For the first time many Americans are hearing– and speaking–
hope. For many, hope means change. Obama has mobilized a
grassroots movement that spans all ages and generations. And from this
hope comes passion– a passion to do more, to have more, to BE more. It is
this passion that drives any organization. It is this passion that drives any
individual. It is this passion that drives America. This is the catalyst of both
the entrepreneurial and the intrapreneurial1 spirit.This is the hallmark of ourthe entrepreneurial and the intrapreneurial1 spirit.This is the hallmark of our
success as a nation.
Intrapreneur: An individual who works as an entrepreneur within an organization, group or team.The
qualities of an intrapreneur include passion, commitment, resourcefulness, creativity and initiative.
Intrapreneurs are risk-takers who see problems as opportunities and assume direct responsibility for
tasks and outcomes. For a more detailed examination of this phenomenon, read

Barack Obama is a leader of intrapreneurs.
He has challenged us to BE and FEEL our intrapreneurial spirit.
Intrapreneurship is natural to most people. At birth, we came packaged with
the innate characteristics of curiosity, ambition, flexibility, creativity and
tenacity– all necessary components of Intrapreneurship. We were born with
passion, commitment, confidence and initiative. It is this combination ofpassion, commitment, confidence and initiative. It is this combination of
positive human energies that directed us to take our first step. Now, far from
birth, in the intrapreneurial spirit, Barack Obama calls each of us to reach
deep into ourSelves and call forth our innate positive energies of enthusiasm,
ambition, hope and desire.

OBAMA ~ The Leadership of “We Are One”, describes how Barack
Obama has etched his place in American history. Here you will find essays,
anecdotes and quotes on leadership, contribution and hope. Leadership experts
will offer their perspectives on how Barack Obama and Joe Biden serve as sterling
examples of some of the emerging leadership strategies of the 21st century.
Some of the words will come from Obama himself; many from ordinary citizensSome of the words will come from Obama himself; many from ordinary citizens
who have been moved from complacency to action. This book, this chronicle,
indeed this story, is an historical event– not just the story of one individual but
the collective voice of a nation. This is not a book of facts and numbers
but an attempt to document a movement of empowerment, change and
personal accountability, the true essence of leadership.

So just how did Barack Obama, a junior senator, become the
presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party?
How did Barack Obama amass more than two million financial donors,
raising over 300 million dollars, in just a few months?
What is it that Barack Obama knows, that you as leader, manager or
supervisor had better know?
Simple. He understands the universal principles of how life works. HeSimple. He understands the universal principles of how life works. He
understands the difference between inspiration and motivation.
Inspiration awakens people. Motivation moves people. Barack Obama
knows that personal empowerment (necessary for happiness) is the
ultimate motivation of all our efforts and behaviors. Understanding this
difference is what moves ordinary people from complacency to positive
action. Positive action, originating in positive energy, is what
yields positive results.

Are you aware that the negative energy in the workplace may be
sabotaging your success, destroying the vital "intrapreneurial " spirit of the
people you manage?
Barack Obama understands this. He doesn’t call forth volunteers. He calls
forth the leader the resides in all of us. He demands personal
accountability—and gets it.
In “OBAMA ~ The Leadership of “We Are One” , the dynamics of human
quantum energy and human energy systems are defined. You will learn whyquantum energy and human energy systems are defined. You will learn why
people rebel against a culture that shuts down their natural desire to
experience themselves as creative spirits. Organizations that understand the
concept of intrapreneurship can succeed in establishing a culture of
ingenuity, unlocking new levels of power and control, and increasing their
employees’ productivity. These are the organizations that will succeed in
the new millennium.

Intrapreneurial Leadership creates an environment that results in
the synergy of human energies. Intrapreneurial Leadership does not
just happen by chance or the positive intent to do so. It is the result
of the application of specific universal principles of human energies.
Barack Obama knows this energy, this power, well. He understandsBarack Obama knows this energy, this power, well. He understands
how these universal principles are at work, not only within him, but
within others as well.
Following are 10 Leadership Principles that will
determine your success:
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
1. Understands the Energy of the Human Spirit – The
Entrepreneurial/Intrapreneurial Spirit: Each of us is an energy system with a
level of accountability, integrity, tenacity, honesty, and creativity. Our results in
work, play, relationships, even our politics, is dependent upon the extent to which
we infuse our spirit, our Selves, our passion– our Energy into all that we do.
2. Ingenuity and Innovation: The creative ability to come up with new and
innovative ideas and cherish the opportunity to implement them.
3. Commitment: Once the vision is defined, resiliency is the necessary ingredient
to stay focused on the end result.to stay focused on the end result.
4. Autonomy: The ability to take a lead on a project, working independently if
necessary, and allowing others to do the same.
5. Relational/Communication Skills: Intrapreneurial Leaders have the ability to be
effective two-way communicators of ideas, instructions and enthusiasm. People
are the greatest asset of any organization, group, and team of any size. People are
the source of power of the organization. Success depends on a leader’s ability to
communicate the vision and move people to act toward achieving established
goals.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
6. Situational Analysis: The ability to analyze and evaluate data independently
in order to make effective and accurate decisions. From analysis comes the
knowledge and confidence to devise and implement effective strategies to
manage and locate available resources.
7. Empowerment: The Intrapreneurial Leader has the ability to instill the
vision in all members of the organization. Managers prioritize; supervisors
direct; Intrapreneurial Leaders will call forth the positive internal
energies/passions to move the organization to the fulfillment of the vision.
8. Vision: A vision begins with objectives and a plan for accomplishing them
with discipline, organization and prioritization.with discipline, organization and prioritization.
9. Can Embrace Diversity: People are the power of any organization. Positive
results come from the willingness and ability to work together and support
each other.
10. Risk: Is comfortable taking risks and accepts all possible outcomes
understanding that falling down isn’t failure, but staying down is a show-
stopper. Comfortable with risk, the Intrapreneurial Leader works to create an
environment that is safe for others to take calculated risks based on analysis
and sound judgment. All new thoughts, growth, and ideas can only originate
within the context of risk.

Life is about Energy.
Your results, your power, in life are dependent on how you use and
control energy. As a leader, you must understand that your results
are dependent upon your use and control of organizational energy.
While energy exists in many different forms, your primary concernWhile energy exists in many different forms, your primary concern
as a leader, is the energy of the individual, the nonphysical, human
energy that exists within each of us, within the people that make
up your teams.These are the energies that fuel our thoughts,
passions, emotions, ideas, motivations, and self-esteem.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Understanding that the most important energies of all are the human
life energies within the individual – mind, feelings, and your interactions
with others – is critical to your power in life. These are the energies that
most affect and control the individual, family, groups, and organizations.
The human energies are the most powerful energies that exist. Power is the
ability to produce the desired results in any area of life, and for any personability to produce the desired results in any area of life, and for any person
or any group. As human energy is the most powerful of all energies, power
in life depends on the ability to control human energies. Understanding this
fundamental principle of human behavior and motivation is what
allows the Intrapreneurial Leader to experience astounding
personal and organizational results.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Everything powerful that exists
is an energy system.
An energy system is any structure, physical or human, that
combines and concentrates energies to create the power to produce
the desired objectives. All groups and organizations are human
energy systems. You, others, your family, your teams, and your
business are all energy systems. Your understanding of life and
energy systems and your understanding and application of the
principles of human energy will create the power necessary to
achieve your desired goals.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Intrapreneurial Leadership begins here: understanding
that positive results depend on the ability to understand the
human energies of people within organizations. The results
of any organization (human energy system) depend on whether
people and teams are operating on positive or negative human
energy. A human energy system can be a family, a neighborhood,
a city, or a nation. The end results produced by any human
energy system depend upon the collective energies of the
people that make up the energy system.

Ingenuity and Innovation
The creative ability to come up with new and innovative ideas and
cherish the opportunity to implement them.cherish the opportunity to implement them.

Barack Obama, in a full embrace of Intrapreneurial
Leadership, has initiated and demonstrates a powerful
strategy of leadership for the third millennium. Barack
Obama understands that all of the important experiences of
life– intelligence, creativity, personal power, good relationships,
joy, love and happiness, etc.– are your nonphysical, spiritualjoy, love and happiness, etc.– are your nonphysical, spiritual
expression of Self. Your ability to lead, to direct change, begins
with this experience of Self and your relationship and
ability to understand and control these nonphysical
energies.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
The nonphysical, spiritual Self, includes
three major areas of energies:
Mental phenomena: Your level of cause and responsibility, ideas and
intuition, intelligence and creativity, beliefs and values, knowledge
and memories.
Emotional energies: Includes all emotions and feelings, both positive
and negative: joy, enthusiasm, like and dislike, interest, happiness,
Emotional energies: Includes all emotions and feelings, both positive
and negative: joy, enthusiasm, like and dislike, interest, happiness,
anger, worry, fear, hate, resentment, guilt, sadness, grief, depression,
etc.
Motivations and behaviors: Includes your relationships with others;
are always energies and include such factors as principles and
integrity, communication and affinity, negotiations and agreements,
and service and love.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Intrapreneurial Leaders know that the human energy system (mind,
emotions and behavior) is a coherent system. It is not just a collection of
unconnected, unrelated, accidental, or randomly-occurring energies.
Understanding that the nonphysical energies that reside within us are the
most powerful energies that exist, is the power that allows the ability to
produce the desired result in any area of life, and for any person, group or
country. Effective and powerful leadership is dependent on how wellcountry. Effective and powerful leadership is dependent on how well
human energies are coordinated and focused on a single goal, objective or
vision. Powerful leaders understand that the ultimate motivation of every
person is to experience more and more positive energy, and less and less
negative energy. This is the ultimate motivation of individuals, families,
businesses, and countries.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Leaders such as Barack Obama, who are able to create a
climate that allows people to experience their innate, natural
expression of curiosity, creativity, empowerment and
resourcefulness establish a population that is self-motivated.
In turn, people raise their chronic levels of energy from
primarily negative to a chronic state of positive energy andprimarily negative to a chronic state of positive energy and
experience.The synergy of the system becomes greater than
the whole, creating the positive results that individuals,
organizations, and our country seek. Successful results are
the end product of positively Energized participants.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Commitment
The ability to take a lead on a project, working independently if
necessary, and allowing others to do the same
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Barack Obama created one of the most successful grassroots
organizations ever by tapping into the nonphysical energy system of mind,
emotion, behavior, motivations, ideas and more. It is from this nonphysical
energy system that ingenuity and innovation arise. We were born with the
innate characteristics of joy, ambition, success, confidence, determination,
and resilience. Barack Obama understands passion. He understands thatand resilience. Barack Obama understands passion. He understands that
negative energy is what destroys an organization and positive energy is what
grows the organization. The same principle applies to that organization that
we call the United States of America. Leaders who understand this
fundamental principle are armed with the knowledge that will allow
them to devise methods to foster environments that lead to self-
empowerment, a necessary counterpart to ingenuity.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Few people understand that they are the creators of their experience.
The consequences of that ignorance are enormous for self, others and the
organization. Understand that nobody has the power to control external
events sufficiently to avoid negative events. For example, the president of
the United States is supposedly the most powerful person on earth, and
even the president cannot control all events, either at home or abroad.even the president cannot control all events, either at home or abroad.
Because circumstances do not determine feelings or emotions, no amount
of control or accumulation of material things or power will ever produce
happiness. Intrapreneurial Leaders understand that they have sole
responsibility for their human energies. Power in life begins with
your ability to control your internal energies.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Barack Obama, also known as ‘Mr. Cool’, is well known for his even
and solid temperament, regardless of the situation. His campaign,
characterized by ‘No Drama Obama’, remained consistent in its adherence
to sticking to the issues as opposed to negative character assassinations.
Although it should be obvious that attacking the world with negative
energy is not a workable strategy for happiness, people never seem to tire of
it– as we all witnessed throughout the presidential campaign of 2008.it– as we all witnessed throughout the presidential campaign of 2008.
People, as life entities, are either creative (positive energy) or destructive
(negative energy). These are the forces that you must commit to in yourself
and in your teams to make them more alive, more powerful, and
more supportive of the intrapreneurial spirit. Intrapreneurial
Leaders understand that they have sole responsibility for their
human energies.

Autonomy
The ability to take a lead on a project, working independently if
necessary, and allowing others to do the same
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Every such group is an alignment of individual energies working
toward common goals and purposes. Group or organizational energy
systems synergize and concentrate energies of all kinds, human and
physical, to create enough power to achieve things far beyond the power
of lesser energy systems or the individual.
Now consider Barack Obama’s grassroots campaign organization. Is it not
the perfect example of the alignment of individual energies working
toward common goals and purposes?
Does it not use energies of all kinds– human, technological, and
financial, for example?
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
While some of these energies are of the physical universe
(technology, money, tools, etc.), the most powerful of these are
the nonphysical human energies such as commitment; decision-
making; persistence; ability to plan, design, communication, analysis;
and the human emotional energies. All of these energies work
together to create the human energy system that is who we are. Thetogether to create the human energy system that is who we are. The
individual then, is a subsystem of a larger, more complex human
energy system. Any organization then, is the collective result
of the individual human energy subsets.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Every thought, action and behavior, has as its intent a desire to
create the internal experience of wisdom and power. This creates an
experience of high self-esteem which naturally leads to happiness and
satisfaction. How a person feels will determine whether they generate
positive or negative energy. To eliminate negative energy, conflicts and
problems, and increase the productivity of your organization, you mustproblems, and increase the productivity of your organization, you must
understand how people feel…. and… you must be secure enough within
your own energies to let them BE and fully express themselves as the
creative spirits that they are.This is the hallmark of Barack Obama. He
speaks to our inner Self; he speaks to our creative spirit. He calls
forth the leader that resides within all of us.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Risk
The Intrapreneurial Leader is comfortable taking risks and
accepts all possible outcomes understanding that falling downaccepts all possible outcomes understanding that falling down
isn’t failure, but staying down is a show-stopper.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Intrapreneurial leaders must be comfortable with risk. Leaders
who understand human energy and how it works will act to create an
environment and circumstances that are safe for others to take calculated
risks based on analysis, sound judgment and talent. All new thoughts,
growth, and ideas can only originate within the context of risk. Leaders
must help everyone in the organization understand and acceptmust help everyone in the organization understand and accept
‘Responsibility for Experience”, that they are the initiators of their
energies – positive and negative. Leaders can direct
circumstances, but ultimately each individual is responsible for
how they react to circumstances, and therefore responsible for
their own experience.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Your control of your inner energies (emotions, and thoughts) is
The only way you can ever achieve and maintain true happiness.
And only you can do it; only you can take control of your emotions.
Nor can you control the emotions or happiness of others. You are
Cause; and so to is everyone in the organization. You are Cause of
your experience which include your identities (your declaration of Self),
your thoughts and your emotions. Many have lived their lives in ayour thoughts and your emotions. Many have lived their lives in a
condition of victim to their human energies of thought and emotion. You
begin to make the transition to Cause when you can accept responsibility
for your emotions and internal energies. You are no longer the
victim of events as you move toward acknowledging your creator
ability.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Again, we can look to Barack Obama for an example of a leader
operating in high personal power. During the primary election
season, with each ‘failure’ he gathered his team to evaluate the results
achieved, determine what could have been done better, and determine how
these valuable lessons can be applied to future situations. There was no
hand-wringing, finger-pointing or lamenting over past events but a
structured analysis of the situation and development of proactive strategies
for implementation. A tolerance for risk is a precursor to intrapreneurial,
original, out-of-the box thinking. New ideas and new strategies to
address new events and circumstances are the natural result of
creativity that is allowed to thrive– and that can only exist within
the context of risk.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Situational Analysis:
The ability to analyze and evaluate data independently in order to make effective and
accurate decisions.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Positive emotional energy is what grows organizations while
negative emotional energy is what harms the organization. A person’s
experience of positive energy is what motivates them to perform well and
contribute their best. Negative energy motivates people to resistance,
conflicts, and sabotage. The positive energy of enthusiasm, passion, interest,
commitment, determination, initiative, and resourcefulness in your teams is
the energy that grows human energy systems. The negative energies ofthe energy that grows human energy systems. The negative energies of
anger, fear, resentment, hate, indifference, apathy, etc., do the most
harm to organizations. So what causes and controls these internal,
nonphysical energies?
The answer lies in the Causal Sequence:
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
The Causal Sequence works like this:
Who I AM, My Energies (BE) determines
↓
What I FEEL (positive or negative emotion) which determines
↓
How I THINK (my positive/negative thoughts) then determines
↓
How I RELATE: How I communicate & treat others and
↓↓
How I ACT (DO), BEHAVE. My ACTIONS determine
↓
My Results = My HAVE in life.
BE ‣ FEEL ‣ THINK ‣ RELATE/DO ‣ HAVE
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Leaders are always working to achieving goals and objectives. Doing
so successfully depends on positive actions, habits and behaviors. Your
positive actions include how you perform your work or business activities.
It includes your driving ability, your ability to use a computer, your hobbies,
and anything else you do in life. Our actions in life are either positive or
negative. Positive actions that leaders can take include keeping your word,
being on time, listening attentively, working with quality and diligence,being on time, listening attentively, working with quality and diligence,
acting with response-ability and accountability. Negative actions include
behaviors such as criticizing, arguing, blaming, laziness, ineffective
communications, and complaining. As positive actions always
originate in positive thoughts, your positive thoughts originate
from your positive internal energies.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Intrapreneurial leaders, such as Obama, know that the only
reason Anyone takes anything personally is because of their
own diminished sense of Self.
Here is a secret: Nothing other people do or say is ever about
you. Nothing.
Even when others attack with anger and venom; they are
acting at the effect of their negative energy, projecting their
negative Self on you (to try to escape them) and venting theirnegative Self on you (to try to escape them) and venting their
own negative energy. External events
never cause your experience.
Nothing that anybody ever says or how they treat
you has any effect on you unless you give it that power,
unless you import it into your world and believe in it.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
That is what we see in Barack Obama. In his elevated
sense of Self. He does not import into his world the low
self-esteem and emotional garbage of others. He does not
need assurance of self-worth from outside sources and can
remain impervious to the detractions of others. Barack
Obama is at Cause in generating positive energy, and is able
to hold his experience of Self in the face of all counter-
opinions.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
A key component of Intrapreneurial Leadership includes the
ability to vary actions and responses until you achieve the
desired result, as opposed to repeating over and over an
ingrained habit of behavioral rut.
Empowerment
As leader, the ability to instill the vision in all members of the
organization. Managers prioritize; supervisors direct; successful leaders
will call forth the positive internal energies/passions to move the
organization to the fulfillment of the vision.organization to the fulfillment of the vision.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Every one of us is the creator of our experience; we are at Cause
for our emotions. We may or may not be responsible for the events
and situations that we encounter, but we are always at Cause for how we
respond. In any situation, you are either Cause (creator) or Effect (victim).
Cause is the ability to produce the desired results; it is your ability to
manifest and create what you want in life– your vision, and the vision of themanifest and create what you want in life– your vision, and the vision of the
organization. Leaders who act at Cause, are those who take response-ability
for their internal experience of Self. Response-ability, you will
recall, is your ability to respond to any given situation.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
As creator of your experience, you are no longer the victim of events
as you move to Cause.The basic problem of negative energy in life, whether
internally, within the family, or the nation is that most people think that
they are Effect.They believe that external events cause their emotions.
When operating in a condition of no power, no control, of being affected by
some external cause or agent, individuals descend into a state of “victim”.some external cause or agent, individuals descend into a state of “victim”.
Clearly we see in Barack Obama from his personal story, that he is not a
victim of life’s circumstances or the expectations of others.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Leaders at the effect of circumstances will also find the standard
behaviors of the victim mentality– instead of taking action, there will
be complaints about the ‘bad’ things to anyone who will listen. Victims
will assign cause to others for the ‘bad’ things in their own life.They will
make others ‘bad’ and wrong for anything that they see as bad in their lives
and in their results. The victim, often by his own actions, will often irritateand in their results. The victim, often by his own actions, will often irritate
and provoke others, be that provocation deliberate or unconscious. Easily
and constantly provoked, the victim is emotionally reactive, easily triggered
and activated by others. The victim is an expert at pointing blame to
circumstances and others for their own failed performance.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Intrapreneurial Leadership demands accountability. Response-ability,
therefore, is the ability and the duty to respond for our actions, including the
restoration of any damage that we cause. Accountability is justice; it is the
equalization of energy, the restoration of energy loss due to failed actions and
behaviors. Accountability has two sides. The first is the positive side: positive
results are rewarded. The second side is the negative side: whoever producesresults are rewarded. The second side is the negative side: whoever produces
negative results is response-able (at Cause) for restoring the energy lost or
damaged. Without such accountability, without the restoration of energy,
response-ability does not exist. The violation of this fundamental
principle of accountability destroys any system, organization or
government.

Relational/Communication Skills:
An ability to be an effective two-way communicator of ideas, instructions
and enthusiasm.and enthusiasm.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
People are the greatest asset of any organization, group, or team
of any size. People are the source of power of the organization. Success
depends on a leader’s ability to communicate the vision and move people
to act toward achieving established goals. Successful communications is
also required for teams and individuals to collaborate smoothly. Getting
people to work on your behalf depends on your ability to relate with people.people to work on your behalf depends on your ability to relate with people.
The cooperation necessary to achieve positive results depends on positive
energy. Success also depends on what is being communicated. People often
have a tendency to absorb and adopt the paradigms in use by others around
them. All socialization and acculturation is a mostly-unconscious
process of learning the vision or perspective of those around you.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
A common barrier to effective communication is the denial of
response-ability. As everyone runs around blaming the other for
being the source of the problem, they deny their participation in creating
the problems and see themselves as the innocent victim. The common
litany that accompanies this is: “I am not the Cause of the problems; I am
not response-able; I am the innocent victim here; None of our problems
are my fault; Someone else is at fault; Someone else is the bad guy.”are my fault; Someone else is at fault; Someone else is the bad guy.”
When all sides deny response-ability there can be no change in the
energy climate. Individuals, teams and organizations that operate in
negative energy will experience a high degree of dysfunction in the form
of conflict, anger, jealousy, mediocrity or rebellion.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Effective communicators work to improve relationships by showing a
willingness to work together and support each other. In control of their
emotions, intrapreneurial leaders such as Barack Obama, are calmer,
more logical and enjoy more productive communications, resulting in
more agreement. People working in positive energy will naturally seek tomore agreement. People working in positive energy will naturally seek to
serve each other and the organization. Cooperation, enthusiasm and self-
motivation will soar. Not only will people remain true to the vision, the
organization will continue to attract more skilled and productive
people.This is the testament to the success of the Obama
grassroots organization.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Able to Embrace Diversity:
The Intrapreneurial Leader understands that diversity is not to be feared
but to be celebrated. While our common purposes far outnumber our
differences, it is through those differences that we can expand our
consciousness and celebrate our common humanity.
differences, it is through those differences that we can expand our
consciousness and celebrate our common humanity.

We are a diverse nation. We are a diverse global community. And yet,
the 2008 presidential election shows us that racial prejudice remains a
critical issue throughout the United States as the question has been asked–
is the United States ready for a black president? Prejudice is the attempt to escape
the feeling of inferiority (negative energy) by projecting and
others to the inferior position so that Self will assume the superiorothers to the inferior position so that Self will assume the superior
position. Prejudice is ego projected to an entire group or class of
persons. Polarization, a creation of the mind, is the division of anything
into two groups, one of which is the in-crowd, the “good” guys, and
The other is the out-crowd, the “bad” guys.

Prejudice and bigotry are just another of the many forms of projection,
polarization, and ego. A person of lowered self-esteem, a negative energy
state, will try to compensate for his decreased sense of Self by invalidating,
polarizing and treating others with negative energy. Intolerance is based inpolarizing and treating others with negative energy. Intolerance is based in
the delusional justification to invalidate another for inconsequential or
uncontrollable characteristics. Organizations that embrace diversity are
those that have successfully reduced the use of such negative energy by
exposing ego as the effort to compensate feelings of inferiority.

Vision:
A vision begins with objectives and a plan for accomplishing them with
discipline, organization and prioritization.discipline, organization and prioritization.

Visions are mental images of something that you wish to create,
manifest, or achieve. Organizations have visions, just as each member
of the organization should as well. A business plan is a physical recording
of a mental vision that is to be created. The archer must have a target, the
artist starts with a sketch, and the architect begins with a blueprint. You create
your life twice: first in your nonphysical, spiritual universe of Self, and then inyour life twice: first in your nonphysical, spiritual universe of Self, and then in
the physical universe. The first is the vision, a vision of what you will create.
Accidents, coincidences, and randomness do not exist in life. Despite
appearances, nothing happens by accident. Organizations and people are
creative. Just as you create everything in your experience, organizations
create their experiences as well, positive and negative.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Your creative power in life comes from understanding the importance
of your vision of what you wish to create.To manifest a vision all you have
to do is energize it. Your attention, your energy, your personal or collective
BE, whether it is positive or negative, creates and attracts. When you or the
organization is in negative emotion, you are energizing and thereforeorganization is in negative emotion, you are energizing and therefore
creating and attracting what you don’t want. This is how the creative
process works. Organizations (human energy systems) in negative energy
will experience increase levels of sabotage, resentment, rebellion,
discontent, negative attitude, and frustration.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
When you live the life that you want, when you live your vision,
You will live in enthusiasm, desire, passion, and joy.This is the
outcome of a worthy vision.The manifestation of your vision begins with
your human energies.Through the operation of the Causal Sequence,
your visions have power.They have the power to motivate and move youyour visions have power.They have the power to motivate and move you
to action, they have the power to direct and move events, people, and
resources into your life that you need to manifest your visions. Others
will be attracted to and respond to your passions, the life energies
that fuel your visions.

Barack Obama has redefined the political landscape in
the United State by using the principles of Energytic
Leadership. Yes, these leadership principles, based on
individual and group human energy systems may appear
to be new.The only thing that is new is our observation ofto be new.The only thing that is new is our observation of
the phenomenal success that Barack Obama has shown by
using these principles– perhaps even doing so intuitively.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Significant to the success of Obama’s leadership model, the most
powerful action that he takes is a constant examination of Self. He
readily acknowledges his imperfection without self-recrimination, but in
an effort to learn and grow. By doing so, he increases his own personal
power and creates the positive results that he seeks.This increase inpower and creates the positive results that he seeks.This increase in
personal power is what fuels his own intrapreneurial spirit, moving him
forward in both his professional and personal success. By inviting us
to do the same, we also increase our personal experience of the
positive human energies of wisdom, power, and passion.
Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
Barack Obama recognizes that intrapreneurs are driven by the
need for satisfaction, an opportunity to contribute to the vision,
an opportunity to create and implement solutions, but most importantly, to
be successful. It is in this success that intrapreneurs can fully experience the
positive, nonphysical, spiritual human energies, and therefore happiness and
joy. Obama has achieved phenomenal results by understanding that
organizations are powerful, complex energy systems, fueled by the mostorganizations are powerful, complex energy systems, fueled by the most
powerful energies on the planet, the life essence energies of the human
being. Power is the ability to enact your vision. Positive power is the
energy that gets things done and achieves the results that you desire.

  • 12. Life is about Energy. Your results, your power, in life are dependent on how you use and control energy. As a leader, you must understand that your results are dependent upon your use and control of organizational energy. While energy exists in many different forms, your primary concernWhile energy exists in many different forms, your primary concern as a leader, is the energy of the individual, the nonphysical, human energy that exists within each of us, within the people that make up your teams.These are the energies that fuel our thoughts, passions, emotions, ideas, motivations, and self-esteem.

  • 13. Understanding that the most important energies of all are the human life energies within the individual – mind, feelings, and your interactions with others – is critical to your power in life. These are the energies that most affect and control the individual, family, groups, and organizations. The human energies are the most powerful energies that exist. Power is the ability to produce the desired results in any area of life, and for any personability to produce the desired results in any area of life, and for any person or any group. As human energy is the most powerful of all energies, power in life depends on the ability to control human energies. Understanding this fundamental principle of human behavior and motivation is what allows the Intrapreneurial Leader to experience astounding personal and organizational results.

  • 14. Everything powerful that exists is an energy system. An energy system is any structure, physical or human, that combines and concentrates energies to create the power to produce the desired objectives. All groups and organizations are human energy systems. You, others, your family, your teams, and your business are all energy systems. Your understanding of life and energy systems and your understanding and application of the principles of human energy will create the power necessary to achieve your desired goals.

  • 15. Intrapreneurial Leadership begins here: understanding that positive results depend on the ability to understand the human energies of people within organizations. The results of any organization (human energy system) depend on whether people and teams are operating on positive or negative human energy. A human energy system can be a family, a neighborhood, a city, or a nation. The end results produced by any human energy system depend upon the collective energies of the people that make up the energy system. Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C.

  • 17. Barack Obama, in a full embrace of Intrapreneurial Leadership, has initiated and demonstrates a powerful strategy of leadership for the third millennium. Barack Obama understands that all of the important experiences of life– intelligence, creativity, personal power, good relationships, joy, love and happiness, etc.– are your nonphysical, spiritualjoy, love and happiness, etc.– are your nonphysical, spiritual expression of Self. Your ability to lead, to direct change, begins with this experience of Self and your relationship and ability to understand and control these nonphysical energies. Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C.

The nonphysical, spiritual Self, includes three major areas of energies: Mental phenomena: Your level of cause and responsibility, ideas and intuition, intelligence and creativity, beliefs and values, knowledge and memories.

  • 19. Intrapreneurial Leaders know that the human energy system (mind, emotions and behavior) is a coherent system. It is not just a collection of unconnected, unrelated, accidental, or randomly-occurring energies. Understanding that the nonphysical energies that reside within us are the most powerful energies that exist, is the power that allows the ability to produce the desired result in any area of life, and for any person, group or country. Effective and powerful leadership is dependent on how wellcountry. Effective and powerful leadership is dependent on how well human energies are coordinated and focused on a single goal, objective or vision. Powerful leaders understand that the ultimate motivation of every person is to experience more and more positive energy, and less and less negative energy. This is the ultimate motivation of individuals, families, businesses, and countries. Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
  • 20. Leaders such as Barack Obama, who are able to create a climate that allows people to experience their innate, natural expression of curiosity, creativity, empowerment and resourcefulness establish a population that is self-motivated. In turn, people raise their chronic levels of energy from primarily negative to a chronic state of positive energy andprimarily negative to a chronic state of positive energy and experience.The synergy of the system becomes greater than the whole, creating the positive results that individuals, organizations, and our country seek. Successful results are the end product of positively Energized participants. Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC

  • 22. Barack Obama created one of the most successful grassroots organizations ever by tapping into the nonphysical energy system of mind, emotion, behavior, motivations, ideas and more. It is from this nonphysical energy system that ingenuity and innovation arise. We were born with the innate characteristics of joy, ambition, success, confidence, determination, and resilience. Barack Obama understands passion. He understands thatand resilience. Barack Obama understands passion. He understands that negative energy is what destroys an organization and positive energy is what grows the organization. The same principle applies to that organization that we call the United States of America. Leaders who understand this fundamental principle are armed with the knowledge that will allow them to devise methods to foster environments that lead to self- empowerment, a necessary counterpart to ingenuity.

  • 23. Few people understand that they are the creators of their experience. The consequences of that ignorance are enormous for self, others and the organization. Understand that nobody has the power to control external events sufficiently to avoid negative events. For example, the president of the United States is supposedly the most powerful person on earth, and even the president cannot control all events, either at home or abroad.even the president cannot control all events, either at home or abroad. Because circumstances do not determine feelings or emotions, no amount of control or accumulation of material things or power will ever produce happiness. Intrapreneurial Leaders understand that they have sole responsibility for their human energies. Power in life begins with your ability to control your internal energies.

  • 24. Barack Obama, also known as ‘Mr. Cool’, is well known for his even and solid temperament, regardless of the situation. His campaign, characterized by ‘No Drama Obama’, remained consistent in its adherence to sticking to the issues as opposed to negative character assassinations. Although it should be obvious that attacking the world with negative energy is not a workable strategy for happiness, people never seem to tire of it– as we all witnessed throughout the presidential campaign of 2008.it– as we all witnessed throughout the presidential campaign of 2008. People, as life entities, are either creative (positive energy) or destructive (negative energy). These are the forces that you must commit to in yourself and in your teams to make them more alive, more powerful, and more supportive of the intrapreneurial spirit.

  • 26. Every such group is an alignment of individual energies working toward common goals and purposes. Group or organizational energy systems synergize and concentrate energies of all kinds, human and physical, to create enough power to achieve things far beyond the power of lesser energy systems or the individual. Now consider Barack Obama’s grassroots campaign organization. Is it not the perfect example of the alignment of individual energies working toward common goals and purposes? Does it not use energies of all kinds– human, technological, and financial, for example? Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
  • 27. While some of these energies are of the physical universe (technology, money, tools, etc.), the most powerful of these are the nonphysical human energies such as commitment; decision- making; persistence; ability to plan, design, communication, analysis; and the human emotional energies. All of these energies work together to create the human energy system that is who we are. Thetogether to create the human energy system that is who we are. The individual then, is a subsystem of a larger, more complex human energy system. Any organization then, is the collective result of the individual human energy subsets.

  • 28. Every thought, action and behavior, has as its intent a desire to create the internal experience of wisdom and power. This creates an experience of high self-esteem which naturally leads to happiness and satisfaction. How a person feels will determine whether they generate positive or negative energy. To eliminate negative energy, conflicts and problems, and increase the productivity of your organization, you mustproblems, and increase the productivity of your organization, you must understand how people feel…. and… you must be secure enough within your own energies to let them BE and fully express themselves as the creative spirits that they are.This is the hallmark of Barack Obama. He speaks to our inner Self; he speaks to our creative spirit. He calls forth the leader that resides within all of us. Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C.

Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
  • 30. Intrapreneurial leaders must be comfortable with risk. Leaders who understand human energy and how it works will act to create an environment and circumstances that are safe for others to take calculated risks based on analysis, sound judgment and talent. All new thoughts, growth, and ideas can only originate within the context of risk. Leaders must help everyone in the organization understand and acceptmust help everyone in the organization understand and accept ‘Responsibility for Experience”, that they are the initiators of their energies – positive and negative. Leaders can direct circumstances, but ultimately each individual is responsible for how they react to circumstances, and therefore responsible for their own experience. Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
  • 31. Your control of your inner energies (emotions, and thoughts) is The only way you can ever achieve and maintain true happiness. And only you can do it; only you can take control of your emotions. Nor can you control the emotions or happiness of others. You are Cause; and so to is everyone in the organization. You are Cause of your experience which include your identities (your declaration of Self), your thoughts and your emotions. Many have lived their lives in ayour thoughts and your emotions. Many have lived their lives in a condition of victim to their human energies of thought and emotion. You begin to make the transition to Cause when you can accept responsibility for your emotions and internal energies. You are no longer the victim of events as you move toward acknowledging your creator ability. Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
  • 32. Again, we can look to Barack Obama for an example of a leader operating in high personal power. During the primary election season, with each ‘failure’ he gathered his team to evaluate the results achieved, determine what could have been done better, and determine how these valuable lessons can be applied to future situations. There was no hand-wringing, finger-pointing or lamenting over past events but a structured analysis of the situation and development of proactive strategies for implementation. A tolerance for risk is a precursor to intrapreneurial, original, out-of-the box thinking. New ideas and new strategies to address new events and circumstances are the natural result of creativity that is allowed to thrive– and that can only exist within the context of risk.

  • 34. Positive emotional energy is what grows organizations while negative emotional energy is what harms the organization. A person’s experience of positive energy is what motivates them to perform well and contribute their best. Negative energy motivates people to resistance, conflicts, and sabotage. The positive energy of enthusiasm, passion, interest, commitment, determination, initiative, and resourcefulness in your teams is the energy that grows human energy systems. The negative energies ofthe energy that grows human energy systems. The negative energies of anger, fear, resentment, hate, indifference, apathy, etc., do the most harm to organizations. So what causes and controls these internal, nonphysical energies? The answer lies in the Causal Sequence: Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
  • 35. The Causal Sequence works like this: Who I AM, My Energies (BE) determines ↓ What I FEEL (positive or negative emotion) which determines ↓ How I THINK (my positive/negative thoughts) then determines ↓ How I RELATE: How I communicate & treat others and ↓↓ How I ACT (DO), BEHAVE. My ACTIONS determine ↓ My Results = My HAVE in life. BE ‣ FEEL ‣ THINK ‣ RELATE/DO ‣ HAVE Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
  • 36. Leaders are always working to achieving goals and objectives. Doing so successfully depends on positive actions, habits and behaviors. Your positive actions include how you perform your work or business activities. It includes your driving ability, your ability to use a computer, your hobbies, and anything else you do in life. Our actions in life are either positive or negative. Positive actions that leaders can take include keeping your word, being on time, listening attentively, working with quality and diligence,being on time, listening attentively, working with quality and diligence, acting with response-ability and accountability. Negative actions include behaviors such as criticizing, arguing, blaming, laziness, ineffective communications, and complaining. As positive actions always originate in positive thoughts, your positive thoughts originate from your positive internal energies. Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
  • 37. Intrapreneurial leaders, such as Obama, know that the only reason Anyone takes anything personally is because of their own diminished sense of Self. Here is a secret: Nothing other people do or say is ever about you. Nothing. Even when others attack with anger and venom; they are acting at the effect of their negative energy, projecting their negative Self on you (to try to escape them) and venting theirnegative Self on you (to try to escape them) and venting their own negative energy. External events never cause your experience. Nothing that anybody ever says or how they treat you has any effect on you unless you give it that power, unless you import it into your world and believe in it. Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
  • 38. That is what we see in Barack Obama. In his elevated sense of Self. He does not import into his world the low self-esteem and emotional garbage of others. He does not need assurance of self-worth from outside sources and can remain impervious to the detractions of others. Barack Obama is at Cause in generating positive energy, and is able to hold his experience of Self in the face of all counter- opinions. Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC A key component of Intrapreneurial Leadership includes the ability to vary actions and responses until you achieve the desired result, as opposed to repeating over and over an ingrained habit of behavioral rut.

  • 40. Every one of us is the creator of our experience; we are at Cause for our emotions. We may or may not be responsible for the events and situations that we encounter, but we are always at Cause for how we respond. In any situation, you are either Cause (creator) or Effect (victim). Cause is the ability to produce the desired results; it is your ability to manifest and create what you want in life– your vision, and the vision of themanifest and create what you want in life– your vision, and the vision of the organization. Leaders who act at Cause, are those who take response-ability for their internal experience of Self. Response-ability, you will recall, is your ability to respond to any given situation. Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
  • 41. As creator of your experience, you are no longer the victim of events as you move to Cause.The basic problem of negative energy in life, whether internally, within the family, or the nation is that most people think that they are Effect.They believe that external events cause their emotions. When operating in a condition of no power, no control, of being affected by some external cause or agent, individuals descend into a state of “victim”.some external cause or agent, individuals descend into a state of “victim”. Clearly we see in Barack Obama from his personal story, that he is not a victim of life’s circumstances or the expectations of others. Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
  • 42. Leaders at the effect of circumstances will also find the standard behaviors of the victim mentality– instead of taking action, there will be complaints about the ‘bad’ things to anyone who will listen. Victims will assign cause to others for the ‘bad’ things in their own life.They will make others ‘bad’ and wrong for anything that they see as bad in their lives and in their results. The victim, often by his own actions, will often irritateand in their results. The victim, often by his own actions, will often irritate and provoke others, be that provocation deliberate or unconscious. Easily and constantly provoked, the victim is emotionally reactive, easily triggered and activated by others. The victim is an expert at pointing blame to circumstances and others for their own failed performance. Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
  • 43. Intrapreneurial Leadership demands accountability. Response-ability, therefore, is the ability and the duty to respond for our actions, including the restoration of any damage that we cause. Accountability is justice; it is the equalization of energy, the restoration of energy loss due to failed actions and behaviors. Accountability has two sides. The first is the positive side: positive results are rewarded. The second side is the negative side: whoever producesresults are rewarded. The second side is the negative side: whoever produces negative results is response-able (at Cause) for restoring the energy lost or damaged. Without such accountability, without the restoration of energy, response-ability does not exist. The violation of this fundamental principle of accountability destroys any system, organization or government. Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC

  • 45. People are the greatest asset of any organization, group, or team of any size. People are the source of power of the organization. Success depends on a leader’s ability to communicate the vision and move people to act toward achieving established goals. Successful communications is also required for teams and individuals to collaborate smoothly. Getting people to work on your behalf depends on your ability to relate with people.people to work on your behalf depends on your ability to relate with people. The cooperation necessary to achieve positive results depends on positive energy. Success also depends on what is being communicated. People often have a tendency to absorb and adopt the paradigms in use by others around them. All socialization and acculturation is a mostly-unconscious process of learning the vision or perspective of those around you. Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
  • 46. A common barrier to effective communication is the denial of response-ability. As everyone runs around blaming the other for being the source of the problem, they deny their participation in creating the problems and see themselves as the innocent victim. The common litany that accompanies this is: “I am not the Cause of the problems; I am not response-able; I am the innocent victim here; None of our problems are my fault; Someone else is at fault; Someone else is the bad guy.”are my fault; Someone else is at fault; Someone else is the bad guy.” When all sides deny response-ability there can be no change in the energy climate. Individuals, teams and organizations that operate in negative energy will experience a high degree of dysfunction in the form of conflict, anger, jealousy, mediocrity or rebellion. Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
  • 47. Effective communicators work to improve relationships by showing a willingness to work together and support each other. In control of their emotions, intrapreneurial leaders such as Barack Obama, are calmer, more logical and enjoy more productive communications, resulting in more agreement. People working in positive energy will naturally seek tomore agreement. People working in positive energy will naturally seek to serve each other and the organization. Cooperation, enthusiasm and self- motivation will soar. Not only will people remain true to the vision, the organization will continue to attract more skilled and productive people.This is the testament to the success of the Obama grassroots organization.

  • 49. We are a diverse nation. We are a diverse global community. And yet, the 2008 presidential election shows us that racial prejudice remains a critical issue throughout the United States as the question has been asked– is the United States ready for a black president? Prejudice is the attempt to escape the feeling of inferiority (negative energy) by projecting and others to the inferior position so that Self will assume the superiorothers to the inferior position so that Self will assume the superior position. Prejudice is ego projected to an entire group or class of persons. Polarization, a creation of the mind, is the division of anything into two groups, one of which is the in-crowd, the “good” guys, and The other is the out-crowd, the “bad” guys. Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
  • 50. Prejudice and bigotry are just another of the many forms of projection, polarization, and ego. A person of lowered self-esteem, a negative energy state, will try to compensate for his decreased sense of Self by invalidating, polarizing and treating others with negative energy. Intolerance is based inpolarizing and treating others with negative energy. Intolerance is based in the delusional justification to invalidate another for inconsequential or uncontrollable characteristics. Organizations that embrace diversity are those that have successfully reduced the use of such negative energy by exposing ego as the effort to compensate feelings of inferiority.

  • 52. Visions are mental images of something that you wish to create, manifest, or achieve. Organizations have visions, just as each member of the organization should as well. A business plan is a physical recording of a mental vision that is to be created. The archer must have a target, the artist starts with a sketch, and the architect begins with a blueprint. You create your life twice: first in your nonphysical, spiritual universe of Self, and then inyour life twice: first in your nonphysical, spiritual universe of Self, and then in the physical universe. The first is the vision, a vision of what you will create. Accidents, coincidences, and randomness do not exist in life. Despite appearances, nothing happens by accident. Organizations and people are creative. Just as you create everything in your experience, organizations create their experiences as well, positive and negative. Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC
  • 53. Your creative power in life comes from understanding the importance of your vision of what you wish to create.To manifest a vision all you have to do is energize it. Your attention, your energy, your personal or collective BE, whether it is positive or negative, creates and attracts. When you or the organization is in negative emotion, you are energizing and thereforeorganization is in negative emotion, you are energizing and therefore creating and attracting what you don’t want. This is how the creative process works. Organizations (human energy systems) in negative energy will experience increase levels of sabotage, resentment, rebellion, discontent, negative attitude, and frustration.

  • 56. Significant to the success of Obama’s leadership model, the most powerful action that he takes is a constant examination of Self. He readily acknowledges his imperfection without self-recrimination, but in an effort to learn and grow. By doing so, he increases his own personal power and creates the positive results that he seeks.This increase inpower and creates the positive results that he seeks.This increase in personal power is what fuels his own intrapreneurial spirit, moving him forward in both his professional and personal success.
