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 our the 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“Creating the Intrapreneur: The Search for Leadership Excellence” also by Victoria DePaul


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 of passion, 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 citizens Some 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. He Simple. 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 why quantum 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 understands Barack 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:


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.


6. Situational Analysis: The ability to analyze and evaluate data independentlyin 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.


Understands the Energy of the Human Spirit

The Entrepreneurial/Intrapreneurial SpiritEach of us is an energy system with a level of accountability, 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.


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 concern While 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.


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 person ability 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.


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.


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 InnovationThe 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, spiritual joy, 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.


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.


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 well country. 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.


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 and primarily 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.


CommitmentThe ability to take a lead on a project, working independently if

necessary, and allowing others to do the same


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 that and 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.


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.


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. Copyright © 2009 by Victoria C. DePaul ~ Galileo Business & Learning Consultants, LLC

AutonomyThe ability to take a lead on a project, working independently if

necessary, and allowing others to do the same


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?


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. The together 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.


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 must problems, 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.


RiskThe Intrapreneurial Leader is comfortable taking risks and

accepts all possible outcomes understanding that falling down accepts all possible outcomes understanding that falling down

isn’t failure, but staying down is a show-stopper.


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 accept must 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.


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 a your 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.


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.


Situational Analysis: The ability to analyze and evaluate data independently in order to make effective and

accurate decisions.


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 of the 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:


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


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.


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 their negative 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.


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.


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.

EmpowermentAs 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 fulf illment of the vision.organization to the fulf illment of the vision.


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 the manifest 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.


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.


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 irritate and 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.


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 produces results 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.


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.


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.


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 to more 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.


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 superior others 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 in polarizing 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 in your 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.


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 therefore organization 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.


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 you your 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 of to 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.


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 in power 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.


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 most organizations 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.
