The Energy of Leadership



Have you ever heard the expression that energy can not be created not destroyed? Actually, the law of conservation of energy says that in an isolated system energy can only be changed i.e. kinetic energy to thermal energy. In business, leaders should understand that if we put a great amount of "human equity" - blood, sweat, and tears, we will get a great amount of movement in return. Notice that a positive outcome is NOT guaranteed. The key is to put wisdom and energy together to obtain a fruitful result.

Organizations are isolated systems in this scenario. Meaning, if great people are in the system, and they have great ideas, these ideas can have two affects. One, they can be implemented - leading to new products, technologies, and ultimately new revenue streams. Secondly, they can be squandered - leading to negative forces such as stagnation, employee burnout, and possible failure. It is the job of leaders to squeeze every ounce of positive energy out of everyone in the system including ourselves. If not, that energy turns negative naturally.

Business champions - great business leaders - understand the importance of using all resources for the advancement of the organization. There is energy in our systems. We must use this energy wisely. God bless you!
