Description
“People move systems-Leadership moves people”. To master the art of leadership then is to work at becoming a master of how human energy systems and exchange work, and thus, how to shape, align, and focus them on change. Our human systems appear to operate within a set of universal laws, the same universal laws that appear to govern energy exchange throughout the universe. Our systems vacillate and transform from chaos to order, and order to chaos, leaving change in their wake. Why? This session will be a fun and engaging journey exploring several key universal laws and their application to human system dynamics and leadership. In the original television series "COSMOS" hosted by Carl Sagan, he noted that we, as human beings, "are made from the stuff of stars." Perhaps the “stuff” we are made of follows the same laws as the “stuff” out in deep space … come find out and take the next step to becoming a master of the universe.
