Cracking Great Leaders Manage Energy Fields
The purpose of this is to show leaders how to increase the levels of energy in the organisation and release goose-bump levels of Organisational Greatness.
In most organisations, managers see themselves as managers of assets. In my experience, a few people (about 5%) are extremely busy, sometimes frantically busy. These are the Tops (senior managers). They are often so busy they don't see that the other 95% (Middles and Bottoms) are frustrated because they know they can contribute more than they do.
In organisations that achieve Organisational Greatness managers see themselves as managers of energy. When managers see the organisation as an energy field much of the work that Tops traditionally do just melts away. They no longer have to solve every crisis (and detail) because it is transferred to the people who actually do the work, and as a consequence, contribute more and are more fulfilled without being overworked or under pressure.
This is an extract from "Cracking Great Leaders", Page 143. The book is about how to release human energy at work. It views people and organisations as energy fields, deeper and stronger than most managers understand - way beyond strengths to Genius.

It is selling well and is now available in Lulu, Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
This book is about how to release human energy at work. It views people and organisations as energy fields, deeper and stronger than most managers understand.
When Cracking Great Leaders release this energy (body, head, heart and soul) theyaccess the ultimate business opportunity, a huge unsailed ocean of potential that will change people, organisations and may even change the world.
This book goes well beyond “strength-based approaches” to Core of Greatness levels. It also goes beyond a process for individuals to a strategic program, based on 22 years of experience, designed to liberate the human energy of every person in your organisation.
It will liberate your own Greatness, liberate Organisational Greatness throughout your organisation and ultimately help liberate Collective Greatness throughout the planet.
This book will appeal to managers who:
*Believe in their people, even before profits
*Realise the existing ways are not creating long-term gains
*Want to enjoy themselves at work and fear dying with their music unsung.
The book is written for business leaders; however, parents, grandparents, teachers and almost anyone would benefit by following the step-by-step proven processes provided.
