The third learning has been about empowerment in the 21st Century. An individual leader is empowered (freed) when their uniqueness is embraced.
As Dan Pink points out in his book, Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, traditional empowerment is really about controlling the individual – this is not freedom.
Freedom, and therefore empowerment, is a value that begins in the core of the individual. With a confident, conscious balance, the leader stirs the embers of individual values into the flame of Desire & Intent.
This flame burns bright through the intent and commitment of the individual leader. When spoken, Desire & Intent becomes a guide for individual credibility as the leader genuinely offers an environment that embraces the individuality of each person led, influenced, and served.
From the flow of intent to commitment, the leader’s Desire & Intent manifests 21st Century empowerment.
