This whole “quantum energy” thing is not as “out there” as most think. I suggest it is all very current and is gaining interest from significant corporations very quickly. The challenge in using these insights effectively is in the ‘languaging’ of them. Actually most difficulties in the transformation process are due to language.

These insights into the quantum and energetic dimensions of our existence are anything but “New Age.” Indeed they have been talked about since the beginning of time. I could give you quantum quotes and you wouldn’t know if they came from Pantanjali in 2nd century BC or from Stephen Hawking yesterday.

Many organizations in Asia, for example, have designated “Intuitives” on staff and that’s beginning to happen in North America as well.

What I’ve found is that many senior executives (along with the rest of us) are very much into the mysteries of the energetic realm. They are secretly reading Gregg Braden, Bruce Lipton, Lynne McTaggart, Ervin Laszlo, Michio Kaku and at the very least Dyer. The trouble is they’re closet quantum disciples! No one has given them permission to discuss how energetic principles can create exponential leaps in performance and profitability on a Monday morning. But it’s coming!

I’m now defining “leadership” as “the alignment of the organization’s energy toward its highest purpose.” Health care is all about administering energy to those who lack it. Retail is failing pathetically because it’s an energy vacuum. Teamwork is about integrated energies. Those companies that learn about and use this power first will own their market space.

The interesting thing is that this goes far beyond the quantum world. There is growing evidence in fields from quantum physics to psychology to cosmology and even to organizational theory that many of the fundamentals from quantum physics apply in our everyday world.

What scientists are finding is that, just as our universe is permeated by gravitational and electromagnetic fields, there is an information field (what some are calling the Akashic Field) that permeates and penetrates the entire universe.

This is an information field that we can tap into to increase our effectiveness and understanding of what’s happening. It is through this field that conscious intention can change everyday results. This links in to the effectiveness of goal-setting and creating a clear vision for yourself personally or corporately. We’re finally finding the science that backs it up.

I know this sounds pretty out there, but there’s growing scientific evidence that supports this. A great synthesis of these data is in the book ‘Science and the Akashic Field’ by Ervin Laszlo (or any book by Laszlo).

Really exciting to see you bringing this to the forefront, Jim. It’s an exciting arena and it really lets us understand the real rules we operate by in our day-to-day lives.
