The
Elements of Power™
The Elements
of Power provide the basic framework and tools for developing personal
and professional mastery. This set of principles and practices has evolved
from
research and experience across cultures and disciplines (social and
personality psychology, organizational behavior, career development
research, wisdom traditions and body-mind practices).
Across disciplines
there has been the repeated discovery of fundamental elements that represent
human qualities, behavioral options, and practices for development.
These Elements of Power represent options for effective action
across domains (e.g., leadership, team building, career development,
athletic activity), and link to personal development through modern
and traditional psychological practices.
The Elements
of Power address the roles of:
- Attention-Energy
- Intent and Openness
- Discipline
- Heart
- Perspective
The practices for
personal mastery begin with developing a set of attitudes
that remind us to take responsibility, to manage our attention and energy,
and to be aware of our habits or identifications that restrict our perceptual,
cognitive, and behavioral options. Through becoming aware of and managing
these habits, we begin to wake up to our inherent freedom and power
and can enhance our effectiveness in different arenas of our life.
