TRUST IN SELF-ORGANISATION.

TRUST IN SELF-ORGANISATION.
Many people have great difficulty in understanding how complexity works because they are unfamiliar with self-oganising systems. Furthermore, group behaviour that emerges - as if by magic - from the collective interactions of individuals can be a frightening concept to those unaccustomed to it. However the theory and experience of complexity is now so well developed that there is no doubt that complex collective behaviour, will emerge if individuals follow simple rules. Virtual Group runs on four simple rules: Keep moving, Stay close, Don't bump, Leave a scent.

LIVE IN THE NOW.

The mind is a wonderful instrument. It’s what has been responsible for all of our progress: mathematics, space travel, literature, and art. However it’s also what will kill us if we are not careful. Today we seem to have more knowledge, but less judgment. We have more medicine, but less health. We have more food, but less nutrition. We have reached the moon, but won’t cross the street to meet our neighbour. We have conquered outer space, but not inner space.

CRACKING GREAT LEADERS WORK HARD ON THEIR THINKING.

Most of our thinking is negative and harmful. Thoughts ceaselessly punish us for things we did in the past (guilt) and things that might happen in the future (worry). We can’t stop thinking and yet the only thing that is ultimately real and the only thing we can change is the present moment, nothing truly creative or important can come into the world except through this gap. Companies which bring space, time, calmness and order to their employees will be big winners, yet most consultants completely ignore it.

LIBERATE HUMAN ENERGY

The leaders' role is to liberate human energy; this doesn’t mean changing people; it means identifying the greatness that everyone has and putting it to use where it will make the most difference. Think of body, head, heart and soul. As a leader, how can I add to the financial success and security of my people (body)? How can I add to the knowledge and wisdom of my people (head)? How can I add to the reputation, self worth and respect of my people (heart)? And how can I add to the meaning of life for my people and help them leave a legacy of greatness (soul)?

CRACKING GREAT LEADERS ENSURE THERE IS A VISION

The leader needs to make sure that the group has a vision of where it wants to go; this does not necessarily mean that it has to be the leader’s idea. Some of the best results I know about have come when leaders have asked grass roots people what they thought they could achieve in their wildest dreams.

THE CURRENT BUSINESS MODEL IS SLOWLY KILLING THE PLANET AND HUMANITY

The current business model is slowly killing the planet and humanity; but, it doesn’t have to be that way!]] - By looking back over about 30,000+ years of history, I’ve tried to explain in less than 10 minutes, why our current business model is so dangerous and what we can do about it!

WE DON’T USE THE POWER OF JOINING MINDS TOGETHER

I am referring to the incredible power of whole-brained teams of people sharing ideas in a creative and trusting environment. The controversial biologist, Rupert Sheldrake says that brains are more like radios than computers, they have the ability to pick up thinking energy from other people and also to transmit it. Project teams are the new way of working, I predict that in 20 years time no one will work in a 'job' as we currently define them. They are simply too inefficient and wasteful of our most precious resource ... brainpower.
