Move To Greatness:
Focusing on the Four Essential Energies of a Whole
and Balanced Leader
will immerse
you in each of the four energy patterns, to help you understand the
strengths and weaknesses of each, know your natural preferences, and
know how you can literally move yourself and others to
newfound greatness. You will come away from this book with (1) new
insight into yourself (from taking a mini version of the Focus
Energy Balance Indicator which reveals their pattern preferences),
(2) a tailored practice for developing a pattern or leadership trait
you would like more of, (from being guided by a professional coach
through a process of designing your own best practice) and (3)
numerous ways to apply your pattern understanding to
overcoming barriers and deeply improving your relationships,
communication, conflict handling, teams, and organizations. Move To Greatness: Focusing on the Four Essential Energies of a Whole and Balanced Leader builds on decades of research that started with Josephine Rathbone in the 1930’s, who found that the nervous system organized movement according to four fundamental patterns. Electrophysiological recordings in the 1960’s further validated that these patterns related to differing orders in which nerves fired muscles. In the 1970’s, Betsy Wetzig recognized these were more than patterns of movement, and began mapping these patterns to a more holistic view of personality known as Coordination Patterns™. Ginny Whitelaw further applied these patterns to leadership, teams and organizations and, together with Mark Kiefaber, developed and validated an instrument – the Focus Energy Balance Indicator (FEBI) - for measuring pattern preferences. Included in the book is a mini version of the FEBI, plus worksheets that will guide you (along with the skill of an executive coach) toward designing a practice for removing barriers and moving toward greatness. It also includes numerous illustrated exercises – many of which can be done in the office – for strengthening any of the patterns. Additional chapters include stepwise processes for applying the patterns to communication, conflict, teambuilding, and strengthening organizations.About the authors...
