“An effective leader is willing to think about what's happening and how to understand what's going on. Facilitating flow and making others more conscious of it, the leader communicates an awareness of process to the group, making them more aware of their energies and options. One important principle is to keep track of who has not spoken. ... It's also important to notice when people do speak out but are not heard. Effective leaders practice patience, reminding themselves to wait and observe, remembering that there's always more going on in a group than we're consciously aware of.” PeopleThinkingImportantRememberEnergySpeakWaitingProcessLeadershipLeaderPrinciplesPracticeHeardGroupsAwarenessWillingHappeningsConsciousFlowTrackCommunicateRemindingSpeaks Out Author:Diane Dreher

“We have consciousness and rational powers but unless you're willing to spend the time to gain control of yourself, gain control of your emotions, to think deeply about what you want in a year or two, or where you want your business to be, you're going to be swept away by every new event that occurs in the course of the day or the week and the small amount of time that you plan, that you address to conscious planning, is never enough to overcome the constant tide of emotions and new things happening.” ThinkingWantYearsTwoEnoughCoursesEmotionConsciousnessPlansWeekEventsWillingAmountHappeningsConsciousGainsOvercomingConstantWhat You WantPlanningThings HappenRationalAddressesBe YouTidesNew ThingsSwept AwaySmall Amounts Author:Robert Greene

“There are so many issues that impact women. When we talk about prison reform, for example, women were [once] sterilized in women's prisons. When they were giving birth, they were asked to sign paperwork but they weren't even completely conscious of what they were signing. That sounds like something that would never happen in America, but it was happening, not just in America, but in [California], one of the most progressive states in the United States.” GivingStatesHappensAmericaSoundUnitedUnited StatesIssuesExampleBirthHappeningsConsciousImpactPrisonReformCaliforniaProgressiveLike SomethingSigningGiving BirthPaperworkPrison Reform Author:Patricia Arquette
