Living Leadership
How do I model Third Paradigm Leadership?
Magnificent leaders are creating a masterpiece rather than achieving an outcome. They are reaching beyond what is, offering out a profound experience in the moment. John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Ghandi, Leonardo Da Vinci...think of any of the great leaders through time and see that they have altered the consciousness of reality by living the art of excellence in what they say, do, breathe and offer out to us all to live by. They stir something deep within the human soul and the human psyche that takes us where we have never been before. They empower individuals and the collective to move into something we have never considered before. This is Third Paradigm Leadership!
Can anyone do this? YES! Third Paradigm Leaders are not just born. They create themselves by living into a far greater future. They embody the reality that they are creating. They do not wait to see if others are going to come along with them. They lead the way into what's new by becoming it and inviting others to join them there.
How?
Integrative holistic living
As a Third Paradigm Leader, you live life whole, in the moment, seeing potential everywhere. You live true to yourself and the things you care about. You are connected to and sense the Life force all around you. Life and all the aspects and dimensions of Life are not separate. It is not personal life, business life, family life. It is all integrated into a full rich life without any need for exclusion or compartmentalisation. It is this way because you are standing in the energy of pure potential of every situation and you and the life you lead become one gracious and powerful movement. When something happens to you in life, you do not see that as something separate from the movement of the potential. Everything that happens to you is a part of potential moving or realizing...and this vantage point gives life grace.
Living as potential realizing itself
Here, you are sourcing potential. Consider that potential could be viewed in multiple levels ~ personal potential (your own), greater potential (for others) and pure potential (for world ). When you live as potential realizing itself, you live beyond personal and greater potential and you begin working with pure planetary potential.
Breakthrough leading
Breakthrough leading is when you seek and activate the actual breakthrough potential of each moment. It is about not settling for what is. It is about seeking more than what is and moving toward what can be.
A new level of authority arises
You are not just leading, you are sourcing and that is a different thing. Standing in third paradigm leadership, you create the goal and source the movement in each moment for what wants to be. In this sourceness, there is a confidence, sureness and alignment that liberates all in its movement. The sureness comes from standing in, aligning with and partnering with the energy of what wants to be. It's not arrogance or "I am right and you're wrong." You step beyond self to become the voice of and for the potential.
A new level of integrity arises
This is where what you do, what you think and what you say are aligned with pure potential, thereby creating new integrity. It is aligning with the wholeness of you and others. For example, you can not just make a decision for your company and not take into account how it affects the whole (the people, planet, purpose, profit, etc.). When you source potential for world , you can not help but stay true to that. The new integrity is self-stewarding.
Sourcing reality
You create and source what living reality is and will be. You move beyond personal reality creation to world reality creation. You embody and live the reality that is sourced with and for world. You are not just creating your own personal reality, but that of our world and all that our future can grow into from there. As you are sourcing present reality, you are feeding, forming and sourcing the future.
The Art of Excellence
The art of excellence comes from doing the things you want to, passionately and exceptionally. This arises graciously when you let go and work in the moment, allowing profound experiences to capture you with the wave of their movement. The excellence is in the moment by moment movement that is occurring between you and this potential rising. The experience is one of constancy, excitement and integrity to the trueness of what wants to happen through you.
Third Paradigm Leadership is about creating the clear, pure space for pure potential to be realized. It is about breakthrough living and leading in every moment. This is the way that great artists do it. A great artist is not just painting. They are exploring the creation of something excellent that touches and alters the frequency of Life, and in doing that, alters reality itself.
