Fearless: Can the Spirit impact Electrons?
The speed of an electron inside a braincell supposedly can be anywhere from 0 to that of an ICBM (fascinating!)
If the spirit can choose among this range of speed to create a physiological process that leads to a physical task, then the true "free will" is no longer a paradox.
Obviously all of this is old news by now, several books have been written with the latest results in neuroscientific research - but to simply take this and apply it (REALLY apply it) on a daily basis to our leadership behaviors is quite a challenge.
A Fearless Leader takes on that challenge.
Let's see what will happen in the next few days......
Be fearless.....

Fearless Leadership & Schroedinger's Cat
It's been a while since my last post (violating blogger rules?), but sometimes it's necessary to step away from something in order to strengthen it (paradox).
Fearless Leadership also includes a "fearless" attitude towards the unknown - in all aspects. How can we use information about quantum physics to further our understanding and use of fearless leadership?
As a brief refresher (or initial info, depending on where you're coming from) here are two items that I find particularly helpful in furthering fearlessness in leadership - on a daily basis, the practical approach in dealing with business "challenges".(From Wikipedia - excerpt): Many minds
The many-minds interpretation of quantum mechanics extends the many-worlds interpretation by proposing that the distinction between worlds should be made at the level of the mind of an individual observer.
The "Many Minds" Interpretation fascinates me particularly because it links to Schroedinger's paradox (see "Schroedinger's Cat" on Wikipedia, or "Schroedinger's Cat for a 6th grader at http://www.mtnmath.com/cat.html). I dare say that Schroedinger's thought experiment applied to business challenges can/will bring about easier solutions.
How can we use this information and apply it to our leadership challenges? The situation as such exists already (or does it?) and/but we as the observer change the situation simply by observing it or the way we observe it.
I have a draft thought interpretation that is based on recent successes in my own business strategy implementation and plan to use this concept in a more focused way in the coming days now.
I am planning to use this approach every day for the next 5 days and see what happens.
Fearless leadership is also trying new concepts that go way beyond our current way of thinking or understanding "business/work reality".
