E=MC - Is It In Me?


How many times have you seen the E = MC2 formula andwondered what it might mean to you?

Old Einstein had a lot more up his sleeve than fancyalgebraic equations. This particular "thought experiment"still inspires discoveries of various sorts throughout theworld today.

Let's jump back to earlier days in Albert's lab - a manstanding at the blackboard [chalkboard] is furiously pacingup and down in his mind trying to find a symbolicrepresentation for the entity known as energy.

He stops, screams Eureka! and proceeds to writethose famous symbols, Energy is equal to Mass [M] multipliedby the speed of light [C] to the second power. The worldhears of his breakthrough and begins throwing laurel wreathsin his path, everywhere he goes he is hailed as a hero, andthe rest is history - or is it prologue?

In the social realm, we can easily recognize energy. We cansee it appearing, we can perceive it happening, we feel itspresence, we know it by what it does. We all are affected bythe work it performs in every area of our lives.

What can we do as leaders, managers and workers in a timewhen change forces us to shift gears at the speed of light,and alter the shape of our mass at a moment's notice?

How are we supposed to generate, supply and sustain creativeenergy under those crazy circumstances?

What Can Energy Do For Me?

You can use your energy to become a force or an influentialfactor in your daily situations.

The energy of your knowledge, your mental attitude and ofyour work patterns enable you to find solutions, create newopportunities and inspire others.

In a word, your energy is what you use to convert, produce,deliver, create, sustain, maintain, manage, inspire,elevate, resolve, extend, facilitate, nurture, nourish,starve, empower, insure or ensure, impact, affect, color,portend, imagine, suppress, reverse, challenge, model,interrogate, accept, impress, retard, propel, impede,impose, rectify, amplify, shape, craft, electrify, energize,synergize, or transcend things like information,circumstances and possibilities.

=> the status quo - the existing state of affairs

=> the next growth opportunity

=> the resource or thing

=> the inertia of the moment - the tendency for things toremain as they are

What Ever Happened To "M" and "C"?

So what is Mass? It is your skills, experiences, talents,competencies and education.

What is the speed of light squared - it is your developmentas leader who either strongly or weakly desires to

=> "Push the envelope",
