Over the years, I have seen and recognized the enormous effect of the CEO’s personality and ‘way of being’ on the energy of a company. All personalities have limitations and drawbacks. But when somebody has the top position in a system, the effect of what they focus on and what they suppress is immense. Whatever a CEO’s automatic way of relating to the world, whatever their way of dealing with relationships, or with conflict, or with results and measurement, or with finances or thinking, gets reflected throughout the organization. Too many CEOs only allow real creative thinking in the areas that interest them and simply avoid those areas that appear more threatening. Now this is human nature, and it’s to be expected. But if CEOs could begin to see the world in energetic terms, they would see the suppressive affect of some of their behavior on the energy of their company and people’s power to execute the very things they most want implemented.

Lorin Smith had developed his own healing practice based on massage, singing, dance, telling stories. As I came to know him over time, I saw he could look at a person, individual, or look at a group, and see exactly what kind of energy was missing. He could see where the joy was missing, or where the relationship was missing. He could see whether people didn’t mean what they said. He could see how their bodies were contracted or turned against themselves or twisted out of shape. He had an ability to see what I was not trained to see. I could already sense some of this in my work with groups, but I was not really construing it in any kind of energetic framework as he did. And what he was able to produce, in terms of sick people getting better or groups going from non-directed to focused, was very fast and remarkable. It was as though he was breathing life—breathing energy—into them. And he would do whatever he needed to do, whatever he could think of to do, given his particular talent, culture, and repertoire.

This is my personal journey, how I came from seeing organizations as static objects, to seeing them as interacting energy fields. It began six years ago, when I was the owner of a 16-person organization development and training firm.  We helped companies with strategic visioning, culture change projects, coaching programs, and project effectiveness. I built the business from a $25.00-a-day practice in 1969 to over $2.5 million in annual revenues in 1993, with the promise of continued doubling in growth.

I didn’t sleep very well during those years.
