Successful leaders understand that people are the basic energy unit and therefore the source of energy and power of any organization. Barack Obama stands out as an example of superior leadership– a leader who understands the difference between inspiration and motivation. Inspiration awakens people. Motivation moves people. Barack Obama knows that personal empowerment is the ultimate motivation of all our efforts and behaviors. Understanding this difference is what moves ordinary people from complacency to positive action. Positive action, originating in positive energy, is what yields positive results. This is the basis of his campaign, one of the most powerful Grassroots organizations ever.
Understanding the power of the ‘intrapreneurial’ spirit (intrapreneur: an entrepreneur that works within an organization) that lives within, Barack Obama doesn’t call forth volunteers– he calls forth the leader that resides in all of us. He demands personal accountability—and gets it. In Obama: Leadership for the 21st Century, I define the dynamics of human energy and organizational human energy systems. I explain how Barack Obama, by using the concept of intrapreneurship, has succeeded in establishing a culture of ingenuity, enthusiasm, passion, collaboration– unlocking new levels of personal power and control. Leaders such as Barack Obama, who are able to unleash human energy, to foster intrapreneurship will ride the wave of the future into the third millennium.
