In the High-Energy Zone: The 6 Characteristics of Highly Effective Groups
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
We've all had the exhilarating experience of meshing with others to create something unprecedented: a winning performance or a breakthrough project. But all too often we come away from these "in the zone" endeavors without the tools to sustain that energy, individually or collectively. First as a scientist, then a yoga teacher, and later as a business consultant, Paul Deslauriers has always been fascinated with the flow of energy through systems. From studying the effects of oil spills on ecosystems to the consequence of dysfunctional group behavior in companies and corporations, he has identified the six essential characteristics that create and sustain high-energy group performance: 1) promote holistic relationships and communication; 2) embrace diversity and dynamic balance 3) see possibility and accept uncertainty; 4) maintain openness and flow; 5) clarify intention and co-create alignment; 6) cultivate synergy. The author has worked with companies as diverse as ARCO, J. Walter Thompson, and the U.S. Coast Guard to create a "flow" that resulted in higher levels of productivity and profit. Utilizing his six characteristics, any relationship-from a marriage or partnership to a global business enterprise-can always be In the High-Energy Zone.
