This blog post by Rosabeth Moss Kanter, the guru, is well worth the read.
She states, "Just plain energy is a neglected dimension of leadership. It is a form of power available to anyone in any circumstances. While inspiration is a long-term proposition, energy is necessary on a daily basis, just to keep going."
Energy is always being expended, reserved or replenished individually. We have all witnessed what it is like to have the energy in the room get sucked right out leaving it difficult to continue, and we have experienced times when the energy was truly "electric" and contagious. Yet, Rosabeth is correct, it is not generally discussed in terms of achieving tangible results.
Her article provides 3 tips with anecdotes that I found fun to read and it may be very useful to those of you looking for ways to keep the "energy" productive and optimistic in somewhat unsettling times. This of course, includes your own energy!
