In the recently released Green Lantern movie, the Head Lantern warns planet Earth’s Green Lantern, that “fear makes your constructs feeble!”

His advice actually meant that our doubts, worries, anxieties, trepidations, fears, or as my LinkedIn colleague, Chad expresses it, our limiting, “negative and pessimistic thoughts” will make the products (those “constructs”, blueprints or imaginings) of our minds, our wills and our emotions weak, insipid, inefficient, impotent and ineffectual as we try to deal with the challenges of our world.

Because the Green Lantern was destined to fight a very powerful, extremely terrifying and truly monstrous enemy, he needed to have the ability to tap into and draw upon the full strength and potency of his mental, psychological and emotional faculties, if he ever hoped to defeat this creature.

On the other hand, Christians are advised to recognize and combat the stratagems of their adversary – his methods of warfare are predicated on the injection of those fear producing doubts, hopelessness, and unbelief that, if left unchecked, will surely bring about defeat, misery and deadliness that we are warned to avoid in our quest towards victorious living.

Look at it this way, leaders who are being held captive by, who are struggling in the bondage of, and whose life force (that awesome potential power of the mind, will and emotions) is being choked by a yoke of negative, indulgent, pessimistic, destructive, defeatist, dismal, dismaying, despondent or limiting thinking will not be inspired to reach out to love others, to love themselves or to love the conditions of their lives!

As many gurus, spiritual or philosophical leaders have counseled their disciples, we must take extra care to develop, maintain and sustain a rigorously healthy thought life – we must be vigilant in our awareness of the thoughts and feelings we experience on a moment by moment basis – by using meditation (saying the words that give us unquenchable power), by speaking positive affirmations, by reading the words of power out loud, through prayer to God (the Divine Supreme Being) and through acts of praise and worship for God.

When a negative thought or feeling begins to rise up, we must equip, prepare and focus ourselves to “cast it down”, when defeat or hopelessness appear in our souls or heads, we should capture it and throw it away, when we hear our self talk telling us that our highest, most noble ideals are insufficient and unworthy of our esteem, we must crush and grind the heads of those words into dust!

The Green Lantern was finally able to direct his mind, will and emotions to construct clear thoughts, confident feelings and determined commitment to overcome his adversaries and bring peace and safely to the Galaxy – that should prove that other leaders, like you, can achieve and enjoy those same fruits of victory as he.

Executive leadership strategies must adapt to Imagination Age challenges, complexities and conceptions.

Years ago, when famed scientist, Albert Einstein, said, “To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science”, he was teaching today’s executive leadership teams how they should behave, believe and become Imagination Age strategists.

How will executives, managers and entrepreneurs use their Imagination Age leadership skills to achieve significant, sustainable, strategic advantages through intelligent, instructive and innovative applications of their leadership power, practices and policies?

The Imagination Age demands greater and deeper levels of our cognitive, creative and collaborative competencies – therefore, we need different executive leadership strategies.

Executive leadership policies, plans and philosophies will revolve around the missions, mandates and meanings being employed, embraced or embarked upon by the fertile imaginations of their stakeholders and paid personnel.

While every group, leader and follower is an unique, self-determining entity, I can propose an executive leadership mission, mandate and meaning which has served our company and some of our clients faithfully well:

MISSION = “Enrich the productivity, profitability and prosperity of our strategic imaginations and our leadership power!”

MESSAGE = “Opportunity demands that we imaginatively, innovatively and intuitively use our discipline, direction and diagnostics to fully realize its possibilities!”

MEANING = “We are endowed with a God-given potential to contribute value through the artistic, scientific, vocational and competent exercise of our leadership power!”

4 Ranges of Executive Leadership Activities and Practice
Throughout history, leaders have been influenced and guided by the discipline, direction and diagnostics of 4 distinctive domains of executive leadership practices – these domains, or field of actions or range of knowledges or responsibilities are simply known as the art, science, vocation and competency of leadership practices.

Here are a partial list of the actions involved – to be brief, I have not included the catalog of knowledges or organizational responsibilities for leaders:

“1) Art – performs, philosophies, paints and perfects
2) Science – uses methods, technologies, techniques, tools and processes
3) Vocation – embraces, espouses, engenders, evangelizes and encourages
4) Core Competence – demonstrates an expertise, experience, extension, evolution or expansion in effective leadership practice”

3 Executive Leadership Strategies For The Imagination Age
As you consider the concepts being explored here, I remind you that we are discussing executive leadership strategies for practicing the art, science, vocation and competency of leading.

And these strategies represent the various approaches, directions, imperatives, indicators, intentions and responses leaders can adopt to effectively handle the environmental stimuli, conditions, forces or factors affecting, impeding and surrounding their organizational ecosystem.

The following 3 suggestions for executive leadership strategies being revealed in this article might help influence, impact and inspire you to lead more intelligently, instructively and imaginatively.

Imaginative and Creative Leadership
And in this emerging Imagination Age, the world is looking for leaders who can help others quickly, reliably, wisely and elegantly organize information into practical, useful, relevant chunks of knowledge or collective inputs of wisdom.

We need those leaders to apply their own unique innovative, imaginative, insightful processes to create new advantages, value-added assets and awesome advancements.

Finally, executive leadership strategies which empower, engage, encourage or energize the development, dedication and deployment of other creative leaders throughout the organizational ecosystem and its environs will payoff handsomely in the Imagination Age.

Intelligent and Cognitive Leadership
Our Imaginations are that functionality which drives those actions which we call imagining, thinking, conceiving, believing, reasoning or realizing, assuming, supposing or conjecturing.

Our imaginations give us the power and ability to form or shape images, sensations and concepts inside our minds.

It’s very important to note that our imaginations are the factory within which those pictures, perspectives, emotional impulses and ideas are formed, shaped and conceived in those moments when those items are not and can not yet be perceived by our sight, hearing or our other senses.

Can you see how cognitive leadership strategies help you deal with and unravel the complexities of our global economy?

Instructive and Collaborative or Coaching Leadership
Strengthening your executive leadership skills means learning how to effectively coach, collaborate and train your people to prepare, guide and optimize their ability to handle the many challenges of constantly changing world.

Imagination is that work of our minds which we call resourcefulness, innovation and creativity.

Imagination provides meaning to our experiences and this mental faculty supplies a relevance or a context for understanding knowledge.

Our imagination is the fundamental and essential means through which we make sense of our reality and assign meaning or significance to our world, and as such, our imaginations play key roles in the processes of learning, teaching, collaborating and communicating with other people.

One Final Point
If your executive leadership strategies, practices and knowledge domains need to evolve, then it’s obvious that you’ll need to discover how the philosophies, physics, processes, technologies, tools and techniques being used in today’s leadership skills training programs need to change too!

“Imagination is the voice of daring. If there is anything Godlike about God it is that. He dared to imagine everything.” – Henry Miller, playwright, author

Imagination Age leadership power strategies provide business executives, entrepreneurs, managers and knowledge professionals with a compelling sense of discipline, direction and diagnostic foresight.

Before we go any further, you may wish to ask: “What is this Imagination Age?” “When is it going to begin?” “How might the changes brought about by this new era affect me, impact my organization or infringe upon our corporate resources?”

I hear many of you questioning why I’m calling these frustrating times, the Imagination Age – for instance, you’re probably asking yourself; “Aren’t we already in the midst of an Information Age, isn’t this supposed to be the Knowledge Economy we’re grappling with, doesn’t everybody say we’re competing in the “age of globalization?”

Well, the easy answers to your questions are “yes, yes, and yes”, but what does that tell you about the hidden forces that are driving our world? We might as well face the facts, the Thing that determines the name of any age is the Thing that makes human endeavors successful.

Think about it, in the Agrarian Age, it was our mastery of agricultural practices that made human civilizations prosperous, and in the Industrial Age, it was our ability to produce more and faster that spelled success for industrialists.

“To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.”
- Albert Einstein

And just what is that Thing that makes our efforts more successful in these times? Is it our ability to capture and hold our Attention, no, is it our willingness to make a Recommendation, not necessarily, is it our skilled and consistent use of our Imaginations, well, I say, “yes it is”!

You may discover that your executives, managers, knowledge professionals or your corporate entrepreneurs and your organization are satisfied with playing the “me-too”, “let’s-do-what-They’re-doing” or the “we’re-all-in-this-Thing-together” “game”, so if that’s what your other leaders are thinking, then maybe it’s time you re-thought your affiliation with the company you’re keeping.

Will possessing more information, developing our knowledge or merely having a global perspective make any of us more successful? Do you really believe there are truly sustainable advantages in leading an information-driven, knowledge-producing, globally-aware organization? Can you see the logical reasons why harnessing the imaginative, innovative, intuitive potential of human beings could result in producing a competent, capable and highly competitive business enterprise?

The primary task of leadership is to engage, empower and encourage human organizations so that they produce effective results for their customers, constituents or communities. Executives, entrepreneurs, managers and knowledge professionals employ their leadership strategies, skills and social capital to fulfill their missions.

“This world is but a canvas to our imagination.”
- Henry David Thoreau, philosopher, naturalist

Today’s business leaders need to find better ways of tapping into, unleashing and focusing the powerful physical, mental, emotional and developmental energies of their talent pool.

Along with mining those rich veins or “bundles of human-driven competencies”, Imagination Age leaders must continuously exploit their technological systems, their requisite generative or processing methodologies, space-time arenas (within which events and situations occur) and manifolds (of possibilities) and the diversity of philosophical or operational structures available to their organizations.

In a word, those eagerly sought-after strategies which elevate the substantially higher performance levels of Imagination Age organizations also serve to energize, enrich and engender the totality of their leadership power and provide their stakeholders with an ability to make competitive, effective and opportunistic contributions to our world.

Empowering knowledge professionals and other employees to meet the seriously demanding challenges of this Imagination Age should be the number one priority of today’s entrepreneurs, executives and managers.

Organizational leadership must extensively improve their currently available, rather feeble offerings of leadership skills training programs, behavioral coaching services, personal empowerment counseling, process and structural consultations and professional development courses.

The objectives or imperatives for these interventions involves strengthening the discipline of human thinking and behaving, supplying people with knowledgeable insights and personally-relevant directions and supporting the diagnostic processes everyone needs to improve and succeed.

“Imagination disposes of everything; it creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which are everything in this world.”
- Blaise Pascal

Developing, implementing and managing an online information research strategy are essential tasks for executives, management professionals and entrepreneurs – anyone who is in a leadership position.

In an article highlighting two (2) of seven (7) potentially powerful policies, executives, managers and entrepreneurs are instructed to use their online, social media and other web based research tools, techniques and timed activities to:

1. Discover how the impacts of current events, crisis situations, emerging trends and the fads or fashions in the “popular culture” will affect their organizations;
2. Prepare themselves, their employees and stakeholders and their organizational ecosystems for recognizing, meeting and effectively overcoming the challenges they will encounter.

Everyone accepts the belief that leadership means having a vision, a strategy and an agenda for the enterprise, however, very few executives, management professionals and entrepreneurs devote any meaningful effort, energy or engagement with the facts, figures and findings they need to easily attain their goals, to efficiently pursue their strategic objectives or to energetically realize their ideals.

While this article provides a “mini-tutorial” on information research strategy formulations – it also supplies leaders with some interesting insights about the behaviors and attitudes of their colleagues, competitors and constituents.

How much time do entrepreneurs, executives or managers invest in performing online, social media or web based research?

How many professional development, leadership training or personal improvement books do they read in a year?

Why is it important for those in leadership positions to improve their competitive advantages by becoming avid researchers, promoting the adoption of Imagination Age power strategies and encouraging continuous learning within their organizations?

On the same page as this information research strategy article for executives, management professionals and entrepreneurs, you will learn about some resources you can use to improve your innovative leadership skills, develop better strategic objectives, create “breakthrough”, “fail-proof” plans, manage all your meetings more effectively, and optimize the forces, flows and factors of social energy throughout your organizational ecosystem.

There is an act of the human will which usually gets confused with an act inspired by human emotion called ‘love’. When leading people, you would do well to employ the willful act of love and leave your emotionally-charged love at home.

In a moment we will examine some parameters of the willed love act. However, first, we need to provide some information about the human being. Humans have a mind, they have a will (a free or unimpeded power to make choices) and they have emotions.

So even though there are certain duties, tasks or activities we may not ‘feel’ like performing, we still do those things because we have to, are supposed to do or are obligated to do. In those cases we have performed the act because we applied our willpower and decided to do those acts.

The concept of being a loving leader is based upon your capacity to apply your human will to the acts of thinking, acting and speaking like a loving leader. This loving that you do, is not based on your emotions but is based upon the application of your willpower.

Yes, there is the kind of love which is brought about by the human emotions of lust, greed, jealousy, covetousness or desire. This emotional form of loving comes from and is energized by our feelings.

When writing letters to the various churches established during his missionary ventures, the apostle Paul explains this concept of applying your willpower to acts of the kind of love which is prescribed and approved by God. As Paul writes in his First Epistle to the Corinthians, Chapter 13, Verses 4-8:

Verse 4: “Charity (the affection, good will, love and benevolence shown by effective leaders)
=> suffers long (meaning it perseveres patiently and bravely in enduring misfortunes and troubles and it is patient in bearing the offenses and injuries of others and it is mild and slow in avenging and it is longsuffering, slow to anger, slow to punish), [and this charity]
=> is kind;

charity (this affection, good will, love and benevolence which is an act of human will and shown by effective leaders)
=> envies not (it does not burn with zeal nor is it heated nor does it boil with envy, hatred, anger);

charity (this affection, good will, love and benevolence which is an act of human will and shown by effective leaders)
=> vaunts not itself (meaning it does not boast about one’s own self nor does it use self display, nor does it employ rhetorical embellishments in extolling one’s self excessively),
=> (this form of willful benevolent love) is not puffed up (it does not puff up, make proud, act puffed up, does not bear one’s self loftily, nor is it proud), 

Verse 5 Does not behave itself unseemly (this form of love does not act unbecomingly),
=> seeks not her own (does not act or seek after, seek for, aim at, or strive after solely for himself, herself, itself or themselves),
=> is not easily provoked (this form of loving does not irritate, provoke, arouse to anger, scorn, despise, make angry, exasperate, burn with anger),
=> thinks no evil (does not think about things nor does it reckon up all the reasons, gather or infer, or consider, take into account, weigh, meditate on, or suppose, deem, judge or determine, purpose, or decide on things which are of a bad nature, or not such as it ought to be, nor of a mode of thinking, feeling, acting that is base, wrong, wicked, troublesome, injurious, pernicious, destructive, or baneful); 

Verse 6 Rejoices not in iniquity (this form of loving does not rejoice, nor is glad in any deed violating law and justice or any act of unrighteousness),
=> but rejoices in the truth (this love is the kind of love which rejoices with, or takes part in another’s joy, or rejoices together, or congratulates truth as a personal excellence or as that candor of mind which is free from affection, pretence, simulation, falsehood, or deceit); 

Verse 7 Bears (this is the kind of loving act which protects or keeps by covering, preserves or covers over with silence, or keeps secret, or hides and conceals the errors and faults of others by covering to keep off something which threatens, bears up against, holds out against, and so endures, bears, forbears) all things,
=> believes (this love is the type which thinks to be true, is persuaded of, credits, places confidence in the things believed, credits, has confidence in) all things,
=> hopes (this love hopefully trusts in) all things,
=> endures (this love remains, abides, does not recede or flee, it endures and bears bravely and calmly) all things. 

Verse 8 Charity (the affection, good will, love and benevolence shown by effective leaders) never fails (this love does not fall out of, fall down from, fall off from its purpose, intentions, priorities or its goals): 

Be Cheerful Joyful & Loving!

What Did You Learn?

If You Think You Know, Then Answer These Questions:

1) How many of these loving traits do you employ in your conversations, interactions or exchanges with others?

2) Which of these loving (leadership charity) traits do you not employ in your dealings with others?

3) Which people in your workplace or organization do you normally have problems with when trying to apply this form of (emotionally intelligence based) love? Why do you think you have problems with those people or those types of people?
