You know about systems of government, circulatory systems, systems of thought, the educational system…. On and on it goes.
When someone or some group maximizes the potential of one or many systems in concert to create amazing results, they are synergizing their systems for high performance.
The Synergy in Life System and the central concepts of GreenSeed Consulting have come to be as a result of my experience, training, observation, and thought in several diverse areas. These are: systems of team play used in sport; systems of thought from both psychology and philosophy; systems of individual human performance from the study of physiology; systems of education; physical and mental systems from martial arts… and systems of management and leadership.
It was the study of systems of management that started me looking closely at the profound connections within and between systems. I knew from experience that all systems have aims or objectives and that creating synergy within and between systems is where high performance is born. When you look at it in a general sense, everyone knows this but just might not use the same vocabulary to explain high performance. For me, it was when I started to study the area of Systems Thinking — interestingly, it has roots in electrical engineering — that the power of finding and creating connections within and between systems began to establish as at first a thought and now as a FACT in my mind.
For example, there are connections between systems of play in sport and the systems of physiological training used with the athletes on a team; they also require systems of thought that are geared to performance… and this requires a vision or a system of philosophy. That same team requires training and learning derived from and brought forth through systems of education…. On it goes. It’s all connected.
How about your group or team? Are there connections within and between systems? How about you? Do you have a system of thought that creates a state of high performance?
What lays at the base of all the systems that exist in our world? What is the connection that underlies all things? Energy. That is a statement of scientific fact. Energy is our one substance. Create a philosophy or psychology that is hopeful and has an aim, and you will create a resonant physiology of health — based on your use of and direction of energy. Create a system of education that is natural, flowing, and in concert with psychology, physiology, social systems tendencies etc. and you will have a recipe for potential high performance because of the use of and direction of energy. Everything is connected in energy, through aims and objectives, and most importantly through our ability to synergize individual and corporate systems to meet those aims and objectives. That’s high performance! This is fascinating.
