Hard-wired for Meaning...

John Polkinghorne, one of the world’s leading thinkers helped many business leaders to make meaning in the areas of science and religion. leprechaun_play_with_gold_md_wht.gifHow do you help people around you to add meaning to what they value? Polkinghorne spoke openly of his passion and dreams for what he calls a unity of knowledge.  Such unity arises more from a lived experience, than from merely pushing best practices located in Lean or Six Sigma programs.
      Deeply felt meanings are actually hard-wired into your brain... and these permeate your day more than most people realize. An example would be rewards a leader offers to bring staff together,  or roundtables a person creates to give equity a chance.

     In a MITA conference I gave on meaning making and the human brain, one leader described his hard-wired apparatus as an ability to hold a crown six inches over employees’ heads and then he described how he waited patiently until people grew into it. Others who knew this businessman, said he encouraged and valued workers more because of this practice….  some told stories about how they’d landed promotions based on his spoken beliefs about their potential… What does your hard wire for leadership look like? How does it benefit you and others at work…? 
      Just as Polkinghorne points to the logical movement toward unity of people from a unified place of divinity, Maya Angelou sees one purpose for all humanity from within the arts. Where are your hard wired roots for deeper meaning?  If unity comes, in ways Angelou suggests...in how humans “love and are loved,” this inaugural poet models related hard wired examples from her life and lyrics... It seems to me that whenever we hard wire as these leaders did for harmony, it follows that we also tend to speak out against oppressive forces such as racism, sexism, or greed’s subtle dividers... yes, even at the risk of diminishing personal popularity. Your hard wired self adds courage to move you in the direction of deeper meanings you plan to live by...
