After 2001: Our Neotech World



I started really digging into my job like never before. I took full command of every detail in my job and of every detail related to my job. Little did I suspect that digging into and mastering the nitty-gritty details was a direct investment in myself. Not knowing any better, I previously never really mastered the nitty-gritty details. Instead, I just did my work -- just automatically turned in my duties as I was told. Never finding the simple key to investing in myself, I had served the leaders all my adult life.

All that seemed to change as I directed my efforts to getting in and understanding the procedures, roots, current purpose and all the reasons behind the nitty-gritty details: the what, why, where, when, and how. I learned the integrations behind why they were originally formed, how they currently operated, what exactly they accomplished, when and where they applied, and the full and finished purpose and reasons behind how they served the business...including how they served my superiors' jobs. To do that, I reached into my superiors' jobs and began understanding their areas of the business as well. Some superiors did not like this intense and specific digging, but they could not stop it.

By digging into the completed purpose and the subtlest reasons behind every operational detail, I began to master the details. Then, with that full understanding of the full procedure and purpose of every detail, I determined whether the purpose was best served by the way a detail currently existed...or if I could improve the detail to better serve its purpose. The details now moved into my realm of control and integrations. I began to evolve into the internally guided, integrating mode. I began to think -- not just follow what was taught, but integrate what was best. I was evolving beyond leaders, discovering self.

Indeed, by mastering the nitty-gritty details, I now truly ran my job through my own integrated thinking. I dramatically improved my efficiency. Then it dawned on me: Before now, I never ran my job through my own thinking. Instead, I blindly followed. I only turned in responsibilities as I was taught.

I felt my competence grow. As a rising integrated thinker, I took more and more control, and more and more business naturally flowed my way -- to the man in control...the burgeoning self-leader. Instead of just turning in my duties via my set, specialized routine, I aggressively took over those responsibilities and improved them. My control spread over more and more of the business. My mind would never again function through static, specialized thinking in which I functioned automatically in a zombie-like state, for now I discovered dynamic integrated thinking in which I passionately spread my control over and improved more and more chunks of business and success. I was becoming a market-driven businessman. I was exhilarated!

A phenomenon began to occur: At my place of work, as in any company -- well managed or poorly managed -- responsibilities got delegated to subordinates. Yet, as I mastered and absorbed those responsibilities, more and more responsibilities flowed my way, to the man in control. That phenomenon began moving me toward success as I acquired greater and greater integrated knowledge and power.

Mastering and absorbing responsibility was a direct investment in myself and my success. Responsibilities and opportunities began to flow my way that I could never before imagine or know existed. As I rose from my specialization-trap, I knew that the success of all self-made, powerful and wealthy people grew through this phenomenon as they mastered details and absorbed responsibilities, and, as a result, opportunities flowed their way they could have never imagined. Eventually, like them, I would embark on unforeseen adventures into success, power, and wealth.

I wrote in my journal: "In any company, a person is given certain responsibilities. Those first, delegated responsibilities determine his or her capacity to eventually move forward. If the boss gives a responsibility to me, I now take that responsibility into my own realm of integrated thinking by mastering every nitty-gritty detail. I fully take over that responsibility. The average person does not.
