After 2001: Our Neotech World

"Indeed, aggressively seizing control brings your awareness to a whole new level you have not yet experienced. That higher level lets you see the responsibilities and their details from a much wider perspective -- from the perspective that you are going to get iron-grip control over them. Your stimulated mind then starts seizing control and starts making the details more efficient. After a few weeks, the drive for control will once again become a natural part of you for the first time since toddler years. You will begin to feel really good...in fact, you will begin to feel that incredible thrill again, not felt since toddlerhood. Power-control will come to us naturally in the Neotech Era after the job revolution."

Technique Four
Power-Responsibility

"To take control, you must really feel 100% responsible for the responsibility or project. In other words, all of you here work for me. You will never enter the realm of integrated thinking if, in your mind, I carry the basic responsibility. If, in your mind, I carry the responsibility, then you have the opening to switch into the externally guided mode. So, you will never become a potent integrated thinker. You may be doing 100% of the work. But not feeling 100% responsible takes the edge off the hard burrowing in and seizing control. So you always lack the complete integrations. Thus, you fall short of the all-important internally guided mode. At this point, you need power-responsibility, you need to really feel 100% responsible for a responsibility or project. That way, you will thoroughly burrow in until you have all the intricate logic and seize complete control.

"This 100%-responsibility concept is a key breakthrough, not only for the employee but also for the employer. If you start your own business someday, you have to know when to let a project or responsibility go and say, 'Okay, you've got it, and if you fail, the project is going to fail. Then and only then will I have to, at that point after you've failed, start over from scratch. But if you're going to fail, I'm going to let the project fail with you.'

"To do that may be very difficult. For, as the entrepreneur, you always carry the sense of responsibility. People working for you may do the work, they may follow through, but you always carry the sense of responsibility. Letting go of responsibility is not in your nature. Letting go is very difficult, especially to the point that if something or someone is going to fail, then so be it. Only then will you deal with it.

"On the flip side, taking 100% responsibility is vital to climbing the ladder to better positions in any company and is absolutely crucial to taking over a mini-company. Of course, I'm not going to casually say, 'Here guy; it's yours, and if you fail, so be it.' Instead, you must take responsibility from me through burrowing in, seizing control, and feeling 100% responsible. Not until you take that 100% responsibility will I risk letting everything go. Indeed, for you to become an integrated thinker and take over a chunk of this business, you need power-responsibility. You need to physically and psychologically take over each responsibility with 100% responsibility. If you take 100% responsibility, your mind will continue taking over greater and greater chunks of the business. Your mind will feel the survival pressures again, sort of like the toddler who must 'get up to speed' with the world around him. Those internally manufactured survival pressures will help kick-start you into integrated thinking and building success puzzles.

"When you feel 100% responsible, you know it. You feel it. You no longer have an external authority to lean on. That doesn't mean you do not have wiser, broader integrators to tap on for advice or input. But you carry and really feel 100% of the responsibility. You feel the pressures, and not any of those pressures go beyond you as you get the information and advice you need from those broader integrators such as myself.
