Leadership--The Power Shift in Business and Government!
The last few months have been a great study in leadership power, illustrating the ongoing Power Shift From Old Power to New Power facing every leader I explain in my book Author of From Old Power to New Power – Which Leaders Will $urvive?
In business, a recent study on CNN/Money stated that 84% of employees are looking for a new job and will leave when they can find one, up from 60% last year!! Staggering numbers, imagine the losses for leaders/organization when jobs return. Right now many are forced to do the work of 2 for the price of 1 (Old Power, fear they will lose their job if they don't do this),
and are not well led/managed and cannot grow in their careers.
This is a volcano waiting to explode. Only New Power positive collaborative leadership systems are sustainable in keeping the best talent and creating a climate for great innovative profitable ideas. This saves much time and money and creates better results, e. g. increasing revenue 35-40% in a few months in a technology firm, creating a great success in a merger frought with disaster potential -the much loved leader who did not get the CEO job had a heart attack when he was notified! This only took a few months.
The influence of the Tea Party in the November elections clearly shows a demand for greater participation and representation, more New Power leadership processes, based on the expectation of collaboration, the right to make input and be heard. The Obama administration was perceived as Old Power, interesting since his campaign rhetoric was New Power which got him elected. But the Old Power (authoritarian) approach he used in the Health Care Bill really
caused a large backlash, as Old Power usually does, and we see it now challenged in the courts.
Lesson: It is not just platform but leadership process which influences those governed, or in business, employees. Great New Power leadership requires both platform and process, not just platform. Both are crucial. Only the positive is a foundation for sustainable leadership. Negative Old Power leadership always crashes and burns. Don't let this happen to you or to your company! Let us lower your risk and increase your chances of success!
Wishing you the best of success in leading!

What You Say Is What You Get®--What is Really Going on for Leaders in Our Economy?
It's been awhile. Sorry. Travels and computer crash.
But of course, still thinking about leadership and the economic recovery, every day.
Many in the media, as they all have jobs, do not have a clue how tough it is on small business owners. And in NYC and DC, where they congregate, economies and real estate values are again on the rise. Not true out here in the SW!
As the recovery grinds along with the only real uplifting factors due to other economies than the U.S., this means the lessons here have not been learned. The real issue, as I discuss in depth in my book From Old Power to New Power – Which Leaders Will Survive?, now out in a 5cd album, is not greed. Shocked? Let's think it through further. Yes, greed wreaked havoc, the gov't, Wall Street firms, home buyers, Freddie and Fannie, mortage brokers, and living beyond their means, all contributed.
But greed is not the cause of this leadership and economic debacle. It is the symptom, not the cause. The real underlying cause is how power is used and abused, authoritarian, "my way or the highway, I will do what I want regardless of the consequences" attitutes. When leaders or institutions or individuals make decisions based on fraud, create derivatives with air under them, buy what they cannot afford, and make other choices that are harmful.
The poll numbers show that people do not accept this type of leadership any more. They have had it. They actually want representation! Breath of fresh air. I am delighted but surprised that this Power Shift from Old to New Power described in my book hit the political world this soon. I thought for sure it would take longer, and predicted in 2006 when starting the book that Old Power leaders would destroy their firms and their careers, which we have seen. I must confess though that when those words came onto the page, I blanched. Could it really be so severe? But it felt right to leave them on the page. Little did I realize how prescient my words were.
Now, I analyze all leadership behavior in terms of power--how do they use power?
Obama ran on the promise of New Power but turns out to be Old Power. Scott Brown is clearly New Power, explaining why he won a long-Democratic seat. Certainly it was not his conservative platform but his New Power leadership process!
Michael Steele's emails sound very much Old Power.
Palin's speeches demonstrate New Power in her process.
Many corporate CEOs sound like New Power when they serve on leadership panels, yet some are still using Old Power in their companies. The big banks, Chrysler, and GM were all Old Power, which is why they crashed. Ford is moving to New Power, thus survived w/out govt. funds. I realize that you have heard me say this before, but think of it now from where we are, not really recovering in the U.S.
Banks are recovering only a little, and the traders are not taking such far reaching risks, they have learned that much. Has their leadership approach changed? Time will tell. Certainly the lack of communication--the black hole-with customers who need help with mortages is Old Power, pennywise and pound foolish. It will cost them many customers in the future.
Try watching the news through this lens of power, see what you learn. Old Power leaders just want power, to grow their own power and their domain's power, just feathering their own nests. New Power leaders want to bring great results for all involved including themselves, more collaboration, less adversarial behavior.
What will a critical mass of New Power look like for leadership? How much of that critical mass must be in place before we have economic recovery?
What do you see, looking at Old and New Power behavior in leaders? Let me know, see my site below. The Power book is out in audio form as a 5 CD album, in my voice, 5 full hours, only $59.95 introductory pricing, not quite up on the site yet, email us from the site. Book description, same as audio book is on the services/products page.

Seven Powerful Leadership Lessons From the BP Oil Spill
Predicted the morning they deployed top kill it would fail. It did.
Predicted current cap strategy would have only modest success. True so far.
Intuition says the final solution will involved some sort of cascading strategy with different mechanical levels involved and that a French scientist working on it will have a crucial key.
Seven powerful leadership lessons call to us from the BP oil spill in the Gulf!
What can we learn from this tragedy?
and not the U.S., thus the last inspection was 2005. If registered in the U.S, would have more frequent inspections.

New Tech Companies--Old Power Leadership
The great upset about Facebook and privacy is causing an uproar, and rightly so.
right to choose how much they want public vs. private!
Is this a reflection of Obama's leadership style? Pretending to be collaborative positive New Power but really being authoritarian? Or are they like this anyway?

Authoritarian Power Marches Onward- What You Say Is What You Get®
At home, he is using authoritarian old power forcing us to purchase a certain item or be fined for not doing so.
Yet with old power nations, who scoff at positive collaborative New Power and regard it as a weakness to be manipulated, he is using collaborative new power.
Being a lady prevents me from using the language of my MILITARY OFFICER FATHER, needless to say this power is precisely backward from what it should be.
For a while I thought his entire first year focused on health care was a misstep. But now I realize it was a very precisely crafted Old Power strategy to control us. By gaining control of health care and student loans he has control over major segments of the population.
Strategies always reveal goals. Had he wanted economic recovery as his first priority, he would have put jobs first. Clearly not a fan of the private sector as we see repeatedly from his statements he put private sector jobs last, low on the list. He sent stimulus money to states to keep or expand government jobs.
This large expansion of government control is not accidental, we know from his comments on the health care bill that he feels justified passing legislation, he will sign legislation even though it is unpopular, not taking the will of the people as the first order of business.
How much control will he take over the banks? The housing sector? By waiting so long to help small business in any way he delayed innovation and creativity, even green companies, who could not get loans.
At first I thought he was making mistakes from inexperience in an executive role. Now I realize his actions are carefully calculated in accordance with his goals.
Time to speak out! It is all about power. We need leaders who can effectively use New Power here at home and New or Old power effectively abroad, as circumstances require.
God help us all.
In Gratitude for our country, its values, and origin.

Good News Risky News for the GOP-Obama's Old Power Onslaught-What You Say Is What You Get®
Good News:
Obama's Onslaught of Old Power authoritarian my
way or the highway behavior re: Health Care Bill is resulting in more
voter awareness, Tea Party demonstrations, and far more
negative press. People are seeing the threat to us.
He is revealing his true angry Old Power true leadership stance. Charlie
Rangel told a Republican Rep. a year ago that they would push the
health care bill through no matter what.
Fewer people are fooled.
He is mobilizing the people against the way he uses power, not just
against the bill.
Risky News:
Our freedoms to choose are at risk.
Obama's Onslaught has the power of the majority party,
and he is determined to use any means to get what he wants
regardless of what the people want.
As the Tea Party is wise enough not to create a 3rd Party,
the pressure now is ALL on the GOP to present
New Party candidates who not only are conservative but
who deeply understand the Power Shift to New Power
that voters are demanding. Even Scott Brown does
not fullly realize that it was his New Power leadership
process, not just his conservative platform, that elected him.
Before, politics was Old Power.
That is no longer acceptable to the people. There is
no longer any trust of established politicians, as they
are perceived as Old Power, out for themselves but not for
constituents.
Post Scott Brown, politics has changed. Brown brought the
Power Shift from Old to New Power, shaking up politics.
Unless ALL GOP 2010/2012 candidates understand this and have
training in how to lead/communicate as New Power leaders,
the GOP is still at risk as a Party and is leaving our
nation at risk for the worst disaster you and I have
seen in our lifetime. What You Say Is What You Get®!
The opportunity is huge to move our country forward.
The risk is huge if the GOP does not do this right."

Old Power, New Power, Obama, and the Banks
Why are the banks not lending now that things are better?
One of the greatest bottlenecks and frustrations in the
economy now is the banks not lending. A Congressman from
IL states companies in his state with orders on their books
cannot get funding to produce the products to fill the order!
This is nuts!
The issue is, why?
What has scared them into holding onto all the capital they
have and lending much less than before? Even after they
have paid back TARP money? Why would they give up the
additional profits from lending?
The underlying reason is Obama's use of Old Power attached
to TARP funds. Obama is assuming he has the right to expand the right
of the Federal government to control banks even after they have paid back TARP funds. This would frighten any industry. Old Power always scares people into self-protective choices even if those choices are not the most profitable!
Banks are no exception. They are in survival mode like many other industries
and small businesses. Until this changes, they will not lend, which will
continue to slow/dampen our economic recovery.
Our banks are at the core of our economy. As long as they do not feel
safe to lend, the rest of us business owners and leaders won't feel
safe to expand. Trust is everything.

What You Say Is What You Get(R)--Leadership Culture, Corporate Culture and Political Leaders
So sorry for my silence, Cox employee error disabled my internet forever, they had a hard time figuring out how to fix it. Techno-nightmare. But I am back and I have things to say!!
Leadership is the cause and cure of everything! Someone told me this--very powerful.
Implications and follow-up to my latest book, From Old Power to New Power--Which Leaders Will Survive? Please see below.
Leaders face the toughest challenge ever--right now!!
What do you think about corporate leaders' awareness of the lessons from the economy?
Other than the traditional layoffs and cost-cutting, do you think leaders understand
the real meaning? What types of corporate culture are leaders building now? How well is that working?
Right now smart leaders are nervous because the ground is shifting
under their feet. Do they know why? The underlying cause of all this difficulty, with real unemployment beyond 20%? Do you? No, it's not just the greed.
It's all about how power is used--the Power Shift from Old to New Power. Old Power, my way or the highway, is under siege in the U.S., in business, in politics, at home, at work. Everywhere.
What does this mean? What is New Power? Positive collaborative, and open and inclusive. Highly skilled, not armchair psychology. The only form of leadership the best talent and Gens. X/Y will tolerate.
This creates a huge challenge for leaders steeped in Old Power, like Bob Nardelli of Home Depot and Chrysler, as Old Power leaders will harm their careers and take down companies.
Yes, Wall Street firms and GM too, all Old Power firms. In trouble if still alive.
This Power Shift affects all leaders. Whether you like it or not, it marches on.
And now it is hitting politics. Bayh stepping down. Palin stepping up. Brown winning Kennedy's longtime seat, a New Power leader in his position and process. Both traditional parties are of course Old Power. Tea Party members criticize both parties. Voters resent the back room deals and the lack of focus on jobs. Guess what this is about?
Not bi-partisanship. Not Democrats, not Republicans. It is about the Power Shift from Old to New Power. People are demanding it. From both parties. Obama is not focused on what matters most--jobs--he did so too little to late. He decided-Old Power--that the agenda was health care. Upset many, as he campaigned under a New Power image, which is why he won.
Old Power used internally in New Power countries will always cause disruption and backlash. They may not know this framework but those no longer supporting Obama
are reacting to how his administration has used power in ways that has not helped.
Specifics? Stay tuned....more coming on leadership power, culture and style.
Best,
Dr Linne

I Can See the Future of Your Company--Leadership Futures
HI Everyone,
Theme: Enough with the recession! I have had it! Time to grow your business & revenue.
I can see the future of your company. How? Keep reading.
1. Are you buying into the recession?
2. Are you assuming you can’t grow your business yet?
3. Is your revenue suffering as a result of your negative assumptions?
4. Are you being hard on yourself because your business or career is not growing?
5. Are you trying to tough it out alone without the support you need?
6. Do you want powerful tips to grow your business during these tough times?
Mark Victor Hansen recently said the only thing you should be saying about your business is:
“My business is booming.” I tried it adding it to my usual positive spiritual work, even though I am in an industry which is usually cut first and hired back last. It works. Results: Clients and connections for business are showing up, and they are good quality also. What You Say Is What You Get®. Hey, this positive spiritual leadership work I do really pays off! I have also been asked to speak on the same stage with Mark, on an abundance cruise out of Southern
Leadership and Consulting/Coaching Tips
Don’t settle for what you see around you. Settling is not required. Despite the media, and despite your losses, there is always a niche market somewhere that needs your services/products. Always. These are my passionate questions I think about every day. Use them, ponder them, meditate on them, ask yourself these before you go to sleep:
1. What strengths are you under-emphasizing that you could apply more to your work?
2. What are the niche markets you haven’t thought of yet that need what you have and will pay you for it?
3. How can you find them and contact them?
4. Who do you know who can open a door for you in that niche?
5. What do you have that adds massive value to their lives?
6. How can you increase the value you add to your customers’ lives?
“To earn more, express your best more.”
Dr. Linne’s Power Quotes
By Universal Law, if you send out a clean positive request, unmuddied by the negative, the resources you need will show up for you. Focus on your greatness and Be alert. One opportunity recently came to me because I noticed a license plate from my parents’ home state!!
Example: As a Fortune 10, 50, 100 consultant, small business owners were not my market. But they need what I have. So until those big companies start hiring consultants again, small business are a great niche for me.
How did I make the shift? My intuition in August of ’08 told me to drop all my categories and expect the unexpected. I heeded my intuition, being a 4th generation intuitive and a 25+ yr. expert in executive intuition. Small companies showed up!! Not in my typical industries either. They want my intuitive and spiritual as well as my positive leadership expertise. And I recently manifested
revenue for a client by visualization/prayer! She was thrilled.
I can see the future of a company and help that company align with it for maximum success. They are hungry to see their future, which is usually bigger than they have conceived.
How about you? How willing are you to think bigger about possible revenue sources? You can do this if you are willing to work at it!!

Are Your Relationships Suffering from the Economy? What you say is what you get(R)!
1. Are you and your closest associates friends and family stressed out about money?
2. Are you or those close to you snapping, raising your voice, speaking negatively?
3. Are your relationships suffering as a result?
4. Are you being hard on yourself because of the economy which you cannot control?
5. Are you trying to tough it out alone without the support you need?
6. Do you want powerful tips to keep your relationships positive during these tough times?
See below for my powerful secret combination of tips to avoid relationship damage and keep
your relationships more positive.
Are your relationships suffering from the Economy Blues? One person finds himself
snapping at the most positive person he knows. Another finds himself spouting political
rage, dumping it on a friend. Couples in financial stress are snapping at each other.
How about you?
2. Are you or those close to you snapping, raising your voice, speaking negatively?
3. Are your relationships suffering as a result?
4. Are you being hard on yourself because of the economy which you cannot control?
5. Are you trying to tough it out alone without the support you need?
6. Do you want powerful tips to keep your relationships positive during these tough times?
My broker just called. I was going to call him, but he called me just then. The first thing he said was,
“I have been thinking about you. I know what hard times you are going through, but you always have a positive uplifting attitude and tone of voice. You are amazing. Anyone else in your circumstances would be ticked off at the world, but you are not.”
His appreciation touched me deeply and meant so much, as I work hard to walk my Positive Leadership talk and stay positive. He let me know that he really respected my positivity under the stress of losses. I am not angry. I am not taking medications. I have much peace despite the financial challenges and hassles which take up a lot of my time and weigh on me. In order to get that peace, I do many things daily to keep peaceful.
How about you? How are you doing under economic stress? A number of people have indicated to me this month that they are under huge stress and having trouble staying positive. (If you have a job, you should be very very very very grateful!) Some of them have been “leaking” Old Power behavior, even though in their best selves they know better.
They have found themselves furious about national leadership, about their personal losses, snapping at others, and reverting to criticism without any appreciation. It made me realize that although I wrote the book From Old Power to New Power, Which Leaders Will Survive for leaders, the same Old Power negative behaviors are causing problems in personal relationships….
Dear me! Another book to write! Maybe audios instead! Meanwhile, my secrets for staying positive and avoiding negative states--the magic is the combination of all of them together.
Leadership and Consulting/Coaching Tips: Negative Old Power influences to avoid and positive New Power strategies:
Negatives to Avoid If You Want More Positive Relationships
1. Sugar and alcohol, Refined carbs, white flour (except for a glass of red wine with dinner. One!)
They agitate then depress you. Eating these is being overly aggressive to yourself. Try fruit!
2. Negative emotional news and outbursts on the media. This is not entertainment, you are being programmed if you allow it. Let them shout, not you! Any media or stories that paint anyone as a helpless victim. We are not helpless.
3. Avoid negative angry people and relationships, as they will keep you stuck in the negative. This is very
bad for your mental, spiritual, emotional and physical health. Hey, other than that......
4. Stay away from any negative religious messages or programming. God is not angry at you.
5. Watch your own thoughts and words. If negative, switch to the positive. What You Say Is What You Get(R)! This is not a time to criticize yourself or your closest people. Express your feelings without criticizing others. (We teach these skills to clients.)
Many are feeling vulnerable and uncertain from the Economy Blues, especially business owners or the unemployed facing losses. What’s done is done. Move forward based on what you want and what your inner wisdom calls you to be and do.
New Power Positive Relationship Strategies for Leaders, Consultants, Employees, Coaches, and Close Friends & Family:
1. Eat healthy, it will stabilize your moods. Don’t overeat it will drag you down.
2. Exercise safely to boost your mood—yeah, neurotransmitters! You know the drill--check with your doctor first!
3. Give yourself positive supportive relationships and spiritual environments, prayer, meditation. We all need support!
3. Stick with positive media, stories, and people! Speak positive words. What You Say Is What You Get(R)!
4. Appreciate, appreciate, appreciate yourself and others! What You Say Is What You Get(R)!
“Appreciation can make a day - even change a life.”
Margaret Cousins
My broker got it right! So can you! Time to end each day or week with appreciations. Take turns, you go, they go, you go, they go. Very powerful. At the end of each day I appreciate myself out loud for the good things I did that day. Your relationship with yourself is at the core of your relationship with others. Time to build a more appreciative relationship within yourself. My Inner Team Works system I use with clients helps them create deeply self-respectful and self-loving relationships with themselves, thus improving their relationships with others.
For the full discussion of the dynamics, do’s and don’ts of appreciation, see “Wheel 2” in the Engine and 4 Wheels Leadership Language of Strengths System, What You Say Is What You Get®: The Secret Language of Great Business Results, 2nd. Ed.
