The Power of Genius

At the heart of genius is integrity, doing our best to remain impermeable and whole—even in the face of relentless pressure from others.

Integrity is the ability to operate maturely and effectively in relationships with others and less under the automatic guesses (and delusions) of our AY. Integrity is being clear about our beliefs, values, and principles (our “I”). It’s also our ability to be responsive to our environments without having the anxiety and reactivity of others trigger our own AY.

In genius mode, we don’t automatically get pulled into the vortex of our AYs. Further, our genius prevents us from being automatically pulled into the vortex of other peoples’ AYs.

Instead, we define and carry out our genius’ mission. We become clear about who is responsible for what (Lerner 2014).

We move out of default mode and into genius mode.

Then something interesting happens: we also become leaders.

In the words of Warren Bennis, to have true credibility with others, we must be “makers of our own lives,” which just might be the most difficult task of our lives (Kouzes & Posner 2011, p. 43).

It’s ironic, right? The best relationships—and the highest credibility and esteem—come from being who we are, separate from, but still connected to others, on our self-defined paths.

That’s the power of genius.
