Theory of intentional change and beyond

“Welcome everyone,” intons the Lama, who sits cross-legged as he watches his students and guides their meditation from the front of the room. “You may want to remember your intention to be here. You are here to cultivate enlightenment, calm, and insight.”

Intention It is defined as the determination to act in a certain way toward an intended goal, such as a goal or plan. It is derived from the Latin word, Intention, which means: stretch or purpose.

Theory of intentional change is the methodology that the organizational psychologist Dr. Richard Boyatzis presents in his book Resonant leadership. He outlines the same theory in his class at Case Western Reserve University, Ohio, in Transformative leadership through emotional intelligence available online via Coursera.com

Boyatzis sums up his life-long study of leadership in these words: “There is no higher goal than to lead people to excellence, fulfillment, and collective achievement … We need people who can see beyond today, awaken hope instead of despair and attract others. ” on an intentional journey of transformation. “

According to Boyatzis, the ability to motivate people to improve their lives is one of the most critical faculties for learning and understanding. In his classes and books, he answers the questions about how people can improve their resonant leadership skills and how they can stay effective when facing daily challenges.

By integrating key insights with research and case stories, Boyatzis guides us in powerful exercises designed to help us develop a personal view of our life and work.

We learn that resounding leaders manage their stress through mindfulness, hope, compassion, and renewal. Then we write essays designed to generate those same emotions within us.

Focusing on our strengths, values, and sense of purpose, writing exercises fuel our desire to be a better person. This leads us to a personal vision that reveals our ideal self and the desired future.

Seeing who we are now, we ask friends about times when they remember us best and strongest. We examine the strengths we possess that support our desired future and consider the roles we play that have meaning to us. We look at relevant information based on our past experience. And finally, we ask what we must do to bridge the gap between where we are now and where we want to be.

Designing a plan for intentional change culminates the training. Because we are set in our ways, we must make a conscious effort to change. Our change plan will focus our time and energy on making our dreams come true.

To achieve our dreams we must know them and Boyatzis helps us open the door to this discovery. In Rinpoche’s words, “You may want to remember your intention to be here …”
