Rather than accept the need
for deep change, most of us
practice denial

We work very hard to
preserve our current ego

Invisible resisters

To enter the fundamental
state of leadership is to
reverse the vicious cycle of
slow death


                               6
What causes
the decision to
enter the
fundamental
state of
leadership?


                  7
When unsettling situations
 surround you?

When sudden, unexpected
 change is thrust upon you?

When continual reflection
 suggests so?

When repeated practice
 enables you?

When it naturally occurs to
 you?

                              8
Fearlessness
Not resisting the terrible change ahead

Exposing yourself to potential collapse

         Walk through hell

        Letting go
                                          9
How do you move to the fundamental
        state of leadership?
