The Power of Full Engagement

Leaders Go Above And Beyond the call of duty!

As we dive into the study of The Power of Full Engagement (Schwartz & Loehr) managing ENERGY (not time), is the key to high performance!

Here are 4 key principles to remember:

Principle 1: Full engagement requires drawing on four separate but related sources of energy: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual (p. 9)

Principle 2: Because energy capacity diminishes both with overuse and with underuse, we must balance energy expenditure with intermittent (regular) energy renewal. To maintain a powerful pulse in our lives, we must learn how to rhythmically spend and renew energy. (Quality space) (p. 11)

Principle 3: To build capacity, we must push beyond our normal limits, training in the same systematic way that elite athletes do. We build emotional, mental and spiritual capacity in the same way that we build physical capacity. (p. 13)

Principle 4: Positive energy rituals – highly specific routines for managing energy – are the key to full engagement and sustained high-performance. A positive ritual is a behavior that becomes automatic over time – fueled by some deeply held value. (p. 14)

Here is Tony Schwartz himself presenting the Power of Full Engagement concept (video):
