Workforce Management Tips from a "Wandering Ninja"
January 19, 2010
Ninjas probably aren't what you have in mind to improve your workforce, but they might be exactly what your employees need.
A book by Terry Hodgkinson, "Memoirs of a Wandering Ninja: Walking the Path of Enlightenment," may give your workers that inner push they've been waiting for. What good is productivity strategies, after all, if your worker bees are losing ability to contribute because of an inner-deficiency, Hodgkinson might argue.
His book, he says, seeks to provide "life changing revelations to help you overcome life's challenges and learn from the best history has to offer."
Hodgkinson takes readers on a virtual journey to remote "yet spiritually awakened destinations," and shares stories of life transformations he says you can experience by following his philosophy.
Hodgkinson tells, for example, the story of Dennis Konkel, president of The Carlisle Group, who left his home in Ontario, Canada for his annual fishing trip in November of 2000. Konkel was in a canoe with his partner when it capsized, plunging the pair into icy water. He had only a small window of opportunity to swim to shore before hypothermia set in. He reached the shore, freezing and exhausted, when he heard the cries of his partner who couldn't swim. It was then, Hodgkinson, says, that Dennis drew upon what he'd learned from his teachings, found the inner strength to swim back out to his drowning partner, and rescued him.
Since not everyone seeks to nearly die in a canoe to become enlightened, it's good to know the book points out the following (without having to take the horrible-sounding canoe ride):
• Four ancient timeless insights "that put you in harmony with the natural laws of the universe."
• Eleven points on "'The Essential Path' that will awaken your spiritual self."
• How your "'True Self is far different from the self you think you know."
• Steps for "progressing from simple communication to successful subconscious programming."
• Information "to enhance communication, meditation, and awareness in your life."
