MAKE CONSCIOUS CHOICES

Practice presence– the #1 quality in all great leaders – to be better able to handle whatever shows up, moment to moment.
Check out how the San Diego Padres are doing. Pay particular attention to the frequency of and recovery from injuries by the pitching staff. That may tell you something about possibilities to improve the functioning of your own organization.
As reported by the Wall Street Journal (March –18-19 2006), San Diego is one of several baseball teams looking at new conditioning programs to help reduce injuries. The Padres have turned to one regimen whose relevance in business is other than it seems. And that is yoga.
Yes, yoga – originally an exotic activity from India (skinny people in turbans performing pretzel contortions), then a fad for health-conscious women, now going mainstream. We know of one senior manager who gave his direct reports gift certificates for private sessions with his yoga teacher instead of the usual Christmas items from Tiffany’s – promising them that yoga would improve their golf game. Others emphasize the stress-reduction possibilities of yoga. Ironically, in fact, that benefit leads to skepticism in business circles; in Europe, for example, our colleagues tell us that businessmen don’t believe people can be productive in the “blissed-out state” that they assume to be yoga’s goal.
But they’re missing the point. Yoga is not about becoming so serene that you don’t care about such mundane matters as earnings and performance goals. Its focus is awareness: what’s going on in your body; where are you strong or weak, tense or loose; how are you feeling; what’s the quality of your thoughts. And, above all, where are you in relation to other people and things – not where were you yesterday, or where might you be tomorrow; but where are you right now.
