Actions Create a Resonance Splash on the Matrix.

I recently read an article in which the writer attempted to explain why "leadership" should be changed to "resonance" in looking at the impact of people on an organization. The argument attempted to explain that positive images, memories, emotions and influence have a greater impact than the original actions on the organization, when looking at the broader context of organizational effectiveness.

Sounds like an interesting idea and concept. I also have interesting ideas that are simply short sighted or backwards. I understand the idea of resonance of actions but the writer  misses the larger picture. If you look at the issue from a cause and effect pespective, the cause is the "action" and reasonance is the "effect". If you have no action taking place there is no effect, hense no resonance. It's like looking at a tidal wave. An earthquake, meteor strike, or under water nuclear blast starts things in motion. Then the water rises and creates the tidal wave that reasonates around the globe. It is the initial action which caused the resonance, not the other way around.

From the matrix point of view. All actions. either positive or negative,  create a Splash that are felt by the people you influence.  The larger the Splash the greater  impact on the Matrix. If you are low in the organization your actions will resonate to a smaller pool. If you are higher in the organization your actions will reasonate with a larger body of water. Positive actions create a greater Splash and you gain credibility in your orgnaization. Negative actions create a Splash which may cost you your career. In the end, you may feel the tidal wave of resonace, but it was caused by someones inital actions.
