Discover The Power of Collaboration and Principled Leadership

 The New Virtual Organization World

It's a New Principled and Civilized World, It's Virtual, and It's Organized

There is a time and place for everything, and everything has its time and place.  Thus, this COVID-19 global pandemic (or as many would say, plandemic or scamdemic) that we are witnessing today is a clarion call for ALL of us to heed a message I have been sending for quite some time over the past 23 years, and extensively over the last decade, about the imperative for all of us to discover both the meaning and power of Collaboration and Principled Leadership.            

As I have postulated and articulated in thousands of comments, articles, papers, treatises and other documents over these years, in the absence of such awakening, One Day We Will All Find Ourselves in the fatal situation of being in the final stages of a boiling frog.        

Of course, the reason that my calls went unheeded - back then and even today, this very minute and second - is because people are so busy slaving away in order to try to make ends meet so they can feed and care for themselves and their families that they have very little time left at the end of the day to understand and realize the urgency of it all.   

The smoke-and-mirrors appearance of  tranquility, safety and security, individual freedom, democratic governance,  success, full employment,  economic prosperity and false sense of climbing up the ladder of success and power;  combined with their naivete, apathy, blind obedience, ignorance, willful ignorance, and stupidity;  made them prime candidates to believe that my messages were alarmist at best, and thus undeserving of any serious consideration. 

Well, with 

• Tens of Million of employees out of work overnight without any sort of advance warning, and their lives completely shattered; 
• A Roaring Stock Market which shows no signs of abating while millions are left homeless or unable to pay their rent or mortgage and relying on government assistance, subsistence,  largesse or edicts to forestall their eviction;  
• Tens of Million of college students living under traumatizing conditions that no one could have ever predicted;  
• Tens of Million of college graduates with nil to none opportunity of ever being able to obtain gainful employment in their chosen profession;  
• Tens of Million of new college students (The Class of 2024) who are faced with the prospect of incurring college tuition debts and campus dormitory expenses for what can only amount to be a "Hellish" and "Insane Asylum" experience in a Dystopian Environment and Totalitarian State;
• Hundreds of Million of pre-school, kindergarten, elementary, and high school students growing up to realize they are NOT the Only Ones who need a Mommy and Daddy to Provide for Them, Care for Them, Love Them, and Keep Them Safe - and who need to Do Their Part (listen to and obey Mommy and Daddy's advice and orders because it's good for them and only Mommy and Daddy know what's best for them)  or else Mommy and Daddy will have no choice but to Shame Them, Scold Them, Strip Them of their privileges,  Give Them some Time-Out,  Send Them to their room or Lock Them in a closet,  Whip Them if they get too belligerent,  Get Them Scared Straight, and push comes to shove, Send Them to a Juvenile Home.     

They just found out that Their Mommy and Daddy are Children of the State and thus in the very same situation that they are in; 

• And nearly 7 Billion people subject to unnecessary lockdowns, a constant and never ending bombardment and stream of the most extreme and sophisticated form of psyops, mass hypnosis, and level of propaganda ever employed in the history of mankind against a global population :: the wearing of ineffective, clownish and ridiculous masks ::  and moronic social distancing without any Real scientific basis ::   along with hundreds of  other restrictions and mandates designed To Keep Us Safe, To Save Our Lives,  and To Help Us Do Our Part and Flatten the Curve! 

Clearly, it should be obvious to anyone who has a pulse, is breathing on their own, and who is not suffering from the most severe case of mental retardation, that we are now indeed in the final stages of a boiling frog.

    

In fact, strictly based on what we are witnessing today throughout every corner of the globe,  let me be the first to admit that I could not, even in my wildest dreams,  have possibly come up with a more plausible scenario or  persuasive and convincing argument or made a better case for each and every single one of us to understand the need to Discover The Power of Collaboration and Principled Leadership.  

Collaboration In a Nutshell

Since I have already written quite a great deal of material on Collaboration,  I am NOT going to waste any more time here writing on this subject.  Instead,  for those who are not lazy and mentally challenged,  let me point you to four (4) awesome examples of Collaboration I can think of:  Example #1  ::  Example #2  ::  Example #3  ::  Example #4

The bottom line is this:   Collaboration is all about the following components:   1) Sharing A Cause,  2) Being Completely Independent,  3) Doing  What You Can Do,  4) Giving What You Can Afford to Give without being compelled or mandated to do so, and  5) Moving On.    

In the absence of any single one of these five (5) components, you have Cooperation - a  parasitic  or master-slave-moron relationship.    

In Other Words, with respect to 

• Component #1.  If you join an organization, or associate with others, primarily or strictly on the basis of compensation and certain benefits to be derived, instead of a Cause that you have in common, then you are engaged in a parasitic relationship.
• Component #2.  If you join an organization, or associate with others, without the Independence, freedom and ability to contribute as you see fit;  regardless as to whether or not your contribution is accepted,  welcomed, appreciated, or compensated;  then you are engaged in both a parasitic and master-slave-moron relationship.
• Component #3.  If you join an organization, or associate with others, and You Are Unable to Do What You Claim That You Can Do -  Or your performance is based strictly or primarily on compensation instead of willingly doing What You Can Do - then you are engaged in both a parasitic and  master-slave-moron relationship.
• Component #4.  If you join an organization, or associate with others, and You Are Unable to Give What You Claim That You Can Afford to Give - or  Refuse to Give What You Claim That You Can Afford to Give - or are Compelled or Mandated To Give in any way, shape or form, then you are engaged in a parasitic relationship.
• Component #5.  If you join an organization, or associate with others,  and You Are Unable to Move On once  the usefulness of your talents and efforts is no longer an imperative (i.e., once there are now 100's to 1000's of others out there in the marketplace who can pick up where you leave off),  then you are engaged in a parasitic relationship.

Principled Leadership In a Nutshell

Since I have also written quite a great deal on Principled Leadership,  let me just point you to the three (3) best examples of Principled Leadership I can think of:  Example #1  ::  Example #2  ::  Example #3

The bottom line is this:   Principled Leadership is all about  Principled Leaders who: 1)  subscribe to the universal a priori ethical code of "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,"  2) are only able to Lead themselves and have absolutely no desire to lead others,   3) are only willing to Collaborate with other Principled Leaders on a co-equal basis, and last but not least, 4)  eschew all forms of hierarchical (slave-master-moron) relationships.

In the absence of any single one of these four (4) components, what you have can only be properly described as the typical Employer-Employee, Leader-Mindless Follower, Slave-Master-Moron,  Influencer-Sycophant,  Royalty-Inferior Subject,  Strong-Weak, Bully-Coward, Cunning Psychopath-Truly  Gullible,  Demagogue-Moron, Cult Leader-Imbecile Follower, Ideologue-Mindless Zombie,  Predator-Prey, and Might Is Right  forms of  Leadership.

In fact, these are the only forms of Leadership that mankind has ever known or experienced.

That means, as it stands today, other than at a VOMI-related entity, you will NOT be able to find any organization or institution in the world which practices Principled Leadership. 

How Collaboration and Principled Leadership Makes a Difference

In a world or society where Collaboration and Principled Leadership are understood, adopted and practiced,  

• We would no longer have  "employers" and "employees."  These terms would be considered "denigrating."   Instead we would only have "Collaborators" who do NOT depend on anyone or any organization or institution in order to satisfy their needs. 
• No single individual would ever have to worry about being laid off or terminated by an "employer."
• The idea of a very speculative and high-risk  Equity Market akin to a casino and ponzi scheme operation would become a very primitive and obsolete concept for the simple reason that Disproportionate Wealth for a few would no longer be generated from any Equity Market.   There would be much more lucrative opportunities for every single Collaborator to generate an immense amount of wealth which is not subject to the vagaries of the financial markets.   That means, the "wealth gap" and being homeless or unable to pay your rent or mortgage and relying on government assistance, subsistence,  largesse or edicts to forestall your eviction would be considered very primitive, archaic circumstances and relics of the past.  
• The notion that Academics  ::::  who are supposed to be "Enlightened" and entrusted with the solemn responsibility of cultivating society's young and fertile minds ::::  would cower in fear like a bunch of frightened animals and go along with the mandates of a bunch of  Political Mobsters, Technocrats, Demagogues, Tyrants, Psychopaths, Sociopaths, Fake Scientists, and PsyOps Professionals ::::  without even a whimper of  protest and discontent ::::  is not only unfathomable but also could never be a possibility.   That means we would never have to worry about the sort of trauma that today's college students are experiencing. 
• Every single college graduate would be inundated with an avalanche of opportunities to Collaborate immediately upon graduation. 
• New College Students (the incoming class) would never be faced with the sort of nightmarish, dystopian, and totalitarian world on a College Campus that today's Class of 2024 is faced with.   No College Administrator in their right mind and with an ounce of dignity would ever allow something like that to happen on their watch regardless of the dictates of the State or any local government.  No Parent would ever succumb to such idiocies.  No Student would ever agree to such learning environment and living conditions. 
• No Parent would ever allow the State to dictate to them when, where, how and by whom their minor children can be educated.   That means the sort of dystopian reality that today's children are confronted with would be nothing but a "nightmarish past" and "distant memory."
• The idea that over 7 billion people across the globe could be subject to as well be coerced to go along with or voluntarily submit to "lockdown mandates, restrictions and orders" by the State or any other power or entity is not only an absolute impossibility but is also something that could never be uttered seriously or in jest,  in private or public,  to anyone by any responsible or  sane member of the executive, legislative and judicial branch of government anywhere in the world.   

In fact, prior to this so-called pandemic, I never thought even in my wildest dreams that the American people could be so gullible, easily manipulated, cowardly, and weak to go along with such diabolical scheme.  So much for the myth about Land of the Free and Home of the Brave!

How You Can Make the Transition From Employee or Stakeholder to Collaborator

Regardless of your current station in life (e.g., Religious Leader, Royalty, Head of State, Military Leader, Political Leader,  Legislative Executive, Judicial Executive, Chairman, CEO, CXO, Member of Executive Leadership Team, Board Member, VP, Manager, Staff Member, Line Member)  the only way you can make the transition to Collaborator is to take the following steps in chronological order:

• Do a great deal of soul searching in order to determine a Cause of great interest to you that you would willingly support or dedicate yourself to for the rest of your entire life without any sort of reservation.  A cause that requires no deliberation or justification and which has no need for anyone's permission or approval.  By all means, be sure to exclude any sort of financial compensation  or "how you are going to make a living" from your thought processes. 
• Refrain from trying to locate individuals and organizations with worthy causes that you would like to support and contribute to.  You must strictly focus on your own cause or else you will quickly become disappointed with these other causes and continually embark on a "cause shopping spree."  
• Once you are at peace with that decision, then go ahead and seek others  who share the same Cause via social media and any other medium. 
• Once you have identified these individuals and organizations, contact only  The Head of these organizations in order to offer to Collaborate based on the foregoing definition of Collaboration.  There is a good reason for that:  If "The Head" of such organization is too damn busy or feels too  important to respond directly to your offer to collaborate, then that means they know nothing at all about Collaboration and you'll be better off on your own or someplace else. 
• By all means, being a Collaborator does NOT mean that you have to quit Your Current Day Job  since they are not mutually exclusive.   Becoming a Collaborator is strictly the fastest and most reliable way to lessen your dependence on - and to Quit - Your Day Job.  

 Making the Transition From Leadership to Principled Leadership 

Since Virtual Organization Management Institute and affiliated or related entities are the only organizations in the world which practice Principled Leadership, that means it would be a quixotic effort to try to identify a Principled Leadership entity anywhere in the world.   Therefore, throughout the introduction process with non-VOMI related entities,  your task is to introduce them to the foregoing Principled Leadership concept.   

The point being, it is NOT their actions that you need to monitor and regulate.  It is YOUR VERY OWN ACTIONS which must adhere to the "Principled Leadership" concept.   You get to Lead Yourself instead of trying to lead others.   You get to Lead by example.  

Turning A Nightmare Into A Dream Come True

In conclusion, the COVID-19 episode has been a blessing in disguise for many in the sense that it has been A Time to Pause and Reflect for:  

• Anyone who has ever felt trapped in a dead-end job for the simple reason that they need to make a living and care for their loved ones.
• Anyone who had given up on their dreams and aspirations simply because they were told in more ways than one that they had to be pragmatic because ''a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."
• Anyone who is afraid of "aiming too high" because others around them led them to believe  that what they sought to achieve was nothing but "a pie in the sky" or they need to pay their dues first prior to aspiring to such high position. 
• Anyone who has been "dumbed down" for so long that they've lost all sense of self-worth and dignity  and thus believe that they themselves are not entitled to live a free, dignified, and prosperous life.
• Anyone who has ever been told "it's not what you know, it's all about who you know" and felt left out because they weren't a member of  the Good Ole Boys Club.
• Anyone who now lives in a country with a "caste system" that determines how far you can go and how high you can ever rise in life. 
• Anyone who now lives in a country where your "family name" determines how many doors will open for you and how much you can ever hope to achieve in this life.
• Any woman who has ever felt that they needed to be part of the Good Ole Boys Club in order to succeed (i.e., they needed a man to help them succeed or rise to the top).
• Anyone who has ever felt that they Needed to Be Sponsored or Validated by the Powers-That-Be in order to succeed or rise to the top. 
• Anyone who is just downright sick and tired of blaming others or constantly coming up with pathetic excuses as to why they are living a shitty life. 
• Anyone who is just downright sick and tired of constantly getting manipulated by all the forces arrayed against them;  have made a decision to no longer take any kind of shit from anyone; and have opted to be responsible for their own life and put their life in their own hands.  
• Anyone who has ever been told that they are either too young and naive, too arrogant, too dark-skinned, too light-skinned, too ethnic, too old and have too much experience, too inexperienced, too dumb, too stupid, too fat, too skinny, too tall, and too short to ever hope to accomplish something that they aspire to.
• Anyone who believes that their nationality, race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, political affiliation is a contributing factor to their current lot in life.

Now that I have introduced you to the Power of Collaboration and Principled Leadership, the only person who can ever get in your way is YOU and no one else.   The only name that you need in order to open doors for you is Your Own Name.   The only person who needs to Validate you is YOU.  You are NOT too young, too old, too dumb, etc., to aspire to accomplish anything in this world.  You can now say "Fuck the Good Ole Boys Club and Powers-That-Be" and focus on becoming a Collaborator  and  Principled Leader.    All you need is a Cause!  (And it does NOT have to be Our Cause.)

Hold On to Your Precious Gift of Collaboration and Principled Leadership

There is no greater power on earth than Collaboration: "being able to do what you can do" strictly because you want to and for no other reason; and Principled Leadership:  "being able to Lead Yourself" in accordance with the highest a priori ethical code of "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" strictly because that is the right thing to do.

They are the world's most powerful Weapon, Armor and Shield that anyone could ever possess and the world's most valuable and priceless gift.  Therefore, hold on to your priceless gift as if your life depends on it - because it does.

Make no mistake about it, many will question your actions and motives, and silently ponder, "What's your angle?  You've just provided me with advice or services worth millions of dollars and yet you did not charge me one dollar, is it because you don't understand the value of what you just did for me or are you downright stupid?"  

Indeed, in my case, some will outright protest and demand that I accept some form of compensation.  And some will repay my gesture with a gift or token of appreciation.  

But what most of them fail to realize is that I haven't really done anything for them,  I did what I did for my own soul and they just happen to be around at the right time and place to be the beneficiary of my deeds.  The benefits that I derive from such deeds are innumerable and I am really and truly thankful to be blessed with the skills and talent I was able to share with others when they needed it the most.   That's all!    

Therefore, if you happen to be a beneficiary of my deeds, I only expect you to do one thing:  Just pay it forward! 

Moreover, I don't want to get mystical, but let me state this as clearly as I can without sounding superstitious or religious.  The point being, there have been many times in my life when "doors opened for me" unexpectedly and out of nowhere; when I wondered how it was humanly possible for me to overcome normally insurmountable disasters and tragic experiences; and many other events and stories that are so mind-bending that they make you wonder if there is some sort of intelligence out there (from a scientific standpoint we have yet to discover) watching over us, keeping count and taking notes of our actions, and being of assistance to those who are deserving.  

As the old saying goes, when you learn to do the right thing, you have nothing to worry about; but when you live by the sword, you die by the sword.        

Where Do We Go From Here?

Although this is a very brief document (don't laugh), please note that all the links contained herein lead to a grand total of nearly 800 pages of content.   Thus the reason I stated earlier that learning how to Collaborate is NOT for the lazy or mentally-challenged.   

In the event you are able to meet that challenge, then I invite you to review the following VOMI-related initiatives in order to determine if there is any sort of  synergy between any of them and YOUR (new) Cause:

• Official Global Ambassador of VOMI Global Think Tank 
• League of Extraordinary Virtual Organization Executives 
• The New Virtual Organization World Consortium
• Virtual Campus Dormitory Consortium
• Virtual Residential Community Consortium
• Virtual Organization Management Institute
• VOMI Virtual Organization Academy
• Virtual Organization Leadership
• Virtual Organization Recruiter 

The Bottom Line

In a nutshell,  here is what we are all about in chronological order:  

• Agenda Item #1.    Internal Providers License.   Being the founder of both the Virtual Organization Management discipline pioneered since 1997 and Virtual Organization Management Institute, my primary focus is on offering  to Global 5000 organizations and governments worldwide an Internal Providers License which will allow them to offer the Virtual Organization Leadership Executive Training, Assessment  and Certification and the formal Virtual Organization Leadership Executive designation  to 1000 Mid-Level Management to Senior Level Executives within their own organization.  

Such training includes the aforementioned art of  Collaboration and Principled Leadership.

• Agenda Item #2.    Virtual Organization Leadership Force.   The training offered at Agenda Item #1 will set the stage for these organizations to develop their very own internal Virtual Organization Leadership Force  spread out across  the globe.   For example,

• Microsoft Virtual Organization Leadership Force  
• Google Virtual Organization Leadership Force 
• JP Morgan Virtual Organization Leadership Force 
• AT&T Virtual Organization Leadership Force 
• Apple Virtual Organization Leadership Force  
• Netflix Virtual Organization Leadership Force  
• Disney World Virtual Organization Leadership Force 
• Amazon Virtual Organization Leadership Force  
• US Congress Virtual Organization Leadership Force  
• Department of Defense (DOD) Virtual Organization Leadership Force 
• NASA Virtual Organization Leadership Force   
• NSA Virtual Organization Leadership Force 
• FEMA Virtual Organization Leadership Force 
• Cyber Command Virtual Organization Leadership Force 
• Yale Virtual Organization Leadership Force  
• Harvard Virtual Organization Leadership Force 
• MIT Virtual Organization Leadership Force 
• South Africa Virtual Organization Leadership Force 
• Belarus Virtual Organization Leadership Force 
• African Union Virtual Organization Leadership Force 
• NATO Virtual Organization Leadership Force 
• European Union Virtual Organization Leadership Force 

Disclaimer:   Please note the aforementioned entities are strictly listed for illustrative purposes and are NOT existing clients of VOMI and affiliated entities as of the publication date of this article. 

• Agenda Item #3.   Consortium Membership.   The implementation of Agenda Item #2 will set the stage for these organizations, institutions, governments, and academia  to join the aforementioned consortia shown below:  

• The New Virtual Organization World Consortium
• Virtual Campus Dormitory Consortium
• Virtual Residential Community Consortium

• Agenda Item #4.   New Global Civilization of Intelligent Beings.   The implementation of Agenda Item #3 will set the stage for Political Evolution,  the development of a New Global Civilization of Intelligent Beings and prosperity worldwide.
• Agenda Item #5.   Human Evolution.   The implementation of Agenda Item #4 will set the stage for the beginning of HUMAN EVOLUTION. 

The bottom line is this:   We are all about Human Evolution.   However, that being said, and as clearly outlined throughout Agenda Items #1-5, it all begins with the Virtual Organization Management discipline. 

In Conclusion

Therefore, our first priority is a focus on Collaborators, by extension,  Official Global Ambassadors  in every single country in the world.  Real Deal Collaborators  who truly share the Cause of Human Evolution ::  who are  Completely Independent :: "Who Will Do What They Say They Can Do," and "Who Will Give What They Say They Can Afford to Give."    

We are also focused on another group of Collaborators, by extension, Distinguished Members of League of Extraordinary Virtual Organization Executives.     

If you believe you are a good fit for either of these two Collaborator opportunities, then proceed in accordance with the information provided within the referenced documents.  Otherwise,  I am not prepared to engage in discussions that fall short of Collaboration with anyone and thus lead to nowhere.  

On the other hand, even if you are NOT a fit,  if you know of anyone who may be a good fit, then share this document with them.

Let Us Manifest!

A Global Need for Principled Leaders

The New Virtual Organization World

It's a New Principled World, It's Virtual, and It's Organized

(Part 2 in a series of articles on A Global Need for Principled Leadership) 

A Global Need for Principled Leaders
by Pierre Coupet

So, what does it mean to be a "Principled Leader" and why should we even care?  

I am very much aware that there are some who would argue that the term "Principled Leader" is an oxymoron and that there is no empirical evidence to indicate that such animal has ever existed throughout the entire history of mankind.   

As well, there are others who would argue that "pragmatism" takes precedence over "principles" and that they would rather be a "Pragmatic  Leader" than a "Principled Leader" - someone who can make the necessary tough decisions when circumstances so warrant, instead of someone who's bogged down by--or chained to--some artificial concept or dogma which has no relevance or semblance to the realities of life and governance in a dangerous, doggy-dog world.

And yet, there are some who believe that they are not only "principled" but also "pragmatic" leaders, and that these characteristics are not mutually exclusive.

And last but not least, there are some who claim that, though they are "principled leaders," they can ill afford to reveal that in their current environment because, once exposed, they would be railed against, blackmailed, completely destroyed, blacklisted, and run out of town or killed. 

Therefore, given this divergence of views on what it means to be a "principled leader,” I believe it is high time that I clarify what it means to be a principled leader.

Subscribes to A Priori Ethics

A Principled Leader subscribes to a universal code of ethics called “A Priori Ethics.”   A priori ethics subscribes to only one principle, which is: "Do no harm and do unto others as you would have them do unto you."  

Therefore, if any single action you are contemplating cannot pass this test, then it should not be undertaken. There is no room for ambiguity, rationalization, equivocation or any other sort of consideration.

Clearly Articulates a Set of Principles that He Follows

A Principled Leader clearly, unequivocally, and unmistakably articulates to the world a set of principles that he will not deviate from under any circumstances, even at the risk of his own peril ::: transparency, being chief among them.  

After all, it’s only fair that you forewarn others about where you stand before you begin to engage with them.   The worst possible thing that could happen is that some would ignore your warnings and try to put you to the test in order to find out whether or not you really mean what you say; or if you are just another one of these hypocrites who talk out of both ends of their mouth and love to project the smoke-and-mirrors effect of stating a set of principles that nobody cares to follow.

   

Leads Himself Instead of Others

A Principled Leader leads himself instead of others; and insists upon others within his circle of influence that they too learn how to lead themselves :::: in accordance with the universal code of ethics: “A Priori Ethics.”  

Why is that, you might ask?   That’s because being able to lead yourself in a “principled” fashion is a truly herculean task and the most difficult job in the world. Hence the reason why 99% of our so-called leaders have a tendency to fall from grace at one point or another during their tenure or lifetime; due to hypocrisy, moral perversion and putrefaction, political or business corruption, blackmail and numerous sorts of other “human compromise operations” :::::: and why most people prefer to be led by others.

To truly lead others is impossible.   That being the case, why in the world would anyone want the burden of having to “truly lead” others? Well, the answer is very simple:   Although most people prefer to be “truly led” by others - the key words here being “truly led”; in reality, that is not what they get since that is literally impossible to do.

  

Instead, people are herded, dictated to or manipulated.   Instead people who want to be led are herded like cattle in a particular direction; “dictated” to and   “manipulated”  like children by leaders who provide them with certain mandates and dictates which must be followed or else suffer the consequences (in terms of blackmail,  terminations,  being blacklisted,  fines, restrictions to  freedom of movement or assembly, restrictions to freedom of choice, restrictions to freedom of association, persecution and prosecution, financial ruin, confinement, physical abuse, physical and/or public humiliation, mental degradation, psychological pain,  and even death).   

And that, my friends, is indisputably the essence of governance across all sectors, segments, and levels of society everywhere in the world.

Principled Leaders can only lead by example.   The follow-up question then becomes, “How can you rely on others to lead themselves if it is such a difficult task?”   Fair question.   The answer is:  Initially, those who are exposed to Principled Leaders within their natural environment will follow their “examples" until such time that they have become accustomed to “leading themselves," and it has become second nature to them; a perfect example of “Leaders Leading by Example.”   

Does Not Seek to Inspire Others and Is Rather Inspired by His Team

A Principled Leader does not seek to inspire his team and avoids developing a “cult of personality” within his organization. Rather, he is inspired by his team’s accomplishments when they undertake the task of “leading themselves.”

People who seek inspiration from a leader are too easily manipulated and a grave security risk. Generally speaking, people who seek and rely on “divine inspiration” from a leader in order to function and be productive are very programmable and can be easily manipulated; have no strong desire to “lead themselves”; are the very same people who will turn on a dime against their leader the minute they have been properly indoctrinated, incentivized, or “bought and paid for”;  are easily  influenced by malevolent individuals or entities to act against their own self-interests through internal destabilization operations and color revolutions; and normally revolt when they find out that their leader is, after all, “human and flawed” - just like them.  

In one minute, they portend or profess a willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice for their leader; and the next minute, they will betray that leader and sabotage the organization’s operations; or lynch him and have his neck either in a guillotine block or dangling at the end of a rope.

Does Not Seek to Motivate Others and Is Rather Motivated by His Team

A Principled Leader does not seek to motivate his team; and avoids treating his team like children. Rather, he is motivated by his team’s zeal and performance when they undertake the task of “leading themselves.”

People naturally prefer to be treated with respect and dignity.   So, if a Principled Leader treats his people with respect and dignity and expects--as well as insists--that they “lead themselves,” they will respond accordingly.   They will treat their job as if it were their own business and give it all they got. After all, there is no better feeling than being in control of::::and responsible for::::your own life; including all your failures, setbacks, and accomplishments.

     

Only brings on board people who want to lead themselves.   On the other hand, if a leader treats his people like children, they will act and respond accordingly since that leader has a tremendous amount of control over that person’s livelihood.  Eventually, that leader will run out of “employee loyalty and incentive programs,” and things to say and do, in order to “motivate” his team.  At which point, his people will start getting bored with their job and begin to look for their next “fun and games” job.    

That’s why it’s critical that a current or prospective “Principled Leadership Organization” employer is very transparent about wanting to bring on board people who have a very strong desire to “lead themselves” instead of employees who want to be led the traditional way - like sheep and children.

Embraces Freedom In Its Totality

A Principled Leader believes that “freedom” is the most valuable and priceless gift of all that any human being could possess, more valuable than life itself.   Freedom attaches strictly to an individual at the time of conception and is neither a right nor privilege to be accorded, granted or dispensed to others by some person, entity, government, powers-that-be, or document.   

Whereas democracy does not advance freedom and is rather a means to restrict freedom; is a farce and fantastic illusion designed to trick individuals into surrendering their freedom in order to legitimize and ensure the tyranny of a “bought and paid for” minority.

After all, your leaders and elected representatives can always claim that they are acting within their mandate and, most importantly, with your consent.

Freedom can never be given to you.  Freedom can never be taken away from you.   You - and only you - can surrender your freedom in exchange for some perceived benefit; and even then, you can reclaim it at any time at the blink of an eye without having the need to ask for it back, or to request any sort of permission.   Obviously, such priceless gift requires that you be willing to safeguard it at all costs - even if it means with your life.

  

Therefore, a Principled Leader must always be extremely sensitive about encroaching on the freedom of others. As well, he must adopt a zero-tolerance policy which ensures that no individual within his circle of influence strays away from this most sacred principle.

Embraces the “Betterment of ALL of Mankind” as a Supreme, Overarching Principle

A Principled Leader’s supreme and overarching principle; and the primary test which must be met prior to moving forward with any agenda; is always based on the answer to this central question: “How will this particular policy, action, event, decision or mandate enhance the betterment of ALL of mankind?”

Therefore, if an agenda is deemed “beneficial” only to a particular individual, group, organization, entity, country, geopolitical alliance or bloc of countries, collectively referred to as (the “players”), at the exclusion of, and or detriment to, "other players”; then that agenda should either be scrapped completely or revised in order to avoid or eliminate the harmful effect(s) it would have on these other players.   

Betterment of ALL of mankind is the essence of principled leadership and bona fide capitalism.  That, friends and colleagues, is the true essence of principled leadership and “bona fide capitalism” instead of the current "fake leadership" and “pseudo- or quasi-capitalism” in place today throughout the world.   The faithful adoption and implementation of this principle allows prosperity :::: engendered by principled leadership and bona fide capitalism (capitalism in its truest form) :::: to spread to every single individual in every corner of the globe.   

After all, it is worth noting that capitalism, in its truest form, was never meant to benefit only a chosen few. Nor was it ever intended to propagate or enable economic enslavement, disinformation and false flag operations, blackmail and intimidation and terror, blatant propaganda, puppet and corrupt governments, poverty, disease, chaos, death and destruction throughout the world.     

“Betterment of ALL of mankind” principle exponentially increases investor and shareholder profit.    The adoption of this principle frees up global human potential that will in turn result in an explosion of "real transparency," goodwill, collaboration, innovation, investment, revenues, wealth generation, and investor and shareholder profit across the globe.   

Real Transparency.  When you’re doing something good, common sense says that you want the whole world to know about it.  But when you’re up to no good, it’s also obvious that you wouldn’t want to advertise that to the world. At which point, the flow of information will be strictly on a need-to-know basis.   Real transparency (instead of today's fake transparency) renders politics as we know it today completely obsolete; a relic of our corrupt, primitive, troglodyte and neanderthal past.

Goodwill.  Most people can tell the difference between bullshit and genuine acts, ideals versus actions, and optics versus substance.   It’s all about karma:   You screw people over and they will eventually find out; and sooner or later, the chickens will come home to roost.  You do well by others, and you will automatically reap goodwill in return.   It's as simple as that.

Collaboration.    It is the greatest barrier to fear, ignorance and stupidity.  People who work together and collaborate with each other get a chance to learn how much in common they have with each other instead of the lies and propaganda they are fed by their "chickenshit masters" through the global mainstream media.   Global collaboration allows us to increase productivity and efficiency at an exponential level; provides us all with our basic needs and wants; and makes poverty and pestilence a thing of the past. Global conflict would be reduced to a level never before seen in the entire history of mankind.  Mankind would be able to make the transition from “human beings” (very primitive and savage beings) to “intelligent beings” in no time at all.    

Innovation.  The pace of innovation will also increase at an exponential level.  Imagine a world producing on a yearly basis the equivalent of 10,000 Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, Werner von Braun, Steve Jobs, Thomas Edison, etc. working on and developing new technologies for the benefit of all of mankind.      

Investment. Investors of all stripes and persuasions would have a field day investing in the latest and most advanced technologies -- like kids in a candy store.

Revenues.    A rising tide of revenues would fill the coffers of investors, businesses, employees, retirees, governments, foundations, charitable organizations, educational institutions, etc.   

Wealth Generation.     Wealth would be more evenly distributed throughout the globe.  Instead of people living from paycheck to paycheck, people would be free to pursue their dreams and aspirations without the fear of bankruptcy.   A quality education would be affordable to all.  People will assert their independence; insist on safeguarding their freedom; and will totally reject today’s population mind control and mind manipulation by government acting in concert with special interests and the global mainstream media.    

 

Investor and Shareholder Profit.  Investor and shareholder profit would shoot through the roof, which would in turn make it possible for investors to quickly reinvest their profit into more lucrative ventures.   

Failure to adopt "Betterment of ALL of Mankind Principle" means business as usual.   Absent the adoption of--and strict adherence to--the "betterment of all of mankind principle," the essence of bona fide capitalism, the only outcome we can ever expect throughout the world is the continuation and proliferation of what the world has been experiencing from time immemorial to this day:  smoke-and-mirrors democracy,  “democratic” dictatorships, insurrections, wars, genocide, unnecessary wholesale death and destruction,  state-sponsored terror and destabilization operations,  rampant diseases,  famine, obscene poverty, murder and mayhem, tyranny, oppression, repression, massive scale fraud and corruption at every single level and branch of government, puppet leaders, economic sanctions, modern day slavery,  criminal organizations acting under color of law, religious and ethnic strife, etc.            

Exclusively Works for a Principled Leadership Organization

A Principled Leader can only function within a “Principled Leadership Organization.”   A “Principled Leadership Organization” is an organization or entity whose core foundation is centered around the notion that the welfare of all the people who serve their organization; as well as their clients and the communities in which they all live; take precedence over individual shareholder profit; AND subscribes to the "Principled Leadership" leadership model.  (View the article A Global Need for Principled Leadership for more information regarding the “Principled Leadership” leadership model.)    

A Principled Leadership Organization and a Principled Leader are 2 sides of the same coin.  An almost fanatical obsession and emphasis is placed on (1) a strong ethical code of conduct based on a priori ethics, (2) substance,  (3) people,  (4) merit,  (5) high performance, (6) high rewards. And, most importantly, “Principled Leadership Organizations” require “Principled Leaders.”

Why Should We Even Care to Have Principled Leaders?

As to why we should even care to have principled leaders, it’s because the future of all of mankind, our civilization, and our entire planet depends on it.  

I know that sounds a bit melodramatic, so let me elaborate a bit:

The world has changed, so stop these stupid games.    As we all know, the world has changed a great deal in the past quarter century and the old rules of the game either no longer apply or require substantial revision and modification.   We are too interconnected in today’s day and age for the sort of overt and covert tit-for-tat actions, political intrigues, and behind-the-scenes geopolitical games and calculations which characterized all previous eras, including the Cold War era and the pre-internet business period.    

We are no longer isolated from the rest of the world.   We are no longer living in an era wherein each country's population was held captive and isolated from the rest of the world by a smorgasbord of benevolent to lightly benevolent, absolutely corrupt to mildly corrupt, most repressive to lightly oppressive, and tyrannical to democratic "dictatorships."   You will notice one characteristic that they all share in common, regardless of the degree or extent of their leanings, is the word "dictatorship."     

Dictatorship is the essence of every single form of governance since time immemorial - having a small group of people dictate to others a form and pattern of conduct and behavior.   Those who are not exempt from playing by the rules and do play by the rules are left alone, and those who rebel against their form of government and rulers - or their rulers or masters’ dictates - are dealt with through various forms of "tyranny, oppression and repression," some of which ultimately result in the loss of life.   And that, friends and colleagues, is a fact of life, no matter how much we try to sugarcoat or vilify any particular government or form of governance.

Now we all have access to the truth.    Our leaders can no longer get away with feeding us nothing but lies, omissions, distortions, and half-baked truths; and then expect us to believe them.   They can no longer cause mayhem; engineer total chaos and destruction at home, in their backyard or around the world; and then expect us to believe that they are fighting for freedom and democracy at home or around the world, in our name and for our way of life.

They can no longer credibly claim that they are trying to protect us from these evil terrorists or regimes (that they had-or still have-a part in creating, funding, arming, and/or supporting  in the first place); people or entities who are insane and bloodthirsty and want nothing to do but kill us,  either for absolutely no reason at all or because of some extreme, perverted ideology or version of religious fundamentalism.

Today we all have access to the truth IF WE SO DESIRE although most of us are too busy trying to survive or make a living to even care.   Today, the truth is a powerful weapon that an enemy country can deploy against their adversary; and that truth is no longer confined to the domain of the powers-that-be, secret shadow governments, secret civilizations operating in tandem with human civilization, ultra secret societies, and shadow intelligence groups within intelligence agencies operating in total secrecy.

Today we no longer have to rely on a totally discredited global mainstream media to insult our intelligence and feed us nothing but bullshit.    

For those of us who care, the internet makes possible the dissemination of all versions of truth, including the real truth, in a flash second.   It allows us to quickly identify, recognize, or be alerted to "false flag operations," lies and omissions,  distortions, concealment, blatant or subtle propaganda; ultra sophisticated information warfare, psychological operations,  mind control and mind manipulation operations, human compromise operations; black box projects, overt and covert sinister operations;  internal and external state-sponsored clandestine operations, internal destabilization efforts, color revolutions,  subversion and assassinations; and the blatant corruption of business, the political process, and all levels of the legislative, executive and judicial branches of government.  

Thus, it can be said with a reliable degree of certainty and accuracy that the internet leaves very little place for scoundrels and malfeasants to hide.

However, that being said, what we do with that truth (and capability) is a completely different matter. And therein lies the quandary that we all face - both purveyors and recipients of information (the ruling class and working class, respectively).  

The internet makes the ruling class happier than a pig in mud.   As for the ruling class :::: today’s current leaders :::: they view the internet’s capability with a tremendous amount of euphoria. It provides them with the capability to continue to do “more of the same” at an exponential level and on a global scale - subject to the limits of current technology.    As the old saying goes, “absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

Today’s current leaders have no understanding or appreciation for the “judicious use of power” whose basic tenet dictates that “just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.”   

But the internet is a double-edged sword.   Therein lies the danger.   Why is that, you might ask? That’s because when our leaders’ activities are revealed, the breadth and scope of the information revealed is such that it also reverberates exponentially and on a global scale (in every single nook and cranny throughout the world); cannot be locally contained; and it brings about a resulting fury which takes a very long time to contain, if ever.    

Today’s “town criers” can no longer be dismissed outright.   Whereas, in the past, the local “town criers” of the world could easily be dismissed, marginalized, coerced, human compromised, blackmailed, intimidated, silenced, incarcerated in a mental or penal institution, or even “eliminated” in the name of national security or other criminal and unjust pretense; however, in today’s day and age, the sheer number of  these town criers and their global visibility makes it almost impossible to outright dismiss them all, put them all in jail,  or “kill them all.”
   
The old ways of dealing with those who dared to defy the status quo (e.g., death under mysterious circumstances, etc.) can no longer be hidden from the rest of the world.

Responding with more sophisticated “disinformation” campaigns and “false flag” operations through the global mainstream media is no longer a 100% effective option since the audience that these town criers appeal to obtains their news from “alternative media.” That audience considers global mainstream media a nefarious tool of corrupt leaders which does nothing but “regurgitate” propaganda and promote dumbed-down content and massive mind control, mind manipulation, and disinformation campaigns.

It is no longer a question of “where there is smoke, there is fire.”  The "informed or enlightened" working class can see the “raging forest fire” and you can’t tell them it’s all in their mind or it’s nothing serious - just a little bit of smoke that will quickly die out on its own.    

Lack of Credibility Is a Global Security Issue

Most importantly, the resulting damage to the credibility of ALL institutions:::and their leaders::: worldwide makes it almost impossible to govern in today’s day and age.    This credibility gap has set the stage for others (patriots, heroes, and principled individuals) to make a valiant attempt to cure today’s ills; or, at the very least, attempt to fill the current moral and leadership void that exists through whatever means they may have at their disposal.    

This list of past and present patriots, heroes, and principled individuals includes, however is not limited, to the following:

• Anonymous, Veterans Today, Project Camelot, Kerry Lynn Cassidy
• Thomas Andrews Drake, Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning  
• Simon Poncelet, Russ Tice, William Binney, Al Bielek, Paul Hellyer
• Laura Magdalene Eisenhower, Phil Schneider, Gordon Duff, Jim Dean
• Larry Nichols, Vytautas Pociunas, Clive Ponting, Alison L. Des Forges
• Ron Rummel, Cathy Massiter, John O'Neil, Mordechai Vanunu
• Mark Whitacre, Marc Dutroux, Jean-Paul Taminiau, Ron Johnson, Andre Cicolella
• Jeffrey Wigand, Michael Ruppert, Dean Warwick, John Kiriakou
• Kenneth Johannemann, Frederic Whitehurst, Linda Tripp, Anna Konjevoda
• Danny Jowenko, Deck Slayton, Paul van Buitenen,  Fabienne Jaupart
• Francois Reyskens, Janet Howard, Karen Kwiatkowski, Stanley Kubrick
• Joseph Nacchio, Jesselyn Radack, Sibel Edmonds, Secretary of Defense James Vincent Forrestal
• Joseph Wilson,  Hunter S. Thompson, Joe Darby,  Chris van der Werken, John Todd
• Samuel Provance, Philip Marshall, Shawn Carpenter, Mark Klein,  Richard M. Bowen III 
• Gina Pardaens-Bernaer, Justin Hopson, Karla Turner, Michael H. Doran, Danny Casolaro 
• Anat Kamm, Wendell Potter, Paul Wellstone, John Kopchinski, Linda Almonte, John Lear 
• Robert Dean, Bob Lazar, Milton William (Bill) Cooper, Christopher Landis, Larry Warren 
• Dr. J. Alan Hynek, Beverly Eckert, Major Donald E. Keyhoe, Wendy Burlingame 
• Dr. James E. McDonald, Gordon Cooper, Salvatore Princiotta, Edgar Mitchell 
• Major Jesse Marcel Sr., Barry Jennings, Jose Steppe, Grégory Antipine, Jean-Jacques Feront  
• and thousands, if not millions, more.  

The solutions to today’s ills only give us “more of the same.”  Regardless of where in the world we happen to be, this credibility gap represents a major national security issue and a serious threat to our way of life.  That’s because our current global political system (this farcical “democratic” system of government) only invites “more of the same” to fill the huge credibility void that this succession of current and previous leaders has created over the years.   

That “more of the same” includes:    

• "Demagogues, Vultures, Bottom-Feeders, and Messianic Figures” of all stripes and persuasions. After all, they themselves as well as their intended victims believe that they couldn’t possibly be any worse than these leaders they want to replace or are replacing. 
• Idealists with a Utopian Vision of the World whose governing principles and practices are the equivalent of trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. A lesson that Karl Marx’s followers and thousands of others before him throughout the history of mankind have already learned.
• More Rabid “Democracy” Ideologues from all stripes and persuasions, spanning a myriad number of political parties across the globe; who fit into the category of :::: cowards, bullies, oppressors, dictators, mass murderers :::: intellectual midgets, ideological cowards ::::  puppet leaders who are slaves to masters of the new world order,  vassals without a shred of conscience or dignity :::: aggressors who only prey on the weak and defenseless, warmongers, tyrants :::: unprincipled leaders, pragmatic scoundrels, liars and thieves and opportunists and traitors “bought and paid for” by special interests and secret societies :::: and mind control and manipulation experts  - all of them dressed in “democracy” clothing; and last but not least,
• Well-meaning and Highly Competent Technocrats and Visionaries who understand the problem, truly believe they can make a difference from within,  seek and obtain a mandate to make the necessary reforms, and make an attempt in that direction; until they finally come face to face with the devil himself and his pitchfork, who gives them an ultimatum: “you either resign, join us or suffer the fate of all who have come before you.”  

The sort of ultimatum which, for the most part, results in a grudging acceptance of the invitation to join.                   

Principled Leaders allow us to make a paradigm shift from today’s “swamp” mentality.   And that is the reason why we, the world over, always wind up with different leaders but the same old crap:   a very dysfunctional and “exceptional” system built on “smoke and mirrors,” nowhere near grounded in any sort of reality, always going around in a perpetual circle.  

Therefore, the solution does not lie in “more of the same.” Instead, it should entail a total and radical departure from the “sort of mentality” which keeps producing the “current swamp” that we all live in.

Instead of listening to new leaders constantly promising to “clean up the swamp,” let’s instead focus our energies on identifying and changing the mentality that produces the swamp in the first place.  And that, friends and colleagues, is the promise of “Principled Leadership Organizations” and “Principled Leaders.”

And What Does “Principled Leaders” Have Anything to Do With Virtual Organization Management?

To those of you who are familiar with my passion for--more like fanatical obsession with--virtual organization management, I am sure you must be wondering what the hell any of this has to do with virtual organization management.    The answer is, everything.

All Bona Fide Virtual Organizations Are Principled Leadership Organizations

That’s because the virtual organization management discipline mandates that ALL virtual organizations must be “principled leadership organizations” led by “principled leaders.”   Absent meeting that fundamental requirement, a so-called virtual organization shall be deemed to be a “quasi- or pseudo-virtual organization.”  

  

No room for business as usual in the New Virtual Organization World.  The point being, it’s critical that :::: as people and organizations form “virtual organizations” and reach that critical mass which will herald the arrival of the New Virtual Organization World era :::: we do not simply transfer (or virtualize) all the garbage, evils, and “swamp mentality” which currently pervade in and characterize the completely dysfunctional system we now have in the brick-and-mortar world :::: to the New Virtual Organization World. 

The New Virtual Organization World represents an opportunity for all of us to learn from our brick-and-mortar world mistakes and finally get it right.  It is a golden opportunity for all of us to break free from our primitive ancestors, their primal fears, and their barbaric and savage instincts.   Business as usual is no longer an option.     

In Conclusion

I realize that becoming a “Principled Leader” is not like waving a magic wand, turning on a switch, getting a degree, or taking a course and getting a certificate.   If it were that easy, the world would certainly have been a much better place many eons ago.   Instead, it is a lifetime of work in progress, trying to improve yourself on a::::24 hours a day / 365 days a year::::basis, and keeping vigilant at every turn and fork on the road.   

But make no mistake about it - this is a battle worth fighting for because the stakes are higher than ever for the future of our planet and mankind, and our progeny expects no less from us. The examples that we trace today will be felt for millennia to come - just as today we are all inheritors of the legacy of today's primitive and barbaric savages, primitive apes, Neanderthals, Denisovans, troglodytes, and our extra-terrestrial ancestors.
