What Is Originicity?
Originicity is the leadership capacity to originate – to bring into being.At the core is the capacity to originate new ideas and perspectives, to solve problems with ingenuity.
Originicity requires a letting go of the past, a detachment from limiting assumptions and even deeper personal or shared cultural illusions regarding the true nature of reality.
At the same time, Originicity is also a methodology and a discipline for cultivating leadership capacity. The approach is based on recent scientific research regarding intelligence and the neuro-plasticity of the brain. The premise is that competencies once thought to be hard wired can in fact be cultivated. The skills and techniques have roots Buddhist meditation, the same past that led the Buddha to see the reality of Dependent Origination.
Ultimately, every act of leadership is an act of origination.
"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.“ Albert Einstein
