A VUCA Future Today more than ever, the technological, market, geopolitical, social and economic realities of contemporary life constitute unprecedented levels of stress for individuals and organizations in the Oil & Gas Industry. For more and more of us the environment is increasingly VUCA : Volatile Uncertain Complex Ambiguous
Surviving VUCA It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent it is the one most responsive to change. Charles Darwin 1809-1882 9

Understanding SUPERPERFORMANCE
What is Superperformance? Superperformance is operationally defined as peer outperformance sustained over time.
Deming Profound Knowledge Systems Knowledge Variation Psychology
The Superperformance Formula P C SP
8 Simple Rules 1. Process x Culture = Superperformance. Superperformers leverage the unlimited potential in this core interaction. 2. Superperformers superperform over time. Superperformance is a second-order steady state sustained over time. 3. The paradigm shift of Superperformance is from machine to organism. Organizations are living, complex adaptive systems, not machines. 4. Superperformance is created by super management and super leadership. In superperforming organizations, management and leadership act as the left and right brain of the organization. 5. Superperformers transform flow. Process optimization is flow optimization. 6. Superperformers unleash passion. Culture optimization is liberating the superhero inside every person. 7. Superperformance requires metamorphosis. The shift to Superperformance requires a critical phase transition, trading old paradigms and habits for new paradigms and habits. 8. Superperformers oscillate to continue superperforming. Because they are polar-complements, process and culture live in natural tension, eternally shifting back and forth between two poles.

Electromagnetism
Faraday s Electromagnetism I was at first almost frightened when I saw such mathematical force made to bear upon the subject, and then wondered to see that the subject stood it so well. Michael Faraday, Letter to James Clerk Maxell (25 March 1857), commenting on Maxwell's paper titled "On Faraday's Lines of Force
Bohr s Particle-Wave Duality
The Pattern in Biology... My mouth fell open and my heart began to race. - James Watson, Nobel Prize for Discovery of DNA Molecule, about his reaction at first sight of Photo 51

Eastern Seeking Harmony
The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth. Niels Bohr, Physicist Father of Quantum Mechanics On the Complementarity Principle

Background: Conscious Capitalism Movement Triple Bottom Line People Planet Profit
Servant Leadership by Greenleaf The servant-leader is servant first It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. That person is sharply different from one who is leader first, perhaps because of the need to assuage an unusual power drive or to acquire material possessions The leader-first and the servant-first are two extreme types.
Servant Leadership by Greenleaf The difference manifests itself in the care taken by the servant-first to make sure that other people s highest priority needs are being served. The best test, and difficult to administer, is: Do those served grow as persons? Do they, while being served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become servants?
