Leadership 1. The manager prepared to help people help people to be creative. She did this by being present. First, she thought of the beginning of the idea. Second, she thought of the middle of the idea. Third, she thought of the end of the idea. In this way, the manager prepared to help people help people to be creative by being present. 2. The manager prepared to create a new skill. He did this by verifying the tradesman’s tradesmanship skills. First, he read the sentence in the letter, “Yours sincerely, Lucian”. Second, he thought of a new way of writing this, “Thank you, Lucian”. * Third, he wrote this in a letter to the same person. In this way, the manager prepared to create a new skill by verifying the tradesman’s tradesmanship skills. 3. I prepared to lead a happy life. I did this by taking the daffodil from the circus cow’s back. First, I observed when the circus cow was standing still. Second, I stood beside the circus cow. Third, I removed the daffodil from a pocket attached to the circus cow’s back. In this way, I prepared to lead a happy life by taking the daffodil from the circus cow’s back. 4. I untwisted the beetle’s legs from the chocolate 5. I prepared for the model Nervous system to function properly. I did this by starting to compute fewer, higher quality computations using the model brain. First, I computed a computation once every 1 second. Second, I computed a computation once every 2 seconds. Third, I computed a computation once every 4 seconds. In this way, I prepared for the model Nervous system to function properly by starting to compute fewer, higher quality computations using the model brain. 6. I prepared for the model Circulatory system to function properly. I did this by starting to pump liquid through the model heart more slowly. First, I expanded the model heart to suck in the liquid and contracted it to pump the liquid out every 1 second. Second, I expanded the model heart to suck in the liquid and contracted it to pump the liquid out every 2 seconds. Third, I expanded the model heart to suck in the liquid and contracted it to pump the liquid out every 4 seconds. In this way, I prepared for the model Circulatory system to function properly by starting to pump liquid through the model heart more slowly. 7. I prepared for the model Respiratory system to function properly. I did this by expanding the model lungs by contracting the model diaphragm more slowly. First, I expanded the model lungs by contracting the model diaphragm every 5 seconds. Second, I expanded the model lungs by contracting the model diaphragm every 10 seconds. Third, I expanded the model lungs by contracting the model diaphragm every 20 seconds. I prepared for the model Respiratory system to function properly by expanding the model lungs by contracting the model diaphragm more slowly. 8. I prepared for the model Digestive system to function properly. I did this by churning the food with the model stomach more slowly. First, I churned the food with the model stomach every 1 second. Second, I churned the food with the model stomach every 2 seconds. Third, I churned the food with the model stomach every 4 seconds. In this way, I prepared for the model Digestive system to function properly by churning the food with the model stomach more slowly. 9. I prepared to use my model muscles. I did this by tying the strings (like glucose molecules) to make a quipu (like the glycogen molecule with 30,000 glucose units) in the model liver more slowly. First, I tied the strings to make a quipu with 3 strings attached in the model liver approximately every 1 second. Second, I tied the strings to make a quipu with 3 strings attached in the model liver approximately every 2 seconds. Third, I tied the strings to make a quipu with 3 strings attached in the model liver approximately every 4 seconds. In this way, I prepared to use my model muscles by tying the strings (like glucose molecules) to make a quipu (like the glycogen molecule with 30,000 glucose units) in the model liver more slowly. 10. I prepared to help the small intestine break down carbohydrates, lipids and proteins, where all body parts referred to are models. I did this by releasing marbles (representing digestive enzymes) from my model pancreas more slowly. First, I released marbles from my model pancreas every 1 second. Second, I released marbles from my model pancreas every 2 seconds. Third, I released marbles from my model pancreas every 4 seconds. In this way, I prepared to help the small intestine break down carbohydrates, lipids and proteins by releasing marbles (representing digestive enzymes) from my model pancreas more slowly. 11. I prepared to achieve normal blood glucose levels using glucagon if I had low blood glucose and insulin if I had high blood glucose, where all body parts referred to are models. I did this by releasing marbles (representing glucagon or insulin) from my model pancreas (from my alpha or beta cells, respectively) more slowly. First, I released either a black or white marble from my model pancreas every 1 second. Second, I released a marble of this shade from my model pancreas every 2 seconds. Third, I released a marble of this shade from my model pancreas every 4 seconds. In this way, I prepared to achieve normal blood glucose levels using glucagon if I had low blood glucose and insulin if I had high blood glucose by releasing marbles (representing glucagon or insulin) from my model pancreas (from my alpha or beta cells, respectively) more slowly. 12. I prepared to give my body enough nutrients, where all body parts referred to are models. I did this by squishing small chunks of food through the small intestine model more slowly. First, I squished a chunk of food through the sieve every 1 second. Second, I squished a chunk of food through the sieve every 2 seconds. Third, I squished a chunk of food through the sieve every 4 seconds. In this way, I prepared to give my body enough nutrients by squishing small chunks of food through the small intestine model more slowly. 13. I prepared to give my body enough water. I did this by sieving water through my large intestine model more slowly. First, I sieved water through the sieve every 1 second. Second, I sieved water through the sieve every 2 seconds. Third, I sieved water through the sieve every 4 seconds. In this way, I prepared to give my body enough water by sieving water through my large intestine model more slowly. 14. I prepared for the model Urinary system to function properly. I did this by sieving liquid (like the metabolites to be urinated) through a sieve (like a model Loop of Henle in the model kidney) into water (making the urine-like liquid) more slowly. First, I sieved liquid through the sieve every 1 second. Second, I sieved liquid through the sieve every 2 seconds. Third, I sieved liquid through the sieve every 4 seconds. In this way, I prepared for the model Urinary system to function properly by sieving liquid (like the metabolites to be urinated) through a sieve (like a model Loop of Henle in the model kidney) into water (making the urine-like liquid) more slowly.
