BRONXVILLE, N.Y., Oct. 20, 2009 — The Gilchrist Institute for the Achievement Sciences, a behavioral sciences think tank, has developed a methodology for implementing the “Laws of Potential” in decision-making and strategic issues.
The Laws of Potential are defined by absolute principles found universally. They describe how human potential can be converted into understanding and achievement. Dr. Robert Flower, Director of the Gilchrist Institute, states, “We have been investigating these principles since 1981 and found that everywhere we looked - the physical sciences, philosophy, behavioral sciences, etc. - the Laws of Potential provide a construct for understanding human behavior and decision making.”
The Laws of Potential encompass three broad categories: Creative, Organizational and Functional. The three categories contain the 13 principles of human achievement.
According to Dr. Flower, “Achievement of potential always contains these 13 principles. Accordingly, we were able to establish a systems algorithm that we have found to be impeccably pure and totally accurate.”
For the past several years, the Gilchrist Institute for the Achievement Sciences has utilized the Laws of Potential to detect political and economic inconsistencies and erroneous conclusions. For example, Dr. Flower’s discussion of “Leveling the Playing Field” (in his blog at http://www.N2L.typepad.com) describes two ways to accomplish parity: take from the top and give to the bottom, or show the bottom how to get to the top. “In terms of the Laws of Potential,” says Dr. Flower, “the proper path is the latter. Why? Because ‘taking from’ equates to restriction of potential while ‘giving to’ translates into lack of development of potential.”
ABOUT THE GILCHRIST INSTITUTE FOR THE ACHIEVEMENT SCIENCES:
