POLITICAL COACHING:

Self-Actualizing Politics and Politicians

Here's a revolutionary thought- Suppose we looked at politics through the
lens of Self-Actualization Psychology?  If we did, what would we see?  

           How would politics look and how would that lead to new ways of
handling politics?

           What would people feel about politics if they shifted their
perspective to that informed by the bright-side psychology?

           What would this mean for politicians in terms of how they
operate?

These questions highlight a new book on politics and political coaching and
suggest the radicalness of this perspective.  Never before has there been an
entire book devoted to looking at politics exclusively from
Self-Actualization Psychology.  That makes Political Coaching an entirely
new perspective and one that leads to re-thinking most of what we think we
know about "politics."  Ready for a paradigm shift?  You will never think
about politics in the same way.

The shift to viewing politics through the Self-Actualization Psychology lens
enables us to begin exploring what is potentially possible for us humans in
our homes, groups, organizations, cities, and countries.  Until now, the
great majority of works on politics starts from inadequate assumptions.
They start from a false psychology.  They start from the assumption that
people are essentially animals in how they work together, communicate,
cooperate, and set up rules, laws, and constitutions for governing group
life.  They are irresponsible, untrustworthy, liars, cheats, thieves, and
the only way to manage them is by the control of fear and threat.
Governance depends on "command and control" by dictators and by tyranny.

But there's another psychology.  Maslow's work on the hierarchy of needs led
Douglas McGregor to develop Theory X and Theory Y managers and leaders in
his 1960 book, The Human Enterprise.  Some leaders operate from the idea
that the sole needs and drives of people are the lower deficiency needs
(Theory X).  Other leaders operate from the idea that there is in people
higher needs and drives- the need to actualize the highest and best (beauty,
meaning, justice, contribution, love, responsibility, etc.).  It is this
distinction that began a paradigm shift in business which continues to this
day.

What if we apply the same psychology to politics?  What if we begin
distinguishing Theory X Politics and from Theory Y Politics?  We could then
start imagining and describing what a Self-Actualizing Politician and
Politics would be like.  And that's exactly what I have done in the book,
Political Coaching: Self-Actualizing Politics and Politicians (2015). 

Can politics be a potential for good?  Yes if you believe that there is a
self-actualization drive in people, then it can even be a drive for
greatness.  The question is how to coach people to be more politically
intelligent and to operate from the healthy side of politics.  As
Self-Actualization Psychology starts from the assumption of all people being
equally important-it is fundamentally democratic, against every form of
tyranny, injustice, and inequality.  It assumes that people can be
responsible, self-managing, contributing, etc.

Politics at the office, politics in international corporate organizations,
politics in volunteer organizations, and politics in government can be a
whole lot better than it has been.  Coaching Politics is a book full of the
kind of Coaching Conversations which help people manage political
environments.
