Principles of Power can be related to as an advanced Coaching Handbook for Leaders. If you are a leader, an aspiring leader, a coach, consultant, or program facilitator, this book is designed for you. The material is delivered inside of a modern leadership context of service and contribution. Eric features many partnerships in Principles of Power. His inclusion of useful quotes from Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, Werner Erhard, Nassim Taleb, Seth Godin, and many other leaders attests to the thinking and the research that went into the writing of this book. It is now undeniable that the understanding and implementation of powerful Listening, authentic Relationship, and a recognizable Permission to Lead, are cardinal distinctions of effective leadership. The word, ’cardinal’ has a Latin root and means ‘hinge’ – like a hinge on a gate. So, like a hinge, cardinal distinctions are connected to every nuance of leadership. You will see these distinctions in action in the background of Eric’s many leadership conversations. Authentic Relationship, for example, is essential to the effectiveness and empowerment of the participants and the leader. If authentic Relationship is missing, any outcome or result devolves to the result of domination or force, and is not an outcome of effective leadership. Consider this: Leadership is granted by the permission of those being led. Take a moment and allow that to sink in.
The job of the leader is that of an environmentalist, providing the space for people to collaborate, flourish, and create. These two different activities, management and leadership are often commingled, especially in business schools and in the workplace. They are distinct and operate under different rules and measures. It’s like Checkers and Chess – Same game board, different games with different rules and outcomes. Disentangling and distinguishing the two arenas of activity grants power to both managers and leaders. So, the fundamental exercise of listening for people’s greatness is in the background of every sentence in this book. And there is much more… Principles of Power is strongly influenced by the transformational work of Werner Erhard. Much of the author’s thinking is also grounded in the classic distinctions of Tribal Leadership and the thinking of Warren Buffett and his partner, Charlie Munger. Those, plus Eric’s own extensive practical experience renders Principles of Power to be an extremely useful ‘go-to’ resource, filled with useful, implementable information, sprinkled liberally with memorable quotations from intelligent diverse sources – all apt and worth adding to YOUR leadership lexicon."

The play was due to be put on the strand and was going to be sponsored by a fancy cereal made by Sons Relax whom were based in a Cornish town.
Cryptic Cross on the way to the rehearsal viewed the ducks ;on had a bad wing and he could see its burden and being who he was could not stand for it so he jumped into the park pond to rescue the bird who made a a drive for near by thistles the proud flower of Scotland.
Cryptic Cross decided to give the play a miss for it was no Shakespeare so he went home and decided to go back to being a simple Arbiter who owned some cracked Welsh dishes featuring a penniless king trying to get a vote held in a Spanish court he was going to send pictures to a dealer to find its worth but it slipped from his hand and not being nimble it left time which always seems to slow down crash on the floor into tiny pieces.

CRYPTIC CROSS ADVENTURE S BY MARK ANTONY RAINES
Cryptic Cross is a person who loves to see the world he lives in as black and white and whenever he comes across a problem he goes up and down and across to solve it.
Cryptic Cross has many bizarre adventures and has decided to write them down for you dear reader entertainment.
Cryptic Cross frist real job was be an assistant to the film minster who he was in a taxi to go check out a new public information film .
The film was about dance in Ireland and how it looked simple but was complicated and the popularity of the dance was on the increase among the younger generation.
But a group of OAPs lead by a man called Norm wanted to stop the music.
So it was up to me to break ice so he both ended on a trip to Paris were we consumed litre3 of cheap wine and ended up too sozzled too speak.
We returned to good old England were Cryptic Cross was run through the coals for being too extravagant and I was the ridicule of said office which hit me like a cricket ball going for a six.
So I left that job and found out in the national papers I had in fact gone to the wrong film and it was a government mistake as I was meant to go to a public information film about how to the government does not make mistakes it was computer error.
Cryptic Cross feeling a little down decided to treat himself to a frist class dine and drink included.
But instead ended up watching a film on Netflix eating a TV dinner the film turned out to be more bizarre than his day as it was about a rabbit who was wounded for an event due to a group of loyal tories beat him finally in a race only for them to be undone by a lone French composer who won the prize to go to Round University with his cat and then a party broke out which was interrupted by Major Rupees who ordered this film was back to front and the opposite to him militarily ;Cryptic Cross gave in a thumbs down and realised he had wasted two hours of his life for nothing.
That's the end of this adventure more to come soon.
Thanks for reading
Cryptic Cross.

Walpurgis Night
In German folklore, though, Walpurgis Night is particularly associated with the tradition that witches gathered from across the land for a great sabbat on the top of the Blocksberg (now Brocken), a summit in the Harz Mountains of central Germany. This great witches’ meeting may have been much depicted in nineteenth- and twentieth-century art and literature, but look closely at the early-modern witch trial records, and one finds little evidence for it. From the hundreds of confessions, most produced under torture, it is clear that sabbats were thought to take place at any time of the year and not Walpurgis Night in particular. From the records we also find that nocturnal sabbats were believed as likely to take place in clearings and meadows as on mountain tops.
It was in 1668 that the Walpurgis Sabbath was first firmly located at the Brocken in a weighty tome about the history and geography of the mountain and the region, called The Blocksberg Performance by Johannes Präetorius. It included an illustration of orgiastic celebrations taking place around the mountain top. But the spread of the archetypal Walpurgis Night sabbat on the Brocken owes much to the creative mind of the German philosopher and poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832). He drew upon Präetorius’s book for his famous play Faust (1808), in which he depicts the legendary sixteenth-century magician and Mephistopheles travelling to the summit of the Brocken, accompanied by witches and demons. The witches strike up a chorus:
“Witches bound for the Brocken are we,
The stubble is yellow, the new grain is green.
All our number will gather there,
And You-Know-Who will take the chair.
So we race on over hedges and ditches,
The he-goats stink and so do the witches.”
Faust later reflects:
“It seems, forsooth, a little strange,
When we the Brocken came to range,
And this Walpurgis night to see,
That we should quit this company.”
PLANT POWER BY MARK ANTONY RAINES
What if man could grow man from plants in order to help the future economic climate.
Such a man is Professor Horace who had invited his friend to be the first to see his newest creation.
The professor showed him a bag of white powder his friend just laughed until the professor asked him to look at the white powder more carefully under a powerful microscope.
As his friend looked he was shocked the powder was in fact seeds but the seeds were in human form.
His friend steps back in awe and finds it incredible the professor tells him he was inspired by the legend of cadmus as he was a dragon who planted his teeth in the ground to grow more of its kind.
The professor then tell s his friend he has created some plants in his chemical gardens and then thier both walk towards them.
Oh my god I can t believe what I am seeing rows of plants in each a human form says Fenwick the professor friend.
Ah that is nothing I have in a further room fully active plant men who never get tired are powerful and aggressive and cannot be harmed by bullets says the professor.
But why this is wrong I insist you put a stop to this madness says Fenwick.
Imagine an unstoppable army who could deal with the evils of the world or help and economical needs thier could do all the work whilst we sit back in leisure.
So just as I was going to refuse funding this insanely bizarre project fate intervened for as a I left the building it blew up never to see the light of day.
On the remains of the site was a bag inside the bag was white powder but this time it was not plant man but a certain million tiny seeds of Professor Horace awaiting one day to be part of the world.
