- Hi Tom,
- Your request got me thinking: Have you ever seen those ads for the
- Anthony Robbins' "Unlimited Power" program? Also, there's another
- self-help program out called "Investment in Excellence" by Louis
- Tice. I have only followed these programs with passing interest or
- through the experience of others. I haven't been able to look into
- these programs in depth. I just remember thinking that the reasons
- why these particular programs were more effective than others were
- because they seemed to incorporate PCT principles; that is, they
- seemed to focus on affecting perception as a by-product of creating
- or programming in a set of healthy and constructive internal
- reference signals for an individual to operate with.
-
- In the business world there is Stephen Covey and "Seven Habits..."
- and "Principle-Centered Leadership". Also, you'll find an
- undercurrent of PCT in Deming's management philosophy; I finally got
- around to reading Dag Forssell's excellent "Observations,
- Interpretations, Commentary [on Deming]" -- (By the way, Dag, I have
- some minor editing suggestions for the piece I will forward by snail
- mail this weekend). But, once again, the reasons why these programs
- are successful seemed to me (and Dag) because they happened to be
- representative of the "common sense" found in PCT.
-
- I hope that is the type of thing your looking for...By the way, even
- though I'm still a "PCT-lightweight", I always enjoy getting through
- your posts.
-
- Regards,
- Ray
