Hello, Mr. Rudnick. 1.  You wrote, "...I identified a couple traits this model has that I didn't identify before, specifically in this case a very effective strategy for public speaking and a good way of dealing with interviews, to ensure that he gets publicity, and gets the ideas he wants into print." Do you want to achieve the results you could by using: - a very effective strategy for public speaking - a good way of dealing with interviews, to ensure: - - you get publicity - - you get the ideas you want into print? 2.  You wrote, "What I could tell was this: he imagined a complex system, (for example the solar system), and visualized the individual elements each moving separately according to their own schedule... then he identified the most pivotal element in the system, the element which, if varied, would have a threshold effect on the rest of the system, or parts of the system. This is how he chooses what projects to be involved in, by what he thinks is pivotal to the system he’s trying to affect." Do you know that the model did not have a pedagogical intention when he presented how he chooses to involve himself in a project?  He might have developed his presentation to teach other people to think the way he does.  The process he described might be different than how he actually chooses projects.  You can verify how he chooses projects by relying on in-person unconscious uptake of his choose_project behaviors. 3.  You wrote, "My experience with the live model (a successful executive I was around at the time), was almost identical, except that the negative response was not as strong." I am impressed by your commitment to your research effort.  Were you embarassed to be seen imitating the executive's behaviors around him or her?  You have commitment to rely on unconscious uptake of your source model's behavior, because performing that unconscious uptake requires that you establish and maintain a personal relationship with the source model under unusual working conditions. Congratulations on your research work, and please post again when you have further results to share with guests of the "Whispering In The Wind" forum.  -nj
