The thing no one tells you:
High-performing teams don't win because they're smarter. Or the hardest working. They win because the field allows information to move.
You can feel it before you can measure it.
And here's what nobody talks about: the field starts with you. Your state walks into the room before your strategy does.
Some teams have density. Signal clarity. Coherence. Others feel fragmented. Noisy. Like everyone's transmitting on different frequencies.
Most leaders optimize for the wrong things.
Pipeline metrics. Activity dashboards. Conversion rates.
None of them measure what matters.
You can't put collective intelligence on a spreadsheet. You can't track field quality in Salesforce.
So we optimize what we can measure and wonder why results don't follow.
I'm done wondering.
I'm working through it instead.
With Dr. Carlos Warter, physician, consciousness explorer, 50 years studying how human systems evolve, we're writing a book (Park Press, spring 2027).
Field Notes is where I document what I'm learning while I'm learning it.
Two pieces monthly. No frameworks. No fluff. Just observations from the intersection of business leadership and consciousness exploration.
