SummaryThe Parable of the Magnet
Any piece of iron can become a magnet. Most do
not live up to their potential because
their elemental dipoles are not aligned.
25
SummaryThe Parable of the Magnet
To make any piece of iron a magnet, these
elemental dipoles are aligned in a N-S direction
by rhythmic stroking employing a permanent magnet.
S
Transform
Align Optimize

26
SummaryThe Parable of the Magnet
The new magnet has a sense of direction.
N
S
It has long range order - the ability
to attract to itself iron pieces from a distance.
Every organisation has this potential if it
aligns itself.
