The Director With 20 Heads

Analyze the connection between perception and reality, defining for yourself a style of leadership with continuous highlighting trends of the specific aspects of your personality.

It all started out as a joke. In 1928, the institute was located in the building of the former restaurant "Iar". The student classroom from the first class of directing was the former hall of mirrors. The bell had run and the students eagerly awaited their professor whom they knew only from photos. The door opened and the professor entered. The multiple mirrors reflected Eisenstein’s close-up countless times. The professor smiled: "You are truly lucky: as you can see, you’ll not have only one teacher, but a bunch ! "

Later, Eisenstein was called the "director with 20 heads". This time, however, it was not merely an allusion to the game of mirrors, but to his method of teaching: the professor thought his classes along with the minds of his 20 students. *

Must your transformation be understood as a lesson that your own self transmits to you in the equation of a superiority that decides how you convey a certain concept?

An artist who knows how to turn artistic creation into a self-transformation is a director who knows how to stage the episode of a spectacular intervention in the reality of the surrounding world, through an exciting story of courage, determination and compromise. The limits of performance development, respecting the share of experience points that influence how you present yourself to others, require to be overcome by the challenge of, at times, finding yourself in the position of being someone else, in the most exciting and uplifting dimensions of a multiplied reality.

This type of reality that occurs in leadership through a sort of broad introspection that allows you to see mistakes and errors, enabling approaches to personal identity from different angles, are taken at different levels, depending on the close-up you find yourself in.

The close-up represents the sum of partial identities, therefore, something that doesn’t follow the patterns and current norms of representations, having the tendency of accentuating, of comparing and battling between themselves to obtain an indicator of measuring the degree of variability of professional ascension. It is perhaps the most widely used framework of voluntary relation to the essential element of your authority and, more specifically, to a new hierarchy of values that defines your relationships with others.

You can build the concept of becoming a totally different man presented in terms of a special teaching that encourages the rest of the world to practice it only if the idea of your value is an extension of one’s own personality into a more widely used concept of the “close-up” term.

The close-up that validates you as a director-artist is the dimension of the theme called “memory” that you expose in front of a majority able to self-declare as belonging to a reality that continues to reinvent itself.

This memory should not be judged by the active manifestation of the personal freedom to think, feel and act according to individual needs, inclinations, interests, capabilities and possibilities, but by how you prove your added value – the fact of being more than an effect or a cause, but a whole of more manifestations, activities, phenomena and events meant to mark a certain superiority.

Memory is the ultimate term of a long evolution, of a vast experience of life, work, culture and creativity, which validates itself as a whole that has included within it an endless string of events and values.

Your transformation must be understood as a form of eliminating identities that disguise themselves or as a lesson your own self transmits to you to remind you of who you truly are in the field of a self-analysis, of self-credibility. Bot also in the field of a deep relationship with everything you do not yet know about yourself or with what you want to be going into resonance with others.

A leader constantly strengthens his capacity to value things, to be their measure.

Leadership is a vast field in which the man who imposes himself with authority in front of others must be very well understood. But individual perception is always different. Seeking to understand how your ideas are perceives by others, you get to imagine yourself in their place, relying on a good knowledge of human reason, in close correlation with each and everyone’s education and way of thinking.

This helps you make a clear distinction between the way in which you are understood and the acceptance conditioned by the posture imposed by the authority recognized by others. It is a way of discovering yourself in the face of what is evident or in the face of what you make others believe.

The lesson your own self transmits to you in the equation of superiority is that you can become more than just a thinking entity, you can become a whole with more successes, on many levels, only if you realize that the opinions of others do not matter at all, or when you realize that what you have to offer them is more than what they are willing to offer you.

The Director With 20 Heads highlights how leadership is reflected in the consciousness of others, but also a way of self-control to keep your identity intact. Depending on the reality you discover in the thinking of others you will be able to construct new approaches of personal and professional development. And especially through an objective appreciation of your position of "monopoly" over other forms of leadership and training, not only through knowledge and reflection on human nature.
