Leadership and Pressure Prompting
Context for the
Audio:
Keep in mind this is not
a professionally created audio, but a real life,
everyday working session that happened to be
recorded. Please be patient and you’ll be
rewarded with content you can’t get anywhere
else.
The context is a week 5
sponsor session, where a person working with a
coach in a
CCS
coaching structure is reporting out their
progress on their scorecard used in the system.
In the sponsor role, my choice is to often teach
people about the models and the paradigms which
are linked to specific behaviors they
demonstrate.
As a sponsor, I have a
fiduciary responsibility to "results" identified
by the client in
the scorecard they create for
the 13 week system. This session is conducted
over
iConvene.
"Design" refers to
the CPR System which is described in my book
CPR For
The Soul: Creating Personal Resilience By
Design
Listen to the Pressure-Prompting Audio.
Here is the article that
appeared in LeadU News:
Leadership and Pressure Prompting
When you Google Pressure
Prompting, you won’t come up with the vital
information I’m going to share with you today. Most
of what I write is ‘prompted’ by my experience with
people everyday. You might say, it’s pressure
prompted. And you would be entirely correct.
What is pressure prompting?
This term is used in the lexicon of the Myers-Brigg
Type Indicator to indicate a facet of preference.
Preference being a pre-wired tension that exists in
us from ensoulment to prefer–when given a
choice–one thing over another.
Therefore, a polarity exists between those people
who have preferences for ‘early-starting’ as it’s
called, or those who are ‘pressure-prompted.’
You might say that pressure-prompted is the opposite
of early-starting and I think you know what that
means?
Now, most (especially those who prefer
early-starting) people call us ‘pressure-prompted’
folks, PROCRASTINATORS. For some reason in the west,
we have this habitual manner of labeling things as ‘pejorative’
when it’s really just a difference.
I would guess about 60% of the population is
pressure-prompted. I can’t say for sure, it’s just a
guess. However, the reason I point this out is to
help you understand there are a LOT of us out there
who prefer to ‘take in information’ to solve
problems, versus ‘decide’ to solve problems.
Yes, it’s really that simple, and it’s not.
People who have an extraverted perceiving function
and it’s this group of types:
ENTP (start with my own first)<G>
ENFP
INFP
INTP
ESTP
ESFP
ISFP
ISTP
All of these types are by nature, pressure prompting
in terms of their preferences for taking in
information to solve problems. Now, all those
introverted types have pressure-prompted
‘lieutenants’ rather than pressure-prompted generals
like the extraverts. However, regardless of
lieutenant (auxillary function in MBTI lingo), or
general (dominant function)… we all pretty much
‘take in information’ to solve problems.

Now, I hope you see, this is a heck of lot different
than being a procrastinator?
We’re not procrastinators, anymore than you
early-starters are neurotic? Ok, maybe I won’t go
that far, but you know what I mean.
To make this real… recently I was working with a
client as their sponsor, which is where I take a
position of PAAR (power, accountability, authority
and responsibility) for someone’s outcomes. In this
short 25 minute session, you can see how
understanding pressure-prompting is vital for
efficient, effective and sustainable leadership.
I hope you enjoy the audio,
