    Thank you for the great research. Your points are well stated. I'd like to learn more on this. I just took a class in transforming learning at The Hay Group and loved it. I look forward to reading more on this.

    After reading your excellent lens about Walt disney which I actually found by accident i just had to come and read this one about Isaac Newton leadership laws and just like the other one it did not disappoint, many thanks.

    Awesome insight into Newtons laws of gravity. I was really impressed in how you meshed these laws into business/leadership variables for success. Big Kudos to Chris for this great post.

    Great Information and even better yet, motivation. Your lens on Newton Laws reminded of a few things that I'd been forgetting. It is so important to be reminded that we have to do something (take action) before we can expect anything in return. Reminds me of the old story of the fireplace reminding the guy with a cold house that he needs to put some wood in the fireplace before he can expect any heat. Thanks again for the great info.

    Great analogy of Newton's laws for todays times. They are really helpful. Thanks a lot.

    I can remember really learning about Newton's laws in an in depth way in my introductory physics class years ago. I have always believed that Newton's laws apply not only to the physical sciences but also social science. I have used some of Newton's laws to explain my own life to people at times and I love how you used it to give a unique perspective on leadership. Great lens!

    It's interesting that Isaac Newton leadership laws apply to physics as well as human behavior. It's especially interesting to note that an object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force, yet a leader or manager or business owner initiates this force themselves.

    I don't think there will ever be a time that I will ceased to be amazed and wonder, every time I see Newton's Second Law, what would like be like now if this man would never have walked this earth? But this, and your presentation of Newton's law just adds an entirely new dimension to it. Outstanding presentation on leadership.

    Isaac Newton was an extraordinary man with brilliant mind his all laws works till date and will also work in future... thanks for reminding Great Man Isaac Newton

    Never been much of a physicist type but you got me hooked when I started reading. There appears to be more to Newton than just solving problems. He had great foresight and you have really done a good job in teaching us a little more about the man.

    Isaac Newton was one of the greatest physicist of all times... You have a great way to present Newton laws on your lens. Keep it like that!

    As a physics major in college, I only wish I had access to this lens in my classroom. Of course back then the pager was still too hot to handle. Nice pics of the gurus.

    Sir Isaac Newton was a brilliant man with an extraordinary mind. I love Newtons first law...so true!
  • LauraChilds Sep 29, 2009 @ 3:58 am | delete
    Wow! This is a very inspirational post and it helped me to understand some of the people in my life who call themselves "essentially lazy". Really, they just need to understand these principles and have a good leader at the helm. I'm going to check out the site you mention below for more insight into this matter. Perhaps I can learn to help others through this inspirational info!

    Love your lenses on business practices and while I prefer the Disney one this one is pretty cool too. Takes a special kind of business mind to take Newton and his laws and apply them to business!
  • onlinecollegepro Sep 28, 2009 @ 5:46 pm | delete
    A very interesting intepretation of Newton's laws applied on human behaviour in a social context. It shows that the physical and mental domains within us and between us are more integrated than we allow ourself to believe.
  • ryanheye Sep 28, 2009 @ 12:58 pm | delete
    A great way to apply Newton's laws with today's management needs. Its pretty insightful and applicable to daily life, especially the 1st law "Things need to be pushed along if they are to change". so true... :)
  • buiecandy Sep 28, 2009 @ 11:43 am | delete
    This is a great lens about Newtons Laws and very applicable to the motivation side of life. You must have spent a little mental energy putting this great lens together.. thanks
  • mmkellis Sep 28, 2009 @ 11:25 am | delete
    Chris, what a great lens! I homeschool and we are studying Isaac Newton this fall. The information here has given me some great ideas on expanding the curriculum. Thanks!

    A great and orignial way to apply Newton's laws on todays management and motivational issues. I'm sure we could start building a new psychological tradition with Newton as the basis. Thanks for a good lens!

    Newtons 2nd law is great. I always loved how they discovered gravity and you can thank Mr Newton for this.
  • profaned08373 Sep 25, 2009 @ 11:32 am | delete
    Fantastic comparison and interpretation of Isaac Newton's laws and leadership. Entrepreneurs and managers should read this.
  • pepys Sep 25, 2009 @ 11:25 am | delete
    I love it. After being in business for many years, and recognizing the needs of a leader I have found your Newton Business Laws very good to teach people. For the Newton's 3rd Law restated I would that famous Einstein quote, which goes something like: Only a madman expects a different result for exactly the same in put (or something to that effect.

    Very cool perspective on leadership. I have not heard of Newton's leadership laws before this

    I've used this concept a lot myself to teach the need for "action" in our lives. Great lens!

    Isaac Newton is the man. He has done a world of good for discovering gravity and being a top notch mathematician...

    Great lens on Isaac Newton. did not know that much about him before reading it .. thanks

    Great interpretation of the Newton's laws. You have remade them for the nowadays. Thanks for the article.
  • bob_g Sep 21, 2009 @ 6:58 pm | delete
    This is the first that I have heard of newtons laws and have to say they make perfect sense whether you look at it from a scientific stand point or from the position of where you are in your life. Nice one enjoyed reading
  • maricia91 Sep 20, 2009 @ 5:41 am | delete
    Isaak Newton is one of the most distinguished physicist in all times. His first law is the fundamental of many inventions today. Thanks for the lens.
  • Lilly-n-Lloyd Sep 10, 2009 @ 5:58 am | delete
    Deep post. I especially enjoyed the second of the three interpretations of Newton's Third Law - For every action, there is an equal and positive reaction: It pretty much nails my philosophy on the head, in that, everyone of us should take our own responsibility for the end result. --- Lilly

    Explicit analogy on Newton's 3 Laws of Motion! I can tell you are a very talented person and probably an excellent motivational speaker.
    I especially like how you break down / restate each law in 'bite-size' pieces.

    Very well done sir!
  • articlemarketer Sep 7, 2009 @ 10:34 am | delete
    Excellent interpretation of Newtons laws, definitely more applicable to my life than the applications of it I learned at school. I can see why you are involved in corporate coaching, many thanks for a pleasant read.
  • socialgeezer Sep 5, 2009 @ 5:08 pm | delete
    You've mentioned one of the most beneficial laws Newton came up with and that was: ........The amount of mental energy needed = The size of the goal x how quickly you want to get it. Never a truer word said.
