The mind is presented as the equipment that determines the level of consciousness,

whether the person is stock with appearances or is able to perceive essentials; at

which depth the black box is adequately described to outline system operation, as

evidence of talent and leadership; both of which can be optimally developed in

The Black Box Model:

A Talent Management Model for

Grooming Transformational Leaders By

Peter Anyebe

Consciousness is conceptualised in this work simply as the capacity to become

aware of phenomena. This creates the following two, 2 levels of consciousness:

Appearances

Essentials

Thus, people may be aware of only the appearances of phenomena, which is rather

shallow. At a greater depth, the essentials that give the phenomenon being are

identified. Because of the possibility of mid-cases, these limits become end points

that define consciousness as a continuum that lies between sensation and

perception, respectively. While appearances are in the realm of sensation, f0

essentials are only accessed by perception, f1. In practice however, the continuum

works differently. It defines a link between sensation, f0 and perception, f1 which

requires that a phenomenon is analysed, F1 to reduce it into the components that

make it up; and thereafter, synthesised, F2 to put humpty-dumpty back together

again. Given sensation, f0 which is transmitted from the five, 5 senses of the human

body to the brain, it is the mind, F that hovers over the brain to pick up the sensation

electromagnetically, for analysis, F1 synthesis, F2 and then perception, f1. For

establishment, this conception of consciousness and mind is reduced into the

perception model of mind, PMM to link sensation, f0 and perception, f1 as follows:

When this model is simulated, the factors F1 and F2 are defined as outlined below:

f0 = 4(1 – 1/√z),

z = ½(4 – 1/√f1) f1 = Perception Index, N = 5

f0 = Sensation Index, N= 1

By the appearance therefore, every phenomenon is characterized, F2 by an infinite

number of components or phenomena, for Nu = ∞. But by the PMM, there are only

five, 5 essentials, for Nu = 5, by which a phenomenon is adequately described. To

surf within the Nu = ∞ components to isolate the Nu = 5 essentials therefore requires

effort, which is applied in the learning process. Then effort would be a function of

commitment and time, which measures the capacity to surf the Nu = ∞ items until

the Nu = 5 items are fully identified. And learning would have occurred, according

to the number of essentials that are identified, for Nu = 0 to 5. Optimally however, it

would be sufficient to identify four, 4 of the five, 5 essentials.

In this case, the mind is defined to comprise the emotion, L the intellect, F and the

will, A. And learning begins with desire, in the emotion, where it is resident. But it

A = LF2, (Will)

L = 1/A2 F2: (Emotion)

A2 = f1f0

F = √(F1/F2): (Intellect)

f1 = tT, (Perception)

1. t = 1/ F2; t = Timing

2. T = √fo; T = Tolerance

F2 = 1/∑(Pm) x 67.00, (Synthesis)

m

Pm + 1 = 2 (∑Pm ) + 1

m=1

F1 = 2√R – 1, (Analysis)

P1 = F1

R = 1/f: (Relativity Index)

f = 1 - 1/ Fo : fo ≥ 0.50,

f =1/Fo otherwise

Fo = √ (Lo x Ao)

Lo = 1/(1 - f0)

Ao = 1/f0

fo = Sensation: Measured on the F-Scale as the approximation

of the natural order, N-O by the personal order, P-O

remains dormant, until the will becomes committed to the fulfilment of the desire.

This makes available the energy that is utilised by the intellect, for the following

two, 2 processes:

Plot the path or procedure for desire fulfilment, CWk

Overcome the obstacles in the way of fulfilment, CNd

Then, C’ = CWk + CNd. This model measures consciousness, C’ as a function of the

capacity to overcome the vagaries of the environment that make appearances

attractive and dominant over the essentials. The attractions measure the person’s

need, CNd. While the procedure that is derived measures the work, CWk that is done.

The quality of work is evaluated as the approximation of the standard procedure,

Fn. The typical standard procedure, F

n comprises six, 6 items. The sixth, 6

th item

defines the purpose, A to be achieved, when the desire is fulfilled, for A = LF2. And

the remaining five, 5 items characterise, F2 this purpose, uniquely, for F

2 = 1/F

n.

The standard procedure is the analogue of the natural order, N-O. This means that

the standard procedure is actually a reconstruction of processes that imitate the way

things are done in nature. It is founded on principles that underlie nature.

For instance, physics has concluded that every phenomenon in nature is a wave,

which would be adequately defined by two, 2 features including the size and the

location. Analogously, social phenomena would be adequately defined by growth

and development, respectively. Development defines the two, 2 extreme limits of

being, including the minima and the maxima; which are represented as the

components to be nurtured into the optimum nature, respectively. These limits

define the path that must be traversed, to fulfil the lifespan of the phenomenon. Then

at any time, t the phenomenon would be located somewhere on this continuum. And

each of the locations would define its size, according to how much growth has been

recorded. Growth is also defined by two, 2 factors, including the impulse and

sustenance components, according to the rate that can be maintained, until the

process is accomplished. Serially:

The Standard Procedure Series

3. Impulse, L2 Phenomenon, F

2. Nature, A1 5. Development, A

1. Nurture, A2 6. Growth, L

4. Sustenance, L1

The procedure, which is the product of the learning process, is also stored in the

emotion, L for L = 1/A2 F2.

Behaviour has been commonly grouped into two, 2 types as follows:

Reflex

Voluntary Motivated

Voluntary Motivated behaviour is deliberate and has to be learned. But after the

procedure has been derived and stored in the emotion, it is recalled reflexively when

it is needed, without recourse to the intellect. However, whether learning is acted

upon or not, depends on how closely the procedure approximates the standard. This

means that to turn what is known into what is done, the standard needs to be

approximated. There are other possible standards, according to the values that the

group subscribes to. These would not be the right standards, although they may be

acceptable. A standard that is acceptable, but falls short of the appropriate, affects

sustainability, to reduce lifespan according to the extent of deviance. Then the

greater the deviance that is observed the larger the entropy, F that is contributed.

The second law of thermodynamics defines the acceptable level of entropy to the

physical environment. By this law, nature tends from greater order to greater

disorder. The normality principle defines the social equivalent of this law, to put the

acceptable limit of entropy contribution at a unity, for F=1. This has been formalised

on the productivity model presented below:

This is when the form of being has been perceived correctly, to derive the standard

procedure. In this case, the limits of development define the work that is to be done,

and growth defines the energy that is utilised. These account for the four, 4 items on

the series. The inefficiency that is observed in these processes defines the waste that

is exhausted, through the fifth item.

By the systems principle, phenomena are studied from three, 3 perspectives;

including the input, the output, and the system itself. The system is referred to as a

black box when its components and the relationships between them are not defined.

RES = RGT,

Nu ≥ 4

Ps ≤ 20%

RES = Response to Stimuli

RGT = Appropriateness of Response

Nu = Number of Essentials Identified

Ps = Position on the Pareto 80-20 Continuum

Then it is studied indirectly, from a comparison of its input and output, in the hope

that the system operation can be reconstructed. Given the wave model, as well as its

analogue the phenomenology model, it has been possible to define the form of

being, from which the standard procedure series is derived. This series actually

defines the black box, BB to describe the phenomenon, and at once outline the

procedure by which it is made. Every item on the series is uniquely located,

according to the relationships between them.

Leadership involves growing people from working with the acceptable, to working

with the appropriate standards. It is achieved when the BB can be reconstructed.

The growth happens via the synergy, SGY that groups create. Thus, every member of

a group benefits from the synergy that the group creates, for ROIApp > ROIPc. ROI is

a measure of the return on investment. It is larger for individuals when evaluated on

the appraisal model, ROIApp than when predicted for the same person on the

phenomenological compression kit, Pc-K, ROIPc. But leaders benefit less, for SGYF

< 2; and the followers benefit more, for SGYF ≥ 2. This distinction is achieved by a

measure of the performance index, PfI that approximates a unity (PfI → 1) for

leaders, but tends towards a zero (PfI → 0), for followers.

Thus organisations offer two, 2 kinds of reward as follows:

Synergy, which caters for the need, CNd of the employees

ROI, which rewards the work done, according to their ability, CWk

As performance improves with the capacity to reconstruct the BB, need, CNd is

minimised; and ROI improves, with ability, CWk. The ROI is the basis for a

monetisation model that translates knowledge into money as follows:

Profit

ROI = ,

ROI

Both the profit and the ROI have to be measured on the same scale as below:

Profit = Sales – Production costs

ROI = Sales / Production Costs

When talent is identified correctly, work becomes a play, and effort is a breeze.
