A series published in 2012-2013. Short maxims reflecting the way of being of a conscious leader.
The Conscious Leader : #42 Dialogue
The conscious leader chooses response over reaction. To respond means to act in alignment with a higher value.
The Conscious Leader : #41 Confidence
The conscious leader knows that success comes through small, consistent actions, and improvement through small, consistent refinements.
The Conscious Leader : #40 Cutting Losses
The conscious leader doesn't push forward on a hopeless project just because he's afraid of missing out. He takes the hit and moves on.
The Conscious Leader : #39 Authenticity
The conscious leader knows that authenticity is more than just being honest about what you think or feel. It's about rising above yourself and being the best version of yourself that you are committed to be.
The Conscious Leader : #38 Congruence
When the image one has of oneself - or that a corporate has of itself - is matched by what's happening outside, that is a sign of congruence.
The Conscious Leader : #37 Avoidance
The conscious leader recognises when people avoid dealing with reality in a particular way and she challenges them to face it.
The Conscious Leader : #36 Issues v Problems
The conscious leader knows that problems can be solved, while issues are more complex and can only be moved forward, or evolved. Managers solve problems, and leaders evolve issues.
The Conscious Leader : #35 Leadership Actions
The conscious leader knows that leadership is not a thing, but a process reflected through leadership actions.
The Conscious Leader : #34 Humility
For the conscious leader, humility is like enjoying the thrill of walking a tightrope while knowing that it’s just one slip and you’re gone.
The Conscious Leader : #33 Decisiveness
The conscious leader knows that when decisions that can be made are left unmade, then chaos erupts out of the uncertainty.
