Leaders who 'can't with their own feari the old day we said leaders can never show their fear, because then everybody else get scared. I want you to be able to have your fear and move into it and through it' "The same is true. It sadness. When we first got together six months ago, and we had this vision, and our technology was ten x the closest competitors, and we thought the money was going to come pouring in," he says."I had a dream, and that vision isn't going to come true."
Ready for a wake-up call? Today’s episode of Brave New Work is all about conscious leadership—a way of showing up that asks us to be responsive rather than reactive, present rather than lodged in the past or the future, feeling-full rather than feeling-empty, and radically responsible rather than carelessly unaccountable. Sound hard? Exhausting? Wildly uncomfortable? It is.
That’s why Aaron Dignan and Rodney Evans called in Jim Dethmer, founding partner of the Conscious Leadership Group and co-author of The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership. They talk to Jim about why doing this self-work is so important, why transformational leadership depends on it, and how entire teams and organizations can become more self-aware.
