Jim Boulden says people need to ask themselves, is it true? When they receive feedback from someone who knows more about the subject than them, that person must be an expert. That's one of the reasons there are so many negative feedback filters in organizations. "If you want a change how you're perceived in the organization, just start asking for feeback," he says.
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.
