Defining Conscious Leadership

Conscious leadership is characterized by the ability to remain present and aware in a non-reactive state, allowing leaders to engage fully with their environments. It emphasizes a conscious choice to understand circumstances without being triggered by external factors. Diana Chapman highlights the importance of recognizing when one is 'above the line'—in a state of trust and presence—versus 'below the line,' where reactivity tends to prevail. This awareness fosters a mindset conducive to learning, ultimately enhancing one's capacity for leadership.
