Common Purpose breaks down the crucial role that "Conscious Leaders" play in today's world and the world that we're going into. Louise Teboul (She/Her) #CommonPurpose #globalleaders #futurework

In a world that's constantly evolving, the role of leaders has never been more crucial. Conscious leaders prioritize self-awareness, empathy, and purpose-driven decision-making. They create environments that foster collaboration, innovation, and personal growth. So why is conscious leadership so important for an organization? 1️⃣ Authentic Connection: Conscious leaders build genuine connections with their teams - fostering trust and open communication. This enables a culture of collaboration and shared purpose. 2️⃣ Emotional Intelligence: Understanding and managing emotions is key. Conscious leaders cultivate emotional intelligence, creating a positive work atmosphere and enhancing team dynamics. 3️⃣ Adaptability and Innovation: In a rapidly changing world, conscious leaders embrace adaptability and encourage innovative thinking. They inspire their teams to navigate challenges with resilience and creativity. 4️⃣ Employee Well-being: Prioritizing the well-being of team members is at the core of conscious leadership. This includes mental, physical, and emotional health - ultimately contributing to a happier and more engaged workforce. 5️⃣ Purpose-Driven Decisions: Conscious leaders align decisions with a higher purpose, contributing to the greater good. This not only inspires employees but also attracts like-minded individuals who share the same values! Are you looking to incorporate conscious leadership principles in your professional journey?

How do you feel about dissent? Do you welcome it? Zach Bonaker believes dissent and debate are critical for building uncommon teams.

Here's a bit more from Zach on the topic: https://lnkd.in/gUwdJyFH What debate are you looking forward to today? Let Zach and me know in the comments! #leadership #mindset #change

🌟 MIKROGEN Emerging Leaders Program Module 3 Reflections 🌟 This week, we've wrapped up Module 3 of our Emerging Leaders Program and the insights were truly transformative. Here are the core takeaways: - The Myth of Motivation: True leadership isn't about amassing followers to advance your journey—it's about igniting others to realize their own potential. - Your Story, Your Leadership: We revisited the poignant narrative of Viktor E. Frankl to understand that leadership often requires a pivotal moment to recognize our purpose. Our stories shape us significantly. - Reflecting on Crucibles: Identifying the events that have sculpted our character is crucial. What life lessons did these "crucibles" impart? - Inspiration Corner: The untold story of Charles M. Schulz (https://lnkd.in/eNYdyCTR) reminded us that everyone has a unique story that can inspire others. - From Event to Response: Our explanatory style matters. Do we view challenges as fleeting and external, or permanent and personal? The optimistic frame can be a game-changer. - Cultivating Resilience: Shifting our response from pessimism to optimism isn't just about feeling better—it's about building resilience. - Empathy vs. Sympathy: Empathy builds connections; sympathy can unintentionally create distance. Remember, empathy is a powerful, and sometimes vulnerable, choice. - Empathy in Action: It involves perspective-taking, non-judgmental listening, recognizing shared emotions, and communicating understanding. - Embracing Discomfort: Empathy asks us to lean into discomfort, to remember and share in feelings that might be uneasy, fostering a deeper connection. - Connection is Key: Responses alone can't solve problems, but fostering connection can make things better. Each module is a step toward becoming not just a leader, but a beacon of inspiration and support for others. Let's take these learnings and create a ripple effect of positive change! #EmergingLeaderProgram #Mikrogen #LeadershipDevelopment #EmergingLeaders #AuthenticLeadership #Empathy #Resilience

The potty-mouthed Professor Scott Galloway (NYU), known for not mincing words, delivers a potent message in "How the US is Destroying Young People's Futures." It's a frank, unvarnished examination of the systemic hurdles our students face in the current educational and economic environment. As a grandfather of three, this TED Talk disrupted my privileged perspectives. The future isn't predetermined. Previous generations of leaders shaped it; now it's our turn to redefine it.

Facing into 2024 : Innovation and Creativity cannot thrive in any organisation set up as a capitalistic model that is addicted to short term profit. Expecting Infinite growth in a finite system/company, favours the promotion of ruthless leaders that do not care who they annihilate in pursuit of their goals. It takes courage to walk away with integrity. There is a new code for Leadership! One that encourages principle and leans into transformation and innovation that values the human beings around us.
