The business world has changed, and the future of business success values Emotional Intelligence.
The industrial revolution defined productivity singularly by manufacturing output, speed, and efficiencies – how many widgets could be produced and rapidly brought to market for consumption. Work culture and success were largely defined by homogenous thinking and a command-control leadership style valuing maximum efficiency over individual skill sets.
Fast forward 200 years later, we have experienced the information age and multiple levels of the technology age, and we are now firmly in the experience age.
After years of being seen as expendable, and, in some cases, even a little dehumanized in the workplace, employees have the upper hand thanks to a tight labor market. Burnt by poor leadership, workers are escaping unfulfilling jobs and toxic environments for new companies where they feel valued, seen, and appreciated.
Enlightened organizations are finally realizing the command-and-control status quo isn’t working anymore. Today, there is no room left in the C-suite for big egos and demanding personalities now that conscious leaders are bringing self-awareness, mindfulness, and compassion to the table.
Conscious leadership is a transformational and holistic approach to team management. The most innovative business leaders today have found ways to heighten their self-awareness, recognizing how their behaviors, values, and attitudes affect their employees’ performance and happiness. They lead with integrity and speak with intent, but are able to be mindful and present in the moment to fully tune in to their workers’ needs.
It can be hard for leaders to shift their mindsets when society has taught us vulnerability should stay hidden and empathy is a sign of weakness in the workplace. As a graduate of the Inner MBA Program for Conscious Leadership and a mindful leadership coach, I can help you slow down, take a breath, and work on your self-growth to radiate acceptance and fulfillment throughout your office.
Through one-on-one personalized Conscious Leadership coaching, you’ll learn how to:
Conscious leaders succeed because they find the inner strength to tear down the wall between executive and employee. But, building up that vulnerable courage requires time, commitment, and accountability. I’m here to help set the groundwork for personal insight and provide support as you pursue a transformational mindset and workplace.
