Principles in Practice

While the principles of conscious leadership manifest in various ways, we find these leaders possess the emotional, mental, and relational capacity to lead in environments of exponential change and complexity. Examples of the Principles in Practice include leaders who:

- Objectively observe and reflect on themselves across a variety of situations 

- Operate from a systemic perspective

- Build environments of trust and authenticity

- Leverage ambiguity for creative thinking and innovation

- Maintain personal objectivity even in difficult situations

- Actively create time and space for inquiry and exploration

- Learn to listen for guidance

- Balance competing commitments and demands of multiple stakeholders, time horizons, and business drivers

- Thrive on a clear inner purpose and personal vision that inspires others to action

- Remain contextually aware and adaptive to emerging signals and patterns

- Cultivate the conditions for growth and transformation individually and collectively

- Integrate financial sustainability with positive social and/or ecological impact
