Resources: Conscious Leadership

Conscious Leadership is an approach to leading with self-awareness, integrity, and intentionality. It focuses on developing a leader’s ability to stay aligned with their core values and purpose while fostering resilience and adaptability. This leadership style enables leaders to make thoughtful decisions, inspire trust, and create meaningful impact within their organisations.

Why Conscious Leadership Matters for Small Business Owners
Small business owners play pivotal roles in shaping their teams and guiding growth. Conscious Leadership equips them to lead authentically, communicate effectively, and handle challenges with clarity. By cultivating self-awareness and resilience, leaders can empower their teams to stay motivated and aligned, driving sustainable growth and a positive culture.

Our Approach to Conscious Leadership

Our framework recognises there are two developmental aspects:

• "Being" - how an individual embodies leadership qualities

• "Doing" - how an individual demonstrating their leadership competency and proficiency

The 3 pillars of our Conscious Leadership 'Being' development:

1. Identity - developing a leadership style focused on knowing yourself and leading with conscious and intentional decision making
   

2. Growth Mindset - adopting a growth mindset to become better with each experience
   

3. Resilience - developing one's resilience to sustain efforts for consistent long-term performance.

The 5 levels of the Conscious Leadership 'Doing' development:

1. Foundational - self-awareness, emotional intelligence, time management, effective communication, accountability, integrity, critical thinking
   

2. Advanced - team leadership, conflict resolution, coaching, influence, decision-making, working under pressure, feedback & development
   

3. Strategic - visionary leadership, strategic thinking, change management, organisational agility, cross-functional leadership, business acumen, talent management
   

4. Executive - organisational strategy, cultural Leadership, stakeholder management, crisis leadership, innovation & growth, global perspective
   

5. Board - corporate governance, risk management, financial oversight, strategic oversight, ethics & social responsibility
   
   

There's no one-size-fits-all approach to leadership. The framework above provides a model for progressive development. Specific roles will require tailored skills based on the unique responsibilities of each position.

Supporting Your Journey

The harder work is in developing our 'Being' as Conscious Leaders as that's what requires us to make time for and put in intentional effort.

The 'Doing' aspects generally come easier to most to pick up on the job or via a mentoring or trainings simply due to the demands of the job.

Hence our executive coaching programmes, workshops and online programmes focus on developing Leadership "Being", while developing leadership "Doing" is worked through just with executive coaching based on the developmental needs of the individual at that stage of their career.
