Developing the Conscious Leadership Mindset for the 21st Century: Insight for Leading Change, Improving Employee Engagement, and Achieving Extraordinary Results (Conscious Leadership Series)

The greatest challenges facing most leaders today are profitability, employee engagement, and innovation.For many companies the old-style command and control, top/down, authoritative, hierarchical leadership methods that were necessary at one time, have become too limiting, too controlling, and too wasteful of vital human capital to be effective in our modern world. We currently have four to five of the most independent minded, self-empowered, educated generations in the history of humanity in the workforce. The Innovation Age has brought with it an explosion of both technology and individualism which are evolving at breakneck speeds. The old style of leadership is quickly becoming a liability that directly impacts the bottom line and the health of our organizations.As leaders we must not only accept this reality, but we must also begin exploring and embracing new leadership models that are in alignment with the world in which we live and the consciousness of the people we lead. The way forward must include models and methods that value individualism over institutionalism and in turn free human capital to increase levels of employee engagement and drive profits.
