The traditional leadership paradigm, known as the "power-over" model, focuses on control and hierarchy, often resulting in micromanagement, burnout, quiet quitting, low morale, and high employee turnover. In contrast, Kim B. Clark, former Dean at Harvard Business School, advocates for a new leadership paradigm called "Leading Through," which integrates humanity—soul, heart, and mind—to create thriving organizations. The soul of leadership involves a shared moral framework, promoting values like kindness, empathy, and love to combat workplace toxicity, discrimination, and arrogance. The heart is encapsulated in the LIVE framework: Love (caring for and knowing employees), Inspiration (motivating people toward a better future), Vitality (energizing individuals), and Expression (allowing creative freedom). The mind of leadership is the process of assessing situations, problem-solving, creating visions, and setting direction. It focuses on engaging people, building teams, and maintaining disciplined attention. "Leading Through" unifies heart, soul, and mind. Without the mind, the heart and soul may inspire commitment but lack strategic direction. Without heart and soul, the mind risks reverting to control-based leadership. This integrated approach drives sustainable success by combining compassion, vision, and strategic action. #Leadership #Power-over #Leadingthrough #Kindness #Empathy #Love

Heart Centered Leadership in Multigenerational Workforces Heart Centered Leadership is particularly valuable in navigating the unique dynamics of "Multigenerational Workforces". The modern workplace can include up to five generations, each with their own Values, Communication Styles, and Expectations. Heart Centered Leaders see this diversity as a strength and work to create a culture of mutual understanding and respect. These leaders start by educating themselves about the formative experiences and general preferences of each generation. They recognize that while these are broad trends, each individual is unique. They avoid stereotyping and instead seek to understand each team member as a whole person. Heart Centered Leaders adapt their communication and management style to the needs of each generation. They may use more face-to-face communication with "Baby Boomers", more digital communication with Gen Z, and a mix for Gen X and Millennials. They're flexible in their approach while staying true to their core values. Throughout, Heart Centered Leaders model Respect, Adaptability, and Continuous Learning. They show that it's possible to bridge generational divides with Open-Mindedness and Empathy. 1) How can you better understand and appreciate the unique strengths and needs of each generation on your team? 2) What steps can you take to encourage "Cross-Generational Collaboration" and learning in your workplace? 3) How can you ensure your decisions and policies are inclusive of all generations?

By putting pen to paper—or fingers to keyboard—you can clear mental clutter, enhance emotional intelligence, and strengthen your decision-making. Transformational leadership requires leaders to be intentional about expanding their self-awareness, utilizing the new awareness to understand the impact of how they relate to events and the people around them. Having journal prompts be coherent to the desire for self-discovery is a simple tool to support ‘designed intentionality’.

How Conscious Leadership creates the best outcome for everyone. Let’s begin with three Truths You cannot control the external world.  You can only control your response to it. You either continue to struggle by repeating unconscious patterns over and over or access greater awareness to create different outcomes. Remaining unconscious:  You expend a lot of effort in resistance and can’t perceive anything outside the same thoughts, emotions and patterns that are at the root of everything you struggle with.  You do your best but it does not feel good inside. Becoming more conscious: 🔹 You understand you are not your thoughts and emotions.  🔹 You learn you are the awareness that observes those things.  🔹 Your effort is rewarded as you learn to become less reactive to the intensity of your emotions and less attached to them as defining you. You can explore becoming more conscious by practicing ‘The Pause’.  Practice catching yourself to create a small space between an external trigger and the emotional reaction that determines the action you take. If you can take just one breath in that moment, you are conscious. If there is no space, you are replaying a conditioned program. Through intentional practice, you develop the ability to pause, expand perspective, and choose the most appropriate response in any situation. Everyone wins. You feel connected to yourself, your people feel supported and empowered, and you are modeling healthy engagement that leads to outcomes that are more aligned with your mission. Conscious leaders are self-aware, mindful of their impact in the world, and have the ability to engage and inspire others to live into their potential to achieve the best outcome for all.

  What’s the one concept that promises to make us better decision-makers and leaders, unleashing our potential and productivity?   AI? Possibly. Stillness? Definitely.   As summer unfolds, I’m excited to share the book that tops my list of those that have inspired the most positive changes in my personal and professional life: "Stillness is the Key" by Ryan Holiday. Alongside the broader Stoic philosophy the author promotes, this book is a game-changer.   In the fast-paced world of business, especially in roles demanding strategic foresight and decision-making, maintaining a calm and balanced mind is crucial. This book is NOT for those who live by the “I’ll sleep when I’m dead” mantra. It’s for those who believe we are at our best when we cultivate the tools, habits, and lifestyle that foster stillness in mind, body, and spirit.   Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to support highly successful strategic leadership teams. Here’s how I’ve seen Holiday’s stillness principles applied by these leaders:   🔹 Be Ruthlessly Efficient and Mindful About Work, Rest, and Recharge Time  Ryan Holiday draws inspiration from the Stoics, who coined the phrase “memento mori” (remember you will die) as a reminder to stay grounded in the present. Think of it this way: we have, on average, 4,000 weeks on this planet. Each week, day, and minute is important and should be lived mindfully.   🔹 Stay Calm and Carry On The best strategies emerge from a place of clarity and purpose. Practicing stillness clears our minds of distractions and focuses us on what truly matters. Cultivating inner calm helps us show up with confidence and grace, especially when faced with unforeseen challenges.   🔹 Keep Things in Perspective In today’s VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) world, we juggle multiple responsibilities. "Stillness is the Key" reminds us to slow down, prioritize, and maintain a balanced perspective. Strategic leadership is about mastering the three horizons (short, medium, and long-term); without perspective, we can easily fall into the trap of reactive thinking.   This small book is full of big ideas. Ultimately, "Stillness is the Key" is a guide to becoming a more mindful and effective leader.   Happy reading! 📖✨   #leadership #mindfulness #VUCA #strategic

Leadership Lessons: Championing Compassion - Lessons from a Dad On The Field! I hung up the phone and couldn’t shake off my disbelief. A friend mentioned how some leaders view signs of stress or struggle in their teams as weaknesses, rather than opportunities to strengthen support. This is not only wrong; it's heartbreaking! These individuals aren't just employees; they’re people, each with their own stories and battles. From the heart, being a leader means: 1. Being there for your team when the going gets tough, not just celebrating in good times. 2. Listening genuinely when someone says they're overwhelmed, not just nodding along. 3. Standing up for your team's right to a balanced life, not just driving them to meet deadlines. 4. Offering a helping hand or a listening ear, because sometimes, that’s all someone might need to keep going. 5. Building a culture where everyone feels safe to speak up about their mental health without fear. Valuing people over productivity, because at the end of the day, they are the heartbeat of the company. True leadership is measured not by how you lead in moments of comfort, but how you stand in times of challenge and controversy! Let’s commit to being the kind of leaders who protect, support, and genuinely care for our teams. If this resonates with you, share your thoughts or how you’re making a difference. Let’s spread kindness and compassion in leadership together.

Truly, leadership is about is seeing the best in each one and setting up the stage for them to succeed.
