Conscious Leadership is one of the Four Pillars of Conscious Capitalism. How would you define conscious leadership? Here is how one Conscious Leader has redefined his definition to also include ACTION. His definition is: “A conscious leader is fully present, self-aware, unattached to ego, and compassionate toward all fellow human beings. He or she demonstrates calm, poise, inner strength, and courage in his or her everyday work. And a conscious leader acts on their beliefs, engages in society, and takes a public stand for what matters most.” Do you agree?
