Ready for a wake-up call? Today’s episode of Brave New Work is all about conscious leadership—a way of showing up that asks us to be responsive rather than reactive, present rather than lodged in the past or the future, feeling-full rather than feeling-empty, and radically responsible rather than carelessly unaccountable. Sound hard? Exhausting? Wildly uncomfortable? It is.

That’s why Aaron Dignan and Rodney Evans called in Jim Dethmer, founding partner of the Conscious Leadership Group and co-author of The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership. They talk to Jim about why doing this self-work is so important, why transformational leadership depends on it, and how entire teams and organizations can become more self-aware.
