Journey to Conscious Leadership
ÁLVARO MERINO and PEDRO DÍAZ RIDAO
This book is an invitation to slow down and embark on “a journey toward conscious leadership.” A more fulfilling, more committed, and more responsible leadership, with a genuine interest in considering the impact that our actions as leaders have on our teams and the people who comprise them, and also, of course, on our overall well-being.
The conscious leader is “a leader who is aware.” The conscious leader has developed the capacity to look inward, to listen to themselves intellectually, emotionally, and physically. A conscious leader is constantly mindful of whether they are being true to their values, how they are feeling, and what they want, and naturally, also how their team is feeling and what they want, in order to make the most appropriate decisions. This conscious attention to oneself and to others is an attitude maintained over time, not a one-off event.
