The Journey to Authentic Leadership
I created this image to help illustrate the inner leader journey from traditional ego based leadership to authentic leadership.
Our ego-driven mind constantly seeks control, validation, and approval.
They are conditioned responses coming from an illusory mind-made sense of self.
We've all been conditioned by our upbringing, education, and society to identify with our mind.
We think we're the voice in our head.
By developing self-awareness, we can minimize the impact of our ego and constructed self-image on our leadership approach.
Deeper Awareness is not a place to reach, but an awareness to recognize.
The Authentic Self emerges not through effort, but through allowing.
When we stop trying to influence, we naturally embody a quiet power.
This power does not come from you, but through you.
Then you are not your ego driven thoughts about leadership.
You are the awareness from which these thoughts and all experiences come from.
Can you sense that awareness now?
These are the types of concepts we explore in our Anti-Leadership workshops to help you:
- Unlock your authentic leadership potential
- Reclaim your humanity in the age of AI
- Create positive change in your organization and the world that unfolds through you
