You’ll never see leadership the same way again after reading this book.

These fifteen commitments are a distillation of decades of work with CEOs and other leaders. They are radical or provocative for many. They have been game changers for us and for our clients. We trust that they will be for you too.

Our experience is that unconscious leadership is not sustainable. It won’t work for you, your team or your organization in the long term. Unconscious leadership can deliver short term results, but the costs of living and leading unconsciously are great.

Fear drives most leaders to make choices that are at odds with healthy relationships, vitality and balance. This fear leaves a toxic residue that won’t be as easily tolerated in an increasingly complex business environment.

Conscious leadership offers the antidote to fear. These pages contain a comprehensive road map to guide you to shift from fear-based to trust-based leadership. Once you learn and start practicing conscious leadership you’ll get results in the form of more energy, clarity, focus and healthier relationships. You’ll do more and more of what you are passionate about, and less of what you do out of obligation. You’ll have more fun, be happier, experience less drama and be more on purpose.

Your team will get results as well. They’ll be more collaborative, creative, energized and engaged. They’ll solve issues faster, and once resolved the issues won’t resurface. Drama and gossip will all but disappear, and the energy and resources that fueled them will be redirected towards innovation and creativity.

Any one of these commitments will change your life. All of them together are revolutionary.

Leaders who practice the 15 commitments:
· End blame and criticism
· Speak candidly, openly and honestly, in a way that invites others to do the same
· Find their unique genius
· Let go of taking everything—especially themselves and their problems—so seriously
· Create win for all solutions
· Experience a new relationship to time and money where there is always enough

What do you need to bring to the table?

Be curious.

Sounds so simple, and yet in our experience it’s a skill few have mastered. Most of us are far more interested in being right and proving it, than we are in learning, growing and shifting out of our old patterns. By default we gravitate towards the familiar. We’re asking you to take a chance and explore the unfamiliar. You’ll get scared and reactive. We all do. So what? Just stay curious and let us introduce you to a whole new world of leadership.

Leadership of the Future: Practical, Easy to Read, Relatable.

December 28, 2019

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Awareness of self without self-righteousness and a culture that allows each employee to reach their maximum potential, increasing productivity, employee engagement and pleasure, are quotes on the back of the book that I have found true when this book is not just read but acted on. It’s practical. It’s easy to read. It’s relatable. It’s full of useful resources, techniques and tool with some research and many stories to support them.

The book starts with a story of two successful leaders and what a good day looks like. One leader is conscious, and one is not. The conscious leader always strives to be above the line, using the 15 commitments as a guide. Being above the line is a leader who is open, committed to learning and curious. Each of the 15 commitments reflects this in a different way. For example, commitment four is speaking candidly. Above the line leadership commits to saying what is true to me and being a person to whom others can express themselves with candor. Below the line leadership for commitment four is withholding my truth and speaking in a way that allows me to try to manipulate and outcome and not listening to others.

My copy of this book is well used with bookmarks, turned down pages and underlined passages. I’ve bought three copies and have had five clients buy copies. I’ve been using this book for over a year in my role as a leadership coach and can’t say enough great thing about it. It builds on some of what I know and introduces new concepts in an easy way. I’d also like to complement the authors on a wonderful resource packed website full of videos and pdf to support the book.

Conscious Leadership will change how you do business and how you lead your life

December 20, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

There are so many things I love about the 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership. Since finding the book in February 2017, I have read it multiple times, and have been working to integrate the commitments into my practice as a coach and into my life on this planet. I notice my work with clients going deeper and having wider impact, and improvements in all of my relationships.

*Accessibility*
Every idea presented in this book is done in a manner that is easy to understand and easy to apply. Part I offers a simple model – a line that one can find oneself either above or below – that alone offers the potential for deep and lasting insight. The practice of locating oneself either above or below the line enables broader thinking and creates room to explore and potentially shift one’s mindset.

*A well-curated, well-organized gallery of ideas and principles*
The authors unabashedly draw on concepts and practices from the work of others (Hendricks Institute, Sedona Method, Byron Katie, Immunity to Change to name a few) to augment and support their own ideas.

*Not just for leaders, and not just for business*
Leaders absolutely benefit from the 15 Commitments. I have introduced it to clients in a variety of leadership roles, in a variety of organizations (tech, education, media). I also apply it to my own life and have found practices that have substantively improved my relationship with my stepchildren, and my communication with my husband, and other family members.

*Exercises and resources*
At then end of each chapter on the individual commitments there is a section, Practicing the Commitment, that offers ideas and exercises for building the commitment for yourself or in your organization. The authors also offer tools and videos at the Conscious Leadership Group website, Conscious.Is.

***Update November 2018***
My hard copy of The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership is well worn, marked up and tabbed. It has become my gift of choice for leaders of all kinds and I find myself referring to it regularly as a resource guide for exploring the different challenges my client (and I face). In the Audible version, Jim Dethmer's voice provides a warm invitation to dig in and explore.

One of the best leadership books available

June 28, 2019

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I've read a lot of leadership books, and this one is truly a game changer. I first came across the concept of above and below the line when a colleague introduced me to a short video from the Conscious Leadership group called: "Locating Yourself: A Key to Conscious Leadership." While reading this book I could immediately apply the concepts to my work and home life. I use the 15 Commitments with clients in strategic planning and in talking about how to build healthy and fun organizational cultures. I also talk to my children about being above or below the line. I started a local book group to discuss the book with other friends who are practicing the 15 Commitments in their lives too.

The genius of this approach is that Jim Dethmer, Diana Chapman and Kaley Warner Klemp have curated some of the most fascinating concepts from psychology, neuroscience, spirituality, and organizational development and have woven them together into a system that has the power to change individual and team behavior.

I highly recommend this book as well as all of the free resources (videos, handouts, meditations, blog posts) available on the Conscious Leadership Group's website.

Pretty Good

December 13, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The 15 Commitments focuses on what the authors call performing above the line versus below the line. For each commitment, they give examples of what performing above vs below the line would entail. The highlights of this book is their focus on introspection and the importance of self-awareness and honest feedback. In my opinion, the best "commitments" are the ones related to honesty, integrity and focus. I don't particularly care for the chapters that focus more on what others think.

Overall I would recommend this as well as many others on leadership.
