We asked Melissa what kind of issues conscious leadership might help address. She gave several examples of what it can help with for both the individual leader and the organization:
A feeling of being stuck - like you need to move forward or change direction, but you just can’t see how;
Behavioural issues like defensiveness, procrastination, feelings of hostility, passive aggressiveness, placing blame, etc;
Consistently missing objectives or struggling to clarify objectives;
Moving through transitions;
Motivating employees or teammates;
Finding and keeping top talent;
Looking to get an edge in the millennial job market;
Interpersonal issues or struggling to communicate effectively.
And there’s one big one that Melissa says everyone struggles with and everyone can benefit from confronting: “The difficult conversations. We all have them and we all know them! It’s those conversations that we know, if we could just have them, openly, honestly, without judgement or fear, everyone could move forward more easily and understand each other better.”
