Conscious Leadership

"Only three things happen naturally in organizations: friction, confusion, and underperformance. Everything else requires leadership." -Peter Drucker

Conscious leaders will sacrifice and serve those under them. They will create a vision to help others achieve what they did not even know was possible.

A leader needs to be both strong and caring. Strength without caring is brutal, while caring without strength is ineffective.

Leadership needs to be authentic, meaningfully communicate with and influence others, and create value. Artifice is too easily seen through. Not working with others is about the furthest from leadership possible. Doing the wrong thing is worse than not doing anything at all, as such a misdirected leader will not only fail to build what they should but will have their people digging a hole that must be filled in by others before restarting the building process after they are gone.
