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 enoughWhat 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.

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

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.

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.

    This book serves as a high-level overview of the frameworks and tools, written in a highly-accessible way, but is just a taste of how CLG can transform your life and work. CLG, like any set of robust tools for personal development, requires deep practice and dedication. I personally have never found a more powerful set of tools and frameworks than these. I use them in my marriage, in my company, and in my relationships with family and friends. As a result, my life has completely transformed in truly incredible ways.

    I've read some reviews that have criticized CLG as promoting "selfishness / self-centered thinking and living" I personally have not struggled to do deep personal and inter-personal work using these tools while also engaging with empathy, care, and generosity. In fact, I've consistently found that practicing CLG has brought me deeper, more honest connection with the people around me because I'm able to approach situations from a place of true openness vs reactivity / threat. At the end of the day, CLG is a set of powerful tools and it is up to the practitioner about how they use them in their own life (this is true of many things, including technology and religions). For that reason, I would highly recommend only practicing deeply with someone who is co-committed to CLG. There are certain aspects of the tools you can use generally with folks who are not co-committed, like Integrity, Play, and Zone of Genius. Save the rest for folks who aren't afraid to get messy with you!

    This book has been a game changer for leaders I’ve worked with. Awareness of self without self-righteousness. A culture that allows each employee to reach their maximum potential while increasing productivity, employee engagement, and pleasure; I have found this true when this book is read and acted on.

    It’s practical. It’s easy to read. It’s relatable. It’s full of valuable resources, techniques, and tools 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 examines leaders above and below the line. For example, commitment four is speaking candidly. Above-the-line leadership commits to saying what is true to me and being someone 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 an outcome and not listen to others.

    My copy of this book is well-used with bookmarks, turned-down pages, and underlined passages. I’ve been using this book for a few years with clients and can’t say enough great things about it. It builds on some of what you may already know and quickly introduces new concepts and how to use them.
