Overview

"As the author says: ""I have spent a lifetime studying the psychology of people and work, marvelling at how much trouble we can get into when we don't understand ourselves and what makes other people tick."" The Conscious Leader brings you the nine principles and practices needed to create a wide-awake and productive workplace. Doing business today requires navigating the psychological terrain of people at work: egos that run amok and put personal success ahead of corporate achievement; palpable, underlying anger that surfaces in response to company policies; ill treatment by one particular manager, or your own grandstanding; and fear so contagious that people spend most of their time trying to keep their jobs instead of doing their jobs. In the incredible pressure cooker that is the modern workplace, how do you keep your eyes on a ball that is increasingly invisible? By understanding basic psychology of people at work, you can gain the essential knowledge needed to create a more successful and productive team."

Dr. Shelley Reciniello very astutely notes 'we cannot become mindful if we are not at first conscious.' Having a deep understanding of what life in organizations is all about, the author provides a wealth of information revealing how leaders can derail due to behavior patterns of which they are unaware. This book is a must for anyone interested in creating better places to work. -- Manfred F. R. Kets de Vries, Founder and Distinguished Clinical Professor of Leadership Development and Organizational Change, INSEAD Global Leadership Center. The Conscious Leader is a splash of cold water in the face of sleepwalking and mindless executives and managers; Reciniello has written a thoughtful, practical, accessible, antidote for leaders committed to greater self-awareness and to more reflective organizations. -- Michael A. Diamond, Ph.D., Professor and Director, Center for the Study of Organizational Change, University of Missouri Vulnerability is one of the most powerful components for success in organizations followed by trust and transparency. Yet we push these out of our consciousness and create cultures where people can speak up and hide at the same time for fear their real selves will not be valued. The Conscious Leader provides insights that nudge us to wake up and become aware of all the subtle signals we send each other. Waking-up and becoming conscious is an essential step for new leadership everywhere. -- Judith E. Glaser, CEO, Benchmark Communications, Inc.; author of Conversational Intelligence: How Great Leaders Build Trust and Get Extraordinary Results Reciniello has taken a difficult and tricky subject - Freud and psychoanalysis - and made it understandable and approachable in the context of business and leadership. This is a welcome addition to all leadership books out there today. -- David C.
