Courtney Abbott's Key Ideas from Conscious Leadership
by John Mackey, Steve Mcintosh, Carter Phipps

• Handle all organizational affairs, decisions and conduct with ethical behavior guided by moral principles concerning fundamental matters of right and wrong.
• Do what is fair, just and avoids harm according to the highest standards.
• Uphold impeccable integrity to make wise, compassionate choices.
• Conscious leaders self-regulate egos in service of ethics.

Practice conscious empathy, deep listening, and genuine care for others' wellbeing and growth.

Take time to understand different human perspectives without judgement. Build trusting relationships through openness, compassion, humility, and service to human needs.

Care for the whole person.

• Invest in developing people's full human potential on emotional, intellectual, social and spiritual levels.
• Help them find deeper meaning and purpose in their work.
• Provide enrichment opportunities for creativity, learning, contribution and growth.
• Nurture those you lead.

• Adopt an inclusive, humble servant leadership approach focused on empowering others over ego.
• Value diversity and all voices. Lead collaboratively with an open heart, not from top-down authority.
• Share power and leadership opportunities. Lift others up.

Through meditation, self-reflection and other self-awareness practices, consciously cultivate higher levels of moral wisdom, altruism, inner peace, presence and spiritual purpose within yourself as a leader.

Apply this elevated consciousness to leadership.

• Promote mindfulness, work-life balance, psychological safety and physical/mental health.
• Foster positive emotions, strong relationships, meaning, accomplishment, engagement and human flourishing.
• Protect staff from chronic stress and burnout.
• Maximize joy and vitality. 

Nurture organizational cultures characterized by trust, empowerment, accountability, ethics, caring, inclusiveness, continuous learning, vitality and higher purpose.

This kind of elevating culture attracts and retains conscious talent, and elevates customer experiences.
