Heart Leadership is all about living with integrity to which some would call it "walking the talk" - do what you say you'll do. In heart leadership it's more than that - integrity is a wholeness that encompasses out belief system on at such a deep level that it is impossible to split  that which we believe from how we act. Integrity is believing, thinking, speaking and acting in alighnment with our personal values.....

Spirit respecting Heart Leadership sees the possibilites in every situation and this makes risk taking so much easier. An environment that encourages people to experiment with possibilites and to make mistakes is a fertile ground for creativity and innovation...

Traditional Managers autopilot there way through business - particularily through their behaviours and decisions. They operate from assumptions and 'certainties' that haven't been challenged for a very long time.

When we Lead from the Heart, we want as many people as possible challenging as many realities as possible, contriburing as much pertinent information as possible and collaborately making the best decsions for the organisati...

It has been said by Nancy Anderson that "courage is not the absence of of fear: rather it is the ability to take action in th face of fear."

I have found that's what it's like in introducing heart/spiritual leadership within the workplace.  When we recognise we don't live in 'little boxes' of work lives, community lives, lives as workers and employers and lives as parents, spouses or children. We live in one life where the same valu...

I believe that leading a spirit-respecting workplace is easier than managing a traditional organisation - it tends to take on a life of its own.

However, at the same time, leading this kind of workplace is also harder, particularily for those of us that are compelled to control the uncontrollable. (smile).

Most of us have clear ideas about what should happen and not happen in organisations and our reponsibilites as leaders within the...

For me work bridges the gap between the spiritual and the rational in each of us. A gap that is continualy looking for wholeness and completion.

 Spirit is the fire within each and everyone of us that ignites us with passion, purpose, love, energy and courage. This fire lives in us and sets us alive and ablaze when we are near our work - not just our job or career but a personal calling or purpose that is spiritually and emotionally...

Spirituality, distinct from religion is a challenging topic because it can be a very importand part of religion in its pure form.

Respectfully discussing the spiritual nature of people without invading the realm of personal religious freedom or being perceived as been trying to convert someone to a sectarian religion is even more challenging.

If spirituality isn't necessarily religion, then what is it? How does it look, sound and fee...

I believe there are two paths of leadership - the path of fear and the path of Courage and Heart. Heart Leadership where people are connected though spirit, joy and passion in their work.

To follow the path of Heart Leadership takes courage it's where we challenge old assumptions that may keep us from discovering new posibilites. We look at similar situations and explore with others how it will be different this time. We balance the...

Leaders who lead from the heart have a high level of self-awareness.They know who they are at their core - the good, the bad and the ugly. They don't crave for new things to do like a drug that keeps parts of themselves in wee boxes - let's explore....

Is failing to prepare the death call of transformational leadership?

Yes, but not in the manner you may be accustomed to. The planning I’m recommending is the planning for undergoing the individual transformation required to lead the organisational transformation you're looking for - for your personal and professional life.

People at work or in your personal life who have achieved something extraordinary and who live lives known as r...

From time to time you’ll find that what you’re doing is no longer working. I have worked with technology executives for many years. One of the hardest things they have had to do is leave behind  the  enjoyment of the technical side of their work.

They entered the technology field because of an enjoyment or skill in what they are doing and have become enamoured with the intricacies of their technology. Although loving what you do and...

Living a purposeful life and not an accidental life - accidental doesn’t mean accidental in the sense  that your leadership and life are mere accidents. But what I find with that with nearly every executive and entrepreneur I’ve ever worked with is that the demands of their work are inhibiting them from designing the leadership and life that allows them to flourish. 

The reality is that your transformational leadership journey will ...

Every transformational leader wants to do compelling, meaningful great work, and they see their leadership purpose as the starting point for doing this. Yet, they can grind to a halt at a barrier.

Leaders who are successful and satisfied have learned how to address the four most common barriers that inhibit them from accomplishing their purpose. By understanding these leadership barriers, leaders are better prepared to overcome the ...

We continue our exploration of the principle of Perseverance and look at the "Tortoise and the hare" within organisations.

The tortoise represents that part of our work and  professional lives that can only be accomplished with perseverance and a protective outer shell. The destination is clear and in focus, but it comes forward in baby steps. The hare represents the fast-twitch muscles required to get out of the blocks fast, but th...

I and my colleagues have found in our coaching and consulting work that when it comes to transformational performance, talent is overrated and perseverance is underestimated. 

Perseverance is prominently displayed in the world of politics, business, and sports. Serena Williams once said about success, “Luck has nothing to do with it, because I have spent many, many hours, countless hours, on the court working for my one moment in ti...

This may be the  shortest podcast in our journey exploring transformational leadership. However, it may have the longest shelf life.

The diary grooming process is an ultra-short (five minute) process of reviewing your day as a transformational leader. It is a process of finding the areas of your leadership that are going well and accentuating them, along with the areas that are not going well and reducing or eliminating them. It's a...
