Conscious leadership in a nutshell:

Conscious leaders are in tune with what is true about themselves, others, and life. During tough conversations they are often open, curious, and committed to learning. Team members feel safe to be their authentic selves, contribute value, and challenge status quo.

Unconscious leaders have a distorted perception of what is true and unresolved control patterns that elicit fear and mistrust in others. During tough conversations they are often closed, defensive, and committed to being right. Team members are more likely to hide their authentic self, less engaged, and more compliant with status quo.

Leaders are responsible for the interpersonal environment of their team.

Leaders are responsible for the interpersonal environment of their team—creating fear or psychological safety—which directly influences the behavior of individuals. Fear encourages impression management. Psychological safety encourages open and honest communication.
