Are you aware of when your your motives pivot to needing to “Be right or righteous” vs being curious?

From a state of presence, leaders hold their positions lightly, with curiosity and a genuine desire to learn.

From a state of fear, leaders hold tightly to their ways of seeing an issue and the world. 

They are invested in being right and often rooted in righteousness. 

This keeps issues recycling in drama.


✴️ Exercise:
Think of an issue you’re dealing with today. 

👉🏿Can you see where you’re clinging tightly, wanting to be right about something?

👉🏿Would you be willing to be more interested in learning than in being right?


Exploring How Opposite of Your Story Might Be True:

👉🏿Conscious leaders choose over and over again to explore the possibility that the exact opposite of their story could be as true.

👉🏿Once they do this, conscious leaders step out of all the drama surrounding proving how right they are and start learning new things because they are actually curious instead of invested in their story about events.

✴️My favorite tool for exploring how the opposite of our story could be true is Byron Katie’s “The Work.” Use these simple steps to investigate your beliefs and free your mind -

Workload isn’t just about how much work people have, it’s about how work is experienced ⚖️

When workload is misaligned, the risks show up quickly: burnout, disengagement, and turnover. But equal task distribution isn’t the answer. 

⌛The McLean & Company  HR Guide to Measuring Workload outlines how to use workload measurement to uncover real challenges and apply targeted interventions that improve productivity, wellbeing, and engagement.
