You’ll never see leadership the same way again after reading this book.These fifteen commitments are a distillation of decades of work with CEOs and other leaders. They are radical or provocative for many. They have been game changers for us and for our clients. We trust that they will be for you too.Our experience is that unconscious leadership is not sustainable. It won’t work for you, your team or your organization in the long term. Unconscious leadership can deliver short term results, but the costs of living and leading unconsciously are great.Fear drives most leaders to make choices that are at odds with healthy relationships, vitality and balance. This fear leaves a toxic residue that won’t be as easily tolerated in an increasingly complex business environment.Conscious leadership offers the antidote to fear. These pages contain a comprehensive road map to guide you to shift from fear-based to trust-based leadership. Once you learn and start practicing conscious leadership you’ll get results in the form of more energy, clarity, focus and healthier relationships. You’ll do more and more of what you are passionate about, and less of what you do out of obligation. You’ll have more fun, be happier, experience less drama and be more on purpose. Your team will get results as well. They’ll be more collaborative, creative, energized and engaged. They’ll solve issues faster, and once resolved the issues won’t resurface. Drama and gossip will all but disappear, and the energy and resources that fueled them will be redirected towards innovation and creativity.Any one of these commitments will change your life. All of them together are revolutionary. Leaders who practice the 15 commitments:· End blame and criticism· Speak candidly, openly and honestly, in a way that invites others to do the same· Find their unique genius· Let go of taking everything—especially themselves and their problems—so seriously· Create win for all solutions· Experience a new relationship to time and money where there is always enoughWhat do you need to bring to the table?Be curious.Sounds so simple, and yet in our experience it’s a skill few have mastered. Most of us are far more interested in being right and proving it, than we are in learning, growing and shifting out of our old patterns. By default we gravitate towards the familiar. We’re asking you to take a chance and explore the unfamiliar. You’ll get scared and reactive. We all do. So what? Just stay curious and let us introduce you to a whole new world of leadership.

Potent with pitfalls - plus a tip if you're on the fence
TIP - if you're on the fence go to the website at conscious.is/resources and watch some of the videos. Read some of the supporting content.I deeply appreciate this book and the concepts within. They are potent. I have been in a company where this was "socialized" among leadership and it didn't take even though it resonated deeply with me. I took it to my new company where I'm advocating for it and using it with my team. I've purchased the "shift deck" cards to get "unstuck." I have a friend that said in doing this work that they had more breakthroughs in 2 weeks than in 2 years of therapy. If as a parent you like "Whole Brain Child" or "The Yes Brain" you may find principles in here resonate with you.I agree with the top reviewer that it has pitfalls more regarding how people choose to implement the book than the contents of the book itself. It sounds like someone's spouse got ahold of this book and did what I'm often tempted to do which is bring my "management" stuff to the home front. That can backfire depending on the situation.One reviewer wrote that the authors create a sense of "shame" if you're not into it - you might read the picture attached and draw your own conclusion. I took a webinar and over a hundred people all took a quiz and almost all realized together that we weren't fully deeply ready to embrace this philosophy and there was no shame in that experience.In that webinar it was also stated that we should NOT go to whomever we're having drama with and say - hey, i have this book, you're so below the line, etc.I'm a fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Conscious Leadership will change how you do business and how you lead your life
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2017

There are so many things I love about the 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership. Since finding the book in February 2017, I have read it multiple times, and have been working to integrate the commitments into my practice as a coach and into my life on this planet. I notice my work with clients going deeper and having wider impact, and improvements in all of my relationships.

*Accessibility*
Every idea presented in this book is done in a manner that is easy to understand and easy to apply. Part I offers a simple model – a line that one can find oneself either above or below – that alone offers the potential for deep and lasting insight. The practice of locating oneself either above or below the line enables broader thinking and creates room to explore and potentially shift one’s mindset.

*A well-curated, well-organized gallery of ideas and principles*
The authors unabashedly draw on concepts and practices from the work of others (Hendricks Institute, Sedona Method, Byron Katie, Immunity to Change to name a few) to augment and support their own ideas.

*Not just for leaders, and not just for business*
Leaders absolutely benefit from the 15 Commitments. I have introduced it to clients in a variety of leadership roles, in a variety of organizations (tech, education, media). I also apply it to my own life and have found practices that have substantively improved my relationship with my stepchildren, and my communication with my husband, and other family members.

*Exercises and resources*
At then end of each chapter on the individual commitments there is a section, Practicing the Commitment, that offers ideas and exercises for building the commitment for yourself or in your organization. The authors also offer tools and videos at the Conscious Leadership Group website, Conscious.Is.

***Update November 2018***
My hard copy of The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership is well worn, marked up and tabbed. It has become my gift of choice for leaders of all kinds and I find myself referring to it regularly as a resource guide for exploring the different challenges my client (and I face). In the Audible version, Jim Dethmer's voice provides a warm invitation to dig in and explore.

5.0 out of 5 stars Single most transformative framework for personal growth that I've encountered
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2021
Verified Purchase
This book serves as a high-level overview of the frameworks and tools, written in a highly-accessible way, but is just a taste of how CLG can transform your life and work. CLG, like any set of robust tools for personal development, requires deep practice and dedication. I personally have never found a more powerful set of tools and frameworks than these. I use them in my marriage, in my company, and in my relationships with family and friends. As a result, my life has completely transformed in truly incredible ways.

I've read some reviews that have criticized CLG as promoting "selfishness / self-centered thinking and living" I personally have not struggled to do deep personal and inter-personal work using these tools while also engaging with empathy, care, and generosity. In fact, I've consistently found that practicing CLG has brought me deeper, more honest connection with the people around me because I'm able to approach situations from a place of true openness vs reactivity / threat. At the end of the day, CLG is a set of powerful tools and it is up to the practitioner about how they use them in their own life (this is true of many things, including technology and religions). For that reason, I would highly recommend only practicing deeply with someone who is co-committed to CLG. There are certain aspects of the tools you can use generally with folks who are not co-committed, like Integrity, Play, and Zone of Genius. Save the rest for folks who aren't afraid to get messy with you!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Starting point for a more actualized life
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2023
Verified Purchase
The 15 commitments are clear and the book provides various real world examples to exemplify the core values. Practicing them is much harder than reading about them, but some core concepts like “above” vs “below” the line thinking or “to me” vs “by me” helps identify first principles we can use to gut check how we react to situations day-to-day. I would recommend this book for anyone looking for a more actualized way to live, but like most self-help books, it is only the start. Thankfully the book ends with a number of resources to help take the next step!
