The Conscious Leadership Key to Thriving Organisations
Arguably one the most important feature of Conscious Leadership is moving beyond zero-sum games and promoting win-win-win situations through honest communication and mutual benefit. This episode of DEI After 5, featuring Sasha Thompson and Marika Messager, emphasises the importance of shifting away from a ‘zero-sum game’ mentality, where one person’s gain is perceived as another’s loss. Instead, it advocates for creating ‘win-win-win’ scenarios where everyone benefits.
Achieving this requires open and honest communication, a ‘conversation of Truth,’ to understand everyone’s needs and ensure compatibility. This approach emphasises mutual benefit, moving away from manipulative tactics and promoting genuine gains for all involved. Ultimately, this shift requires a systemic change in how we interact with one another.
