Conscious Leadership

There is a leadership crisis worldwide. We believe Conscious Leadership and the four Essential Qualities are the solution.

Percent of leaders think they do a good job of engaging their people

Percent of employees say their leaders do a poor job of engagement

Percent of employees would forgo a pay raise to get their boss fired

Percent of employees say they trust strangers more than their own boss

Why Conscious Leadership?

The world is facing a global leadership crisis, from ineffective leadership development initiatives to a lack of trust and sincere appreciation in the workplace, and so much more. Conscious Leadership is a movement towards leadership characterised by self-awareness, personal authenticity, and service to others. It’s a way of leading people and organizations forward, all while maintaining humanity at the core. Balance Potential highlights four key traits essential to Conscious Leadership:

Self-awareness. Insight > Foresight. Service to others. Compassion.

The Conscious Leadership movement is sweeping the globe, and Balance Potential is committed to sharing it in Hong Kong. In 2017 we launched the Conscious Leadership Series, a public forum where international thought leaders, senior executives, management consultants, academics, and other professionals come together to learn and discuss. It is a platform that facilitates the sharing of knowledge, growth, inspiration and connection, and equips us with tools and insights for developing tomorrow's leaders.

Check out some of the highlights from previous CLS events and see what's in store for 2019.
