It has been said that good leadership is the key to building great organizations. While that has certainly been true in the past, we will need an even more effective leaders to build the leading businesses of the future. This new leader will be a more Conscious Leader. A Conscious Leader sees the world more as it is rather than how it has been. The Conscious Leader sees the connectedness of all things and people and manages his or her business accordingly. Here are the Four New Agreements that will integral to more Conscious Leadership (from David Dibble's book, The New Agreements in the Workplace).

The Four New Agreements for the Conscious Leader:

1. Find Your Purpose - Every human being is here for a purpose. When the Conscious Leader is clear in his higher purpose for work, his mind will begin to "pull" the purpose and vision to him. Conscious Leadership many times starts with clarity on one's higher purpose for work.

2. Love, Grow and Serve Your People - The Conscious Leader knows that the workplace is a living being. The life force that makes an organization a living being comes from the life energy of its people. In essence, people are the organization; they are the business. When we love our people, we love our work. When we grow our people, we grow the organization. When we serve our people, we serve the organization. In serving others, we serve ourselves, too. This focus on loving, growing and serving our people puts our people in the best position to love, grow and serve our customers. People, including customers will be drawn to organizations operating in this way.

3. Be a System Thinker - It's very important for a Conscious Leader to be aware of the critical role systems thinking plays in setting employees up for success. 90% of the results produced in the workplace are a result of the formal and informal systems in which people operate, not the efforts of the people. In addition, we can expect that 20% of the systems account for 80% of the results produced, both good and not so good. Conscious Leaders must focus efforts on the critical 20% of the systems that will give the organization 80% of the return/measurable success.

4. Practice a Little Every Day - Like any new skill set, Conscious Leaders must practice on a regular basis to master the new and make it into something she does naturally at work. Practice is Art. We become what we practice. Organizations become what they practice. Conscious Leaders will have a daily practice to quiet the mind.

The Four New Agreements are a roadmap for transformation of traditional unconscious leadership at work. Any leader or manager can learn these simple, practical guidelines and apply them in the workplace and at home. The Four New Agreements work!
