Episode #66 Reimagine Leadership: Leading Above the Line
Rise Leaders
Summary
As part of the Reimagine Leadership limited series, this is the first episode where we dig into content that we actually threaded throughout the program I developed for the Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas. Jim Fallon is an Executive Coach for The Conscious Leadership Group and a Strategic Advisor for many organizations. He spent decades as an executive for many organizations across various industries, which I feel results in a very grounded pragmatism in his approach. We talk about the book, The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership, and specifically about the organizing principle of the book: leading above and below the line.
Takeaways & Talking Points
Jim’s wake up call and why he transitioned from CEO to Executive Coach and Strategic Advisor.
The important distinction between content and context.
Another Big Idea of the book: To Me, By Me, Through Me, As Me.
A great description of Locating Yourself (above or below the line).
The power, and necessity of accepting ourselves when we find that we are ‘below the line’ (which happens regularly for most of us).
Jim does a walkthrough of the 15 Commitments with lots of context.
Try the novel and playful approach for teaching others how to get the results you DON’T want – another way that CLG has made this content easier to take in.
Jim gets vulnerable and provides a personal example of taking Radical Responsibility, which is Commitment #1.
