Ep. 44 - Moving Towards Conscious Leadership: Melissa Griffiths

The 1 to ONE Thing

Welcome to the show!

Melissa Griffiths, discusses her work in conscious leadership, empathy, and managing stress in the workplace.

Her focus has evolved from just addressing stress in the workplace to promoting conscious leadership, which involves leading with empathy, bringing your whole self to work, and fostering a people-centric culture.

Research shows that leading with empathy and prioritizing employees positively impacts employee satisfaction, retention, attraction, and ultimately, the bottom line.

Stress is not just a negative force; it can also manifest as positive energy (eustress). The key is recognizing when stress becomes distress and pulls you off-centre.

Authentic leadership involves understanding your values, emotions, and how you show up at work. It's about striking a balance between vulnerability and maintaining authority.

The rise of conscious leadership and embracing emotional intelligence is a shift towards integrating traditionally "feminine" qualities into leadership, creating a more balanced approach.

The ONE Thing::

Conscious leadership is not just a fluffy concept; it has tangible benefits for organizations. By leading with empathy, vulnerability, and a people-centric approach, leaders can foster a culture that attracts and retains top talent, improves employee satisfaction, and ultimately drives business success. As Melissa emphasized, prioritizing employees is not just the right thing to do; it's also a smart business strategy.
