Articles I Loved Reading
In "Spotting Reactivity Early: A Guide for Conscious Leaders," Jim Dethmer emphasizes the importance of recognizing and addressing subtle reactive patterns in leadership. He suggests that conscious leadership isn't about never experiencing reactivity but about noticing it early and responding with awareness.
Dethmer outlines three key steps for leaders to manage reactivity:
Recognize Patterns of Reactivity: Regularly ask yourself, "Where am I?" to determine if you're operating from openness and curiosity (above the line) or from defensiveness and fear (below the line). This self-awareness helps identify habitual reactive patterns.
Learn the Language of Your Body: The body often signals reactivity before the mind acknowledges it. Physical cues like shallow breathing, muscle tension, or a clenched jaw can indicate a shift into reactivity. By tuning into these sensations, leaders can address reactivity at its onset.
Increase Capacity for Flow: Engage in activities that promote presence and flow, such as practices that align with your passions or moments of stillness. This enhances the ability to remain present, making it easier to detect and manage subtle reactive shifts.
By integrating these practices, leaders can cultivate greater self-awareness, maintain presence, and navigate challenges with conscious responsiveness. READ
