Monthly Leadership Value: Inclusion
"Knowledge is Power" has been the mantra of upwardly mobile leaders: Keeping knowledge to oneself assured economic and personal success. This mantra no longer serves our global society. Today, a new definition arises: shared power equals community success.
The Time is Here
It is time to put our ego-based, scarcity mindset to rest, and awaken our collective common sensibility to work together from a place of abundance; and wise sharing of our precious resources. It is time to bring our creative energies and talents together to build dignified, humane places for people to live and work. It is time to work from a place of unity and opportunity, not scarcity and fear. And it is time for authentic, inclusive leaders who are committed to building people up and working together to take center stage, united. These times are not dismal; rather they are wonderfully complex, offering rich opportunities to work together. It is time to remember we live within a connected system of human relations, not as individuals who hold knowledge exclusively to be 'powerful' but as One Power Full community.
Why Be Inclusive? (aka, 'what's in it for me'?)
Inclusive leaders know that teaching, sharing, and building individual and organizational fitness make everyone successful. When knowledge is shared, it opens the doors for new opportunities to learn and grow. Leaders who hold onto knowledge thinking that they have supreme power usually expend more energy trying to hold onto it than is healthy. Open your hearts and minds to others and embrace this call to inclusive, authentic leadership. Do it today!
