Integrating Self, Shadow & System at Synergist
The proportion of executive leaders at Synergist (Strategist/Transforming) seems to have stalled at <10% for almost 3 decades. Yet this level of leadership capacity or consciousness is essential to transcend VUCA and transform our business ecosystems to create a more sustainable, healthy, and equitable world. We also understand that embodied leadership capacity at Synergist is […]
7Ps of Conscious Business: an Integral Framework
