Ep. 157 - Mindful Leadership with Cheri Ruskus The Bright Shiny Object Project
-
- Entrepreneurship
“It's the leadership that allows for all to be heard that makes the greatest positive impact,” explains host and business coach Cheri Ruskus. Everyone has a different idea of what it means to be a leader and the most effective leaders are the ones who create an environment where everyone has the freedom to speak their truth and show up as their authentic selves. Today, Cheri shares responses from readers of her weekly Victory Letter to the question, “What does freedom mean to you?” Afterward, she guides listeners through a leadership meditation to encourage people to begin thinking more mindfully about their own personal interpretations of leadership and how to be a leader in a way that enables others to experience freedom.
When leaders are mindful of what freedom means for them and their team, they can create a work environment that aligns with everyone’s values. Everyone wants to feel that they are valued and appreciated at work, especially by those in leadership positions. One way to ensure that people feel heard is to learn what freedom means to them and then lead with those things in mind. Although ideas on freedom vary, the overarching response from readers showed that for the majority, freedom means the ability to speak and live your truth without fear of repercussions.
As a leader, you set the tone for your work culture. When you lead mindfully from a place of respect for everyone’s personal values and ideas of freedom, you create a healthy, more productive and positive work environment for all.
