Conscious Leadership

Elevating Humanity Through Business

By: John Mackey, Steve Mcintosh, Carter Phipps

Narrated by: Paul Michael

A WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER!

From Whole Foods CEO John Mackey and his coauthors, a follow-up to groundbreaking bestseller Conscious Capitalism—revealing what it takes to lead a purpose-driven, sustainable business.

John Mackey started a movement when he founded Whole Foods, bringing natural, organic food to the masses and not only changing the market, but breaking the mold. Now, for the first time, Conscious Leadership closely explores the vision, virtues, and mindset that have informed Mackey’s own leadership journey, providing a roadmap for innovative, value-based leadership—in business and in society.

Conscious Leadership demystifies strategies that have helped Mackey shepherd Whole Foods through four decades of incredible growth and innovation, including its recent sale to Amazon. Each chapter will challenge you to rethink conventional business wisdom through anecdotes, case studies, profiles of conscious leaders, and innovative techniques for self-development, culminating in an empowering call to action for entrepreneurs and trailblazers—to step up as leaders who see beyond the bottom line.

Go Beyond the Obvious

Really enjoyed the book and the insightful look into longevity in leadership. It lays the foundation for true leadership by encouraging those interested in making a real difference to go beyond the basic thoughts on leading. Lead by example, it’s what you do and not what you say you will do. Seek your own information and draw your own conclusions, which may be the most important lesson because we currently live in a world of meaningless “noise makers” and blind emotional decision making based on one’s chosen side of an argument or issue. Finally, seeking scenarios and solutions where everyone involved wins is vital to continued success of an organization. Conscious Leadership is a must-read for anyone who seriously wants to unlock their true leadership potential.

Amazing Book!

Filled with actionable insights that apply to business and life. Highly recommend this book for all leaders.

A DECENT LISTEN

While not as good as the first book there are some insights found here. A lot of rehash and some foofoo filler stuff but if you have nine hours to burn and want to dive in to some managment theory you certainly could find worst picks.

Really enjoyed the perspective!

Would recommend to anyone interested in any leadership roll, big or small! Great insight from very wise men!

great book. informative and objective without much in the way of nonsense. worth a read even if your not a perspective leader.
