Seven characteristics of Deeper Leaders

Deeper Leaders are...
 

1. Rooted in their values and purpose
   - knowing what matters most and where they stand on key issues. They lead with a sense of direction and with ethical and moral clarity, proven in crises
    

2. Growing in awareness of their 'light' and their 'shadow' 
   - their 'signature strengths', their vulnerabilities and the impact of these on their leadership
    

3. Humble and curious
   - always listening, learning, seeking dialogue, knowing that their wisdom and understanding is never complete
    

4. Discovering, and expressing, their 'Voice'
   - living out their unique contribution, with a growing awareness of the difference only they can make and a sense of the legacy they want to leave
    

5. Enabling the leadership of others
   - helping others find and express their 'Voice' at work and in the wider world
    

6. Striving to lead with love
   - holding love as a universal human need that enables others to make their best contribution, while accepting that sometimes love must be tough
    

7. Globally responsible
   - seeking to lead their lives and their organisations as active contributors to a fairer, kinder and more sustainable world
