Review of Charlotte's latest video from Sucessful Meetings
Leadership: Conscious Oversight with Charlotte Roberts
|
Managers need a grand vision if they're going to lead their workers in the next century. In this informative video, longtime training consultant Charlotte Roberts maintains that so-called conscious oversite is the key to that grand vision.
Roberts, taking a page from Peter M. Senge's best-seller The Fifth Discipline, deems conscious oversight the "sixth discipline" of leadership. It means being able to see ourselves within larger contexts: our particular department, the company, the overall industry, the country, the global economy, and so forth. It also calls on the ability to use past traditions, current information, and future trends to make decisions that will benefit today's generations.
According to Roberts, conscious oversight comprises six themes, or intelligences. The first three, although basic, are worth revisiting: fiscal intelligence (understanding the flow of assets within the organization or household): social intelligence (sensing and enhancing relationships with coworkers, family, or friends); and noetic intelligence (engaging in productive conversation). The next three are fairly recent innovations: Emotional intelligence (the sense of fear or confidence that sets the emotional tone for an organization); environmental intelligence (paying heed to safety, design, comfort, aesthetics, and a good neighbor policy); and spiritual intelligence. Ideally, someone with conscious oversight would strive for mastery of all six areas.
Charlotte Roberts is an enthusiastic speaker on a topic that's sure to inspire employees at all levels, from trainees to team leaders to CEOs.
