Conscious leadership focuses on building a culture of “we” rather than a culture of “me.” While it sounds simple, it’s far from easy. Here are some principles to help you become a more conscious leader.

If project managers are to succeed, they must have relationships built on trust and respect. But how many of us can say that we truly have that? Trust isn’t a binary thing; it isn’t there or missing. There are degrees of trust, and all project managers need to be aware of that.
Project management doesn’t have to be a by-the-books, process-driven approach to work. Even in highly structured environments, there’s room for—and benefits to—a little personality.
There are many characteristics of complex projects that could cause concern. Here are four example characteristics that members of your project team may face—with help on how to respond as an empathetic leader.

Here are four ways PMs can ensure they are able to effectively contribute on each occasion they are invited to collaborate.
What separates great PMs from good ones? What skills are the real difference makers, and how can we perfect them? Find out how to leap tall dependencies in a single bound!
