How to be a conscious leader?
summary
Leadership advice grounded in practices and small experiments: a team lead of nine teams and 80 people reports using a live poll (about 60 poll responses) on slider.com, a cited capuchin fairness video to justify public credit, and a three-round attention game to show idea-blocking. Concrete rules: run short morning scrums to set priorities, take visible responsibility, give credit by name, ask Socratic alignment questions (“what do you want? does this help?”), favor data for decisions, speak last and listen more than talk.
