Leadership Begins With the Mind

In this unprecedented moment, it’s time for leaders to unlearn management as they’ve always known it and relearn how to be human. Potential Project helps executives to adopt a whole new playbook for leadership.

The Inner Playbook

The world has shifted, and nothing will go back to the way it was. A new future awaits. Ahead lies an opportunity to reshape ourselves, our leadership and our organizations into something very different.

But, how do leaders move forward with all that has been irreversibly changed?

Leadership for this moment requires a new playbook. And, this playbook starts inside, with the mind. When you learn how your mind works, and how to rewire it for agility, compassion, courage and openness, you can reimagine the future and the possibilities.

IKEA is one of the most well-known consumer brands in the world. For years, their commitment to the health and happiness of their people has been front and center, an integral part of their business strategy. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in the Spring of 2020, IKEA became a stand-out example of acting with urgency, agility and courage during a time of instability and uncertainty.

When we talk about leadership, the perception is that it's off to the side, separate from the results. We have to manage people and lead them, but we don't always marry those two things together. The data shows that if you can balance doing hard things in a human way, retention goes up, and performance improves. I realized that this was the direction we needed to take. Compassion is not merely about being nice. It's not about being soft as a leader.

Leadership Programs

Potential Project’s Leadership Programs don’t tell leaders how to lead or teach traditional managerial strategies. We help you to unlock new leadership from within by building a mind that is open, wise, compassionate, and courageous.

The Inner Playbook for Human Leadership

Based on research with over 35,000 senior leaders across the globe, The Inner Playbook outlines a new model of leadership based on the fundamental skills of mindfulness, selflessness and compassion.

The Inner Playbook for Compassionate Leadership

Compassionate leadership improves collaboration, deepens trust, and builds a sense of stability. But it’s not easy. The Inner Playbook helps leaders to skillfully balance the need to do hard things with support for the well-being of their people.

The Inner Playbook for Leadership in a Crisis

Leadership through uncertainty requires nimble pivots and difficult decisions. It means moving quickly and deftly, even while looking into an uncertain future. The Inner Playbook builds the mental agility that this kind of leadership demands.

In the evolving AI landscape, leaders must navigate employee emotions and embrace technology while honing human leadership qualities. The Inner Playbook guides leaders through the journey of becoming an AI-augmented Human Leader.
