Who Are You Being as a Leader? Discovering the Power of Ontology

Our work on Leaders Team is guided by ontology, which is the study of being. We’ve found that most people consider leadership as a position but fail to consider who they are being or how, who they are being, This unexamined notion of “being as a leader” limits their ability to truly inspire and impact their team. However, when leaders discover the world who they are being and intentionally shape how they show up, they access transformational leadership and become more valuable for organizations.

Who you are being is said to be constituted by what matters to you in any given situation and environment. What matters to you in any situation may not be something you are conscious to, or aware of, at any given moment and it is mostly unexamined. Most people who have not been in an ontological inquiry just think this is just me.

In our ontological inquiry we discover that the medium of language drives these experiences of being a YOU.  Thus, what you say to yourself, and the feelings connected to these conversations give who you are being. What first gets revealed by this inquiry is patterns of thinking, acting and planning from the past leave you on an automatic cycle of habits, emotional states and perceptions and then we think that this automatic way of being is really who we are. In an ontological inquiry you discover that you see and experience the world from these automatic patterns and how you see the world is made up in language.  In leadership, this means who you are being as a leader creates the world you and your team experience.

How ‘Being as a Leader’ Shapes Your Impact

For instance, if you were in a situation when you were young and in a moment of upset and you said, “I am not important” or “I don’t need you.” Undistinguished you could live out of those conversations, and they will limit you as a leader. It becomes the world that you listen and speak from while leading.

Living as Your Created Word: Redefining Being as a Leader. This discovery allows for the awareness and recognition of what I say to myself and to others really matters.  The quality of my private conversations about myself and others gives my view of what is possible and predictable in my leadership. It now also reveals the possibility of living as a created word as a leader rather than living out patterns from the past that may not work in today’s circumstances. Living as your created word as a leader becomes a new context from which to view the world, others and even yourself.

Our organization stands for this discovery opening a new level of power and effectiveness for leaders. We develop leaders to create and live as their created word which becomes access to new openings for action and results. Become a transformational leader and you will be that valued asset in your organization.

Your ability to lead is directly connected to who you are being as a leader. By understanding and transforming the language and patterns shaping your identity, you open doors to unparalleled possibilities. This journey to self-awareness and authenticity creates a ripple effect of positive change in your organization. Are you ready to embrace the power of being as a leader?
