Conceptualisation of conscious leadership
Open accessAbstract
Conscious leadership is a recent construct, which we do not yet know much about. Most leaders already have their own way of management, which they often associate with their way of life. Thus, we know various ways of managing. A true conscious leader must be aware of his position and his mission, and must strive to be educated every day, work on his own consciousness, form his own context of life, try to perceive information from the surroundings, learn from life experiences, and closely monitor all the events around him. There are many ways to teach us how to become a good leader, and we ourselves need to figure out which theory and method of leadership best suits us and is most appropriate for us. In conscious leadership, we must first become self-aware. We must have a systemic insight, must be conscious of things and build on collective consciousness. Conscious guidance is a way of life that we build for years and years. A good conscious leader is the one who learns and improves daily until the end of his career and wants to leave a positive mark on the world. We will study what influences the level of conscious leadership, how it happens and how we can become a good conscious leader. We will achieve this through a critical review of secondary literature and a synthesis of relevant literature addressing this topic as well as literature dealing with a clarified narrow scientific field of conscious leadership and the effects of conscious leadership on followers in organisations. We will also create a conceptual model of conscious leadership.

From The Role of Conscious Leadership in Resolving Inter-Organizational Conflict: A Systematic Review and Conceptual Model (2025) · cites this paper as Marinčič and Marič, 2018
Sections 2.3 and 2.4 describe self-awareness, mindfulness, and systemic insight as elements of conscious leadership. They do not identify the claimed five attributes as an antecedent-level framework or report that those attributes appeared in 70–85% of the research; searches for the percentage and attribute list found no such passage.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
