Creating Conscious Leadership

Scott Brickman is the recently retired Chairman and CEO of the Brickman Group, the largest commercial landscape maintenance firm in the US. Mr. Brickman has received many awards, including Ernst and Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year Award and the Society of Financial Professionals National Capital Business Ethics Award. He also serves as a board member and advisor to many professional organizations, and he and his wife, Patrice, assist a variety of philanthropic causes.

In his talk, Mr. Brickman refers to the “15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership,” an approach developed by Jim Dethmer and his colleagues. Conscious leadership organizations focus on long-term results rather than short-term profits. Consequently, they value team performance, compassion and caring, training and development, and transparency. Mr. Brickman sees the potential the TM technique has for both conscious leaders and employees.

The video concludes with a summary by Dr. Scott Herriott, co-chair of Maharishi University of Management’s Department of Business Administration. “Mr. Brickman showed the students that outer success is based on inner development.”
