Abstract

The article focuses on the concept of leadership's hidden curriculum, which refers to the unspoken lessons learned from early life experiences that shape an individual's leadership style and effectiveness. It emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and personal development through a continuous cycle of three stages: Reconnect, Refocus, and Regenerate. The author argues that understanding these stages can help leaders move from unconscious patterns to conscious purpose, ultimately fostering more resilient and human-centered organizations, especially in an AI-driven world. The article encourages leaders to engage in self-coaching practices to enhance their leadership impact and create healthier organizational cultures. [Extracted from the article]
