What is a Mindful Leader?

According to leading business journals, common pitfalls of leaders include: Being reactive vs. proactive, avoiding conflict, treating people like machines, micromanaging, as well as, underestimating the importance of communication, listening, and emotional intelligence. However, studies also reveal common success factors of an effective leader. Successful leaders have “breakthrough thinking” and place emphasis on opportunities rather than solving problems. They focus first on interpersonal relationships, effective communication, and allocate time for training and development. They also use a democratic vs. command-and-control approach. Mindfulness Meditation is a tool for leaders to support the above-mentioned success factors and build individual and collective:

  • Wellness and Resilience
  • Relationships and Collaboration
  • Performance and Leadership.
