Leading Mindfully: How to Focus on What Matters, Influence for Good, and Enjoy Leadership More

This book shows how mindfulness is helpful for all of us involved in the day-to-day of leadership, in those interactions in organizations, communities, schools, and families where we are seeking to influence others toward positive outcomes. Incorporating user-friendly summaries of the latest neuro-scientific and leadership research, it invites us to experiment with 20 mindful practices—none of which take extra time or require us to withdraw to a mountain cave. In a world where we regularly feel captured by a never-ending to-do list, expanding demands, and depleted energies, this is a practical, simple, and powerful path to leadership that is not only sustainable but full of delights and pleasures.
