Mindful Leadership
A mindful leader is someone who embodies leadership presence by cultivating awareness, focus, creativity at work and connection with others. We can relate to mindful leaders deeply as they have an amazing charisma and presence. However, we often fall short of our potential to embody leadership presence because we live in a world that surrounds us with unlimited distractions. These distractions pull us away from the present moment and keep us from listening to our own wisdom.
Mindful leadership practices teaches the leaders to understand themselves better, the strong pull to react, the mind’s propensity to narrow focus when under stress, and allowing them to respond to situations with much more choices.
These innate capabilities of the mind — focus, clarity, connection and creativity — can be trained and strengthened. Just as there are innate capabilities of our body that we can train to become stronger, more flexible and more resilient, we can train the innate capabilities of the mind through mindfulness meditation, pauses, catching ourself when in automatic mode and with leadership reflections.
When people talk about how their choices change when they take a purposeful pause, or how their ability to see their own filters and ‘meaning making minds’ helps them to find clarity and focus in the midst of the chaos, other people become intrigued.
