Description



Book Synopsis



Become a true leader through Mindfulness

If you thought leading a team or organization meant simply creating and implementing a financial plan, delegating responsibility, and watching the bottom line, well, you're only partly right. True leadership comes from within, a place of deep calm and focus, that allows you to respond to any situation as it arises. In Mindful Leadership, you'll learn how to draw on those inner reserves through Mindfulness Meditation, a tool you can use to achieve focus and clarity, reduce stress, and develop the presence of mind to meet any number of challenges.

The book opens up a world of meditation exercises that can be done anywhere, anytime (no chanting or patchouli required!) and that are the gateway to improved judgment and decision making, improved time management, enhanced team effectiveness, greater productivity, and more on-the-job inspiration and innovation.

  • Details the nine ways in which leaders can incorporate Mindfulness into every aspect of their lives
  • Illustrates how meditation and business actually do mix
  • Essential for anyone interested in anticipating and serving client needs
  • The author coaches executives throughout North America and is quoted widely in the media

Offering essential skills for both life and work, Mindful Leadership shows how it's possible to successfully lead a team, an entire organization--or just yourself.

BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Leadership

Mindful Leadership

Meditation and Business Do Mix...Scented Candles Not Required

Effective leaders are self aware and empower those they influence to achieve their potential. Mindful Leadership is a guide to leadership that starts with the self--for business people, members of the public service, professionals, and anyone else in a position to influence others.

Maria Gonzalez shows you how to use a single tool--Mindfulness meditation--to achieve clarity, focus, and self-awareness, enabling you to transform yourself and achieve positive results by inspiring those you lead. In this book, you will learn how to use mindfulness to:

  • Achieve greater concentration and productivity
  • Reduce the stresses in your life and manage those that remain
  • Become resilient and sustain high performance over the long term
  • Anticipate and serve stakeholder needs, communicate better, and increase team effectiveness
  • Stay focused on what matters and remain levelheaded about what you can't control
  • Create calm and focus, see clearly under stressful conditions, and make better decisions

Mindfulness is a process of training the mind that anyone can follow, and Mindful Leadership provides simple techniques you can use anytime, anywhere, to improve yourself as a leader. Beginning with the simple act of being fully present, mindfulness opens up the 9 ways to become more effective in every aspect of life.
