Findings
Mindfulness and the application of mindful practice can have a powerful impact on leadership. Being mindful and taking the time to be present and aware in one’s daily work can make a significant difference to both employees and organizations. Scientific research into how brains function and the neuroscience of attention shows that mindfulness and mindful practice increase awareness and enhance our emotional intelligence. Mindful leaders are perceived as more self-aware and empathetic, and can more effectively motivate their employees and colleagues to achieve the goals and vision of an institution.
Practical implications
The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.
Originality/value
