(Maria Gonzalez) Mindful Leadership: The 9 Ways toSelf-Awareness, Transforming Yourself, and Inspiring Others.
Leaders
searching for solutions often adopt whatever style is currently in vogue;
however, then they cease to be Authentic.
This inevitably leads to inconsistent decisions, confusion, and
dissatisfied stakeholders who recognize that the leader is hiding behind a
façade. On the other hand, mindfulness
can help leaders to remain focused on what really matters to them and their
companies and stakeholders. This allows
them to lead from a place of authenticity.
Mindful leadership entails being aware of one’s internal-compass. It enables a leader to respond to a situation
as it arises, to respond to reality-of-constant-change from a place of calm and
focus, and to have the presence-of-mind to face reality of any situation. A mindful leader is clear in his or her
communication, and those he or she leads know that decisions are made from a
place of awareness, integrity, and courage.
A mindful leader inspires others to greatness, to achieve beyond their
expectations.
