MINDFULNESS IN LEADERSHIP

MIND-TRAINING FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE+WELLBEING (FOR SELF & OTHERS)

DAILY PRACTICES AND AD HOC INTERVENTIONS - “Practice the way you perform, and perform the way you practice.”

EMPATHY

Generating empathy and other-centricity (especially when it is difficult to do so)

Enhancing professional and personal relationships

Empathy is a cornerstone of mindful leadership. Leaders who practice empathy cultivate a deep ability to take on the perspective of the thoughts, and feelings of others. Practicing mindfulness includes extending our fondness for those we like to cultivate empathy for our rivals and associates who we find difficult to work with. This is an essential quality for effective leadership in larger organisations. When leaders are able to see things from their team members’ or colleagues’ perspectives, they are better able to understand their needs and motivations and can tailor their leadership behaviours and decisions to support them.
