When you are at peace with yourself, with your inner self, you are alive. When you are flexible in how you live your life, you are alive. You are living, not just existing.
That is how mindful leaders lead their lives. They focus on what is important to them. They are not after what is trending. They are after what is alive, not after what is popular.
According to Keren Tsuk, ‘A mindful leader is a leader who can go beyond the day-to-day activities and connect both to the broader picture and to higher purpose. This means cultivating the ability to be in being, at presence, to listening, and to pausing alongside our doing.’
‘Mindful leadership offers a holistic view that embodies a great deal of flexibility for employees and considers their personal needs.’
‘Organizational control is achieved through existential empowerment, through which employees bring their personal ways of work to the organizational space.’
‘Letting go of control means giving employees space and freedom of action to bring their uniqueness into play with their work.’
‘A key practice of leadership today is giving people room to realize themselves, room to deliver creative ideas and innovation.’
‘Confidence begins when people believe they are capable of coping with the challenges they face, even if they do not know how to face them.’
‘Self-awareness allows us to shift because it allows us to practice in a way that is fundamentally adaptable, cutting out the noise of everything else.’
‘Authentic human connection at work … holds people accountable in a way that a team does not; it allows us to step out of our characters and into ideas that are more valuable, more aligned with innovation.’
‘Mindful leadership … is characterized by an inward awareness of the self-awareness of the self and an outward awareness of a need for supporting the development of others.’
‘A mindful leader … is driven by service for the purpose of business and not only by motives of power or money.’
‘A growth mindset sees everything we do as another experience that allows growth and development as a leader.’
