Leading Mindfully: How to Focus on What Matters, Influence for Good, and Enjoy Leadership More

by Amanda Sinclair

This book shows how mindfulness is helpful for all of us involved in the day-to-day of leadership, in those interactions in organizations, communities, schools, and families where we are seeking to influence others toward positive outcomes. Incorporating user-friendly summaries of the latest neuro-scientific and leadership research, it invites us to experiment with 20 mindful practices—none of which take extra time or require us to withdraw to a mountain cave. In a world where we regularly feel captured by a never-ending to-do list, expanding demands, and depleted energies, this is a practical, simple, and powerful path to leadership that is not only sustainable but full of delights and pleasures.

This just does not work for or appeal to me. This book may be a good primer for people who are new to mindfulness, but it comes across as simple and self-congratulatory to me.
