Abstract

Because mindfulness practice focuses on how leaders use their attention, this is not just another construct that stands alongside many other weapons of leadership research and practice, it is both a perspective and a systematic method that helps leaders understand better and transform their own minds. Such an inner transformation changes both the way a leader sees the world and the way he acts and the results of his actions. In leadership, Mindfulness has a strong impact in managing stress, cultivating empathy, making better decisions in less time, innovative actions. It is important to understand that mindfulness is extremely efficient in developing attention and cognitive control, emotional self-regulation and reducing reactivity, all of which are essential for an effective adaptation to change and innovation with minimal energy and time consumption. Thus, it is desirable for the field of leadership to manifest a greater openness to the principles, methods and tools of mindfulness.
