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.
"Sinclair takes us on a journey of leadership based on mindful principles which hold out great hope that leaders can live more purposeful, healthful and joyful lives along with those they lead."
Alan Guskin, Antioch University
"For all people whose work involves influencing what people think or do-teachers, community leaders, health professionals, as well as 'bosses."
