| Abstract | This article focuses on the application of mindfulness in work environments and in leadership – an area that has been much less widely documented. How might mindful practices improve leadership and in turn, benefit the culture and productivity of workplaces? In what follows, I summarise some key research findings about outcomes of mindfulness (see for example (Allen, Chambers et al. 2006; Shapiro, Carlson et al. 2006; Hölzel, Lazar et al. 2011). In addition however, and on the basis of teaching, research and leadership development with my colleague Richard Searle, this article describes our observations and the feedback we get from people about how ideas of mindfulness change their leadership and lives. While many of us with a strong research or academic orientation are pers귭 by the scientific evidence – the controlled trials that involve interventions and measured follow ups that show the impact of mindfulness on outcomes – often Buddhists maintain that one should only change one's approach on the basis of personal experience and testing. I admit to putting myself in the latter camp and I know that I, and others, are very deeply moved by and inspired to change ourselves, from the direct personal accounts of others. |
