Mindfulness-Based Leadership: The Art of Being a Leader - Not Becoming One Quotes

“With wisdom, we recognise that our employees, members, owners, customers, shareholders, suppliers, creditors, society and other stakeholders are after all people just like us. All of them are seeking this wholeness through so many endeavours, ideas, activities, relationships, etc. Recognising this universal fact allows us to respond with compassion.”

“The first misconception that people hold is that a mindful person should have no expectations. However, this expectation of not having an expectation is itself unreasonable and goes against our fundamental nature. The issue, therefore, is not with expectations but how we deal with the results.”

“In mindfulness, awareness can be thought of as one’s core, which is being. This awareness can also be thought of as a witness or witnessing consciousness, sometimes also called metacognition. It is in this awareness that all cogitations and actions arise.”

“A mindful leader looks at his being (witnessing consciousness or awareness) as the substratum on which he plays his leadership role. Sometimes he succeeds, sometimes he does not. Sometimes he is the manager, then he might become a follower. But his awareness remains unchanged.”

“Being a leader is only one of many roles you might play. You also play personal roles such as a sibling, parent, child, spouse, grandparent, etc. all of these roles depend on you for their existence. But what mindfulness shows us is that your awareness can be independent of these roles.”

“Mindfulness cannot be practised in a cave. It requires active interaction with the world in the present. The place where you are is the place where you are meant to be and that is where you experiment. Your home, workplace and the society you live in is your mindfulness gym.”

“Doing depends on being, but being does not necessarily depend on doing. This relationship is key to Mindfulness-Based Leadership as we act from mindfulness and its practices and insights. It is mindfulness practices that inform action, not the other way round.”

“Leading with mindfulness is ideally facilitative in nature rather than prescriptive. Your leadership uses awareness as its compass. A compass never tells you anything about the destination. All that it does is to show you the direction. But a compass is of no use without a destination.”
