Mindful Leader Quotes

“Leadership grows like tall trees. It needs both toughness and flexibility - toughness for accountability - flexibility to adapt changes with a compassionate & caring heart for self and others.”

“Mindful leaders consider themselves as a blank screen on which all their mental and physical activities take place. this is one reason why mindful leaders have greater resilience and control – they are detached observers rather than involved actors.”

“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.”

“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.”
