Mindful Leadership

 
 
 
I read a very interesting article the other day about a hands-on guide written by a Harvard Business School graduate: Hsiang-Yi Lin.
 
It is "step-by-step practical guide that helps overwhelmed, overstretched achievers find personal fulfillment and professional sustainability – while gaining a leadership edge"
Other interesting ideas in the article:
- "the scientific linkage between mindfulness and personal effectiveness is well tested"
- "a sustainable solution to help them navigate today’s ever-changing, increasingly complex world"
- "Unlike others in its genre, A Practical Guide to Authentic Leadership takes a perspective of integration and alignment rather than of compartmentalization and of sustainability rather than of alleviation."
- "book helps readers build “leadership muscles” and offers targeted and actionable tips to the most common and pressing leadership pain points, such as:
  • Leading Change
  • Managing Self in Difficult Times
  • Building a Shared Vision
  • Breaking Down Myopic Thinking and Organizational Silos
  • Aligning Teams
  • Cultivating a Learning Culture"
About the author, Hsiang-Yi Lin:
- Harvard Business School graduate,
- 12+ years of corporate leadership experience and coaching expertise, from Fortune 500 companies such as FedEx, Yahoo, and Intuit where she led and grew businesses and teams in the capacity of strategic marketing, product development, and research and analytics.

Quote by the author: “As personal and professional boundary fades and change becomes the norm in business, leaders must incorporate mindfulness in the way they lead to sustainably meet the increasingly complex leadership challenges.”
