Mindful Leadership in Action – Tip of the Week – Enlightened Leadership Is within Everyone’s Reach

Enlightened leadership is Mindful leadership. And what is Mindful leadership? It consists of 9 ways to self-awareness, transforming yourself and inspiring others. These 9 ways are to be:

Present
Aware
Calm
Focused
Clear
Equanimous
Positive
Compassionate
Impeccable

Now this may seem daunting. But it doesn’t have to be because it is not a game of perfect. You may find that you are stronger at some of these aspects than others and that is what it is to be human.

But it is within your reach as long as you have the aspiration to be a Mindful leader. That is the first step. A way to move in the direction of becoming a more Mindful leader then is to deliberately take one of the 9 ways and practice the formal techniques, as well as the Mindfulness in Action Strategies outlined in my book. You may choose to focus on each of the 9 ways for a week at a time or perhaps more deeply ingrain it by taking one a month and making it a major focus of your deliberate Mindfulness practice.

In time you will notice a deep transformation which profoundly enhances your life and greatly inspires those around you.
