A Conceptual Review on Mindfulness of a Leader: Leader personality Development Perspective
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
There exists no description nor a prescription for the best leadership style nor strategy, hence leadership is very unique in sensing and realising, and a trait which cannot be taught easily too. Since ages it is a topic very closely studied across the world, and still not a point has reached that a particular research can tell its prescription of results as final. In the competitive world of economic and performance pressures, life of a leader is not easy to maintain equanimity with any kind of balance score card in place, and the confusion of the equilibrium between achieving organisation‘s long-term goals and short-term financial metrics is a huge, and it throws enormous challenges in a leader‘s life. When a leader moves ahead with greater leadership responsibilities, the quality of staying grounded and authentic, facing new challenges will go by balancing professional success with great skill and wisdom. The above is easy to talk and write on a paper but very difficult to measure, and continue with personal success. A skill that can be built with the practice of mindful leadership allows leaders to achieve the above or even measure and manage as a leader is now a newer area of research and discussion. The mindfulness facilitates the leader to pay attention to the present moment, recognize the feelings and emotions, keep emotions under control, when faced with highly stressful situations. When a leader is mindful, the leader is aware of the presence and the ways it impact other peoples lives. A leader is able to both observe and participate in each moment, while recognizing the implications of the actions for the longer term, which can prevent the leader from slipping into a life that takes away the values of life of a leader.
