An Essence Of Mindful Leadership

Leading From Compassion. Flowing in Dr. Phe Xuan Bach's prose and poetry are notions of intentional mindfulness within ourselves and with others. Such is the core of leadership that is being always present in this moment that we share with others. Mindful leadership is existential in nature, both timely and timeless. A practicing Buddhist, Dr. Bach weaves the Dharma into both a concept and practice of leadership that transcends the common definitions of it in the West. In mindful leadership, we lead from the inside out, practicing the five "arts of living" as described in "The Art of Living According to Spiritual Leaders." Becoming a mindful leader is nurtured through daily meditation, a practice that grounds us with equanimity...
