Mindfulness is an essential skill for any effective leader. Practicing mindfulness helps you become aware of what really matters, and that leads to mastery – self-mastery, mastery in relationship management – the ability to make sound decisions, take the right actions, and be effective in any situation. In this episode, Ralph and Cindy break down the concept of mindfulness and offer tips on how you can incorporate mindfulness into your own leadership.
Ralph,
Great to hear your voice as you and Cindy presented the “Mindfulness” blog. As I was listening to the points raised in the discussion, I began to feel a little disappointed as I have fallen short of these principles as I approach retirement. So thank you for bringing me back to ground zero. As I approach retirement, I find that I dedicate less time and attention to being “In the moment”. I either don’t listen to the details of the conversation or I quickly dismiss the ideas being raised by others……..then offer my own solution. This is not fair to the team that has worked hard for me and have supported me throughout my career. Even though retirement is on the horizon, I am going to make a concerted effort to be more patient, kind, curious, and helpful with my team and others around me. Thanks and take care.
