Book: Mind Time

Leaders who are more mindful have the capacity to pay attention, on purpose, in the present moment. That is to say, they have enhanced meta-awareness. They are more aware of themselves, others and the world around them. This allows them to respond appropriately rather than react without thinking.

Our research suggests sustained practice leads to statistically significant improvements in resilience, adaptability, emotional regulation, empathy and focus amongst other things. There is some evidence that more mindful people are also less prone to cognitive biases in their decision-making.
