Mindfulness and Facilitation

Two Leadership Paradigms in the World of Work 4.0

 

«Excellence involves making conscious choices about not just how you work but how you live your life and how you connect with your family, friends, and community. We need mindful leadership to live with excellence.»
Janice Marturano, Founder and executive director of the Institute for Mindful Leadership

To begin with: Mindfulness is not about how to even better exploit employees, as we often hear people say. It is about turning from doing to being. It helps us switching off the autopilot, opening our minds and hearts for what is there in the here and now. Being mindful means to be present for your experience as it just is, not hoping or expecting it would be different. It involves withholding judgements and taking situations as they are, with calm and equanimity. Research has shown that mindfulness practice leads to less stress, more focus, clarity, creativity and compassion – all attributes which foster leadership excellence.

 

«Leadership is about being better able to listen to the whole than anyone else can.»
C. Otto Scharmer, Theory U: Learning from the Future as It Emerges

Facilitation is the art of establishing trust, focus and engagement in groups. It helps to establish meeting-smart work cultures that foster creativity and actively engage participants. By encouraging inclusivity of all perspectives in the room, innovative, sound and sustainable solutions arise. Mastering the art of mindful facilitation helps leaders to raise the full potential of their co-workers.
