Mindfulness & Leadership

"Mindfulness, which is simply the ability to hold your attention to something, is the most under-appreciated skill in our busy, materialistic world. But you know it when you meet someone who is mindful - it feels like they are with you, paying attention, curious about you and what you see. Learning about and training in mindfulness as part of a leading MBA program is a natural fit, and long overdue."

"To provide an opportunity for MBA students to maintain or to build a mindfulness practice while in business school feels critical to creating leaders who live from a place where they know what it means to be human. It ensure that they will show up better to help solve the world's most important problems."

"Organizations magnify the best and worst impulses of their leaders. Leaders who are unaware of their own impulses and drives pervert organizations to serve their egos. Only leaders who cultivate mindful awareness of themselves and others have a shot creating organizations that balance and maximize the benefits for every stakeholder."
