In The Mindful Leader, Michael Carroll focuses on ten key principles of mindfulness and how they apply to leading groups and organizations, addressing a range of topics along the way, including how to:

   •  heal the “toxic workplace,” where anxiety and stress impede performance
   • cultivate courage and confidence in the face of workplace difficulties
   • pursue organizational goals without neglecting what’s happening here and now
   • lead with wisdom and gentleness, not just with ambition and power
   • start a personal meditation practice to develop your innate leadership talents


The Mindful Leader is also available on audio CD.
