Leadership and Paying Attention<\/h3>\n

Good leadership is mostly about paying attention \u2013 to the environment, the people, the places, and the present. Mindful leaders will pay attention and take in as much information and data as possible before making a decision. To do this, they must start with an open mind.<\/p>\n

Leadership and an Open Mind<\/h3>\n

Jon Kabat-Zinn, a famous teacher of mindfulness meditation, believes mindfulness \u201cmeans paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally.\u201d To become aware on purpose, in the present, and in a non-judgmental manner requires an open mind. You have to dispense with any pre-conceived ideas, any biases, and any beliefs you have about your client or their circumstances. Mindful leadership coaching<\/strong><\/span> requires an open mind.<\/p>\n

An Open Mind is a Quiet Mind<\/h3>\n

You\u2019ll also hear the term \u201cquiet mind.\u201d Mindful leadership coaches begin with a quiet mind. I\u2019ve heard the term \u201cempty mind\u201d before, but quiet mind more closely describes how your mind should be. It shouldn\u2019t be empty and free of knowledge, but activity should be limited with thoughts, ideas, and beliefs quieted. The noise in your head should be suppressed as you listen to your client and comprehend what is being said.<\/p>\n

Executives and leaders have become accustomed to activity \u2013 with constant deadlines, problems, and organizational needs. We often praise those individuals who can multi-task. However, the ability to quiet the mind and think in the present can actually help solve problems in the future. Yo9ur mindful leadership coaching<\/strong><\/span> practice should be all about helping your clients learn how to quiet down their minds and pay attention, on purpose, in the present.<\/p>\n
