The session provides a case study drawn from a W.L. Gore department that implemented mindful leadership development strategies and practices. This session is not about teaching you to be meditative nor is it about spirituality. Instead it is about the rapidly emerging need for leaders at every organizational level to adopt practices that enable them to be highly effective in a constantly shifting and complex business landscape. The presentation details one organization's desire to equip leaders with mindful leadership skills – enabling them to be more contemplative in the moment, more effective in rapidly changing environments, more adept at creating change, and better able to stretch people to elevated levels of performance. You will gain practical and actionable strategies.
