The Mind of the Leader

Description

Most leaders think they're effective at motivating their employees, but study after study shows that employees are more disengaged and uninspired than ever. The solution lies not in more management training or fun off-sites but in looking within—into the mind of the leader. Based on their years-long research and practice, Rasmus Hougaard and Jacqueline Carter, of the Potential Project, have conclusively found that three qualities stand out as being foundational for leaders today: mindfulness, selflessness, and compassion—what they call the MSC Leadership Mind, the ideal mind of the leader.

The Mind of the Leader addresses these crucial qualities. Mindfulness tackles the distractedness that kills our focus, stunts our productivity, and makes us action-addicted multitaskers. Selflessness helps us—and the people we lead—find true happiness and meaning, addressing the general lack of fulfillment in work life. Compassion enhances true human connections, followership, and engagement, countering today's social disintegration.
