Leading@Google: Michael Carroll on Mindful Leadership

A new generation of business leaders is turning to mindfulness as a cutting-edge leadership tool. Research suggests that the practice of mindfulness--a technique for learning to live in the present moment--can help individuals gain clarity, reduce stress, optimize performance, and develop a greater sense of well-being. 

GCA's Michael Carroll; corporate executive, Buddhist teacher and author of The Mindful Leader; gives mindfulness meditation instruction to leaders at Google, and discusses how such mind training can cultivate natural leadership talents like courage, confidence and poise. He explores how mindfulness, beyond mere pleasantry, is how we can learn to adopt a realistic and inspiring approach toward workplace leadership.
