Ch. 1 The Challenge

We face information overload and new demands coming at us from all directions. We can overcome the challenges of our frenetic modern life and work. I introduce mindful leadership and invite you to stop, reflect and focus. Doing this enables you to learn from the inside out. I explain the concept of Mindshifting--how to focus to do our jobs more effectively--and how we can learn to lead by focusing and paying attention to specific cues. I outline the book’s organization so you can use it to guide your development: key components are positive habits, managing technology and experiments to practice new skills. I explain the dangers of multitasking and the nature of attention, and provide the research basis for this approach to leadership.
