MindCuor Consulting Services

Why is “Leadership” such an essential word in 21st century business and academic institutions?  Because effective organizations understand that leaders have the power to transform their organizations…for good or for bad.  They understand that leadership isn’t just about managing people, resources, or stakeholder perceptions.  It’s about communicating, motivating, understanding, and cultivating—and it requires self- awareness, integrity, and perhaps most important, wisdom.  

MindCuor’s coaching and leadership development work helps executives, managers and teams recognize and optimize their skills and talents. MindCuor leadership development services include:

MindCuor & Mindful Leadership

Mindfulness practices are no longer a fad. Backed by research, mindfulness is now used widely in workplace settings by executives, teams and workers to improve focus, productivity and wellness.  By integrating mindfulness practices into the workplace, wise leaders can become more effective, better at their jobs, and able to lead others with clarity and insight.

Mindful leadership uses the tenets and practices of mindfulness to exhibit qualities that lead to organizational success:

• Leadership with focus and conscious attention on self and others, increasing the ability to see oneself clearly and understand one’s impact on others and the organization. This can result in stronger, more meaningful relationships based on respect and trust of self and others.
• Leadership that continually takes stock of, and reflects on, goals for self and others--without engaging in emotional reactivity or knee-jerk actions, and leading to measured, impactful change.
• Leadership based on reflectiveness, and that draws on existing skills and experience as well as emotional intelligence, compassion, and wisdom.
• Leadership that effectively understands dynamics around diversity, conflict, and team functioning.
• Leaderships that builds and sustains an “authentic” organization—that functions from top-down and bottom-up with shared, open goals, accountability and vision…an organization in which stakeholders are encouraged to provide input and implement change that reflects the goals.  
• Leadership with highly effective interpersonal communication skills, modeling those skills for the organization and setting the standard for open, focused, goal-driven communications.
• Leadership that is motivational, strategic, aware, facile, and engaged, and builds a climate of integrity and trust.
• Leadership that is generated from calm awareness, without judgment
• Leadership focused on self and others’ quality of living on and off the job, thus increasing effectiveness in the organization.
