What is it about?
The Mindful Leader argues that applying emotional intelligence when leading others results in a more positive work culture and productive workplace. Bunting has a good argument, and it is a book reminiscent of Brene Brown’s work on self-awareness at work. Bunting explains how to engage mindfulness techniques at work. This increased awareness helps with more effective and clear decision making in addition to fostering a highly engaged work team. This book is written to encourage respect for one another at work.
Why should I read it?
This is an excellent leadership book for first time managers or team supervisors. It’s also ideal for leaders who are looking for a different way to inspire a team. The Mindful Leader is a book suited to a leader or supervisor in a medium to large organisation because the examples and application read as more suited to corporate environment with larger teams and resources. Leaders who are questioning their interpersonal skills would also benefit from the reflections provided in this book.
Is it a challenging read?
The style is an easy read but some of the ideas may seem a little complex at first. It’s a good read if you have the time to digest the ideas presented and Bunting does a good job providing some great case examples throughout the book. If you are willing to trade your email address, there are also additional resources available on the book’s website.
