Lead with Heart in Mind

This book offers insights on integrating Buddhist principles into leadership. Lead with Heart in Mind guides leaders toward more sustainable practices.

This enlightening and inspiring book, Lead with Heart in Mind, provides both accomplished and aspiring leaders with the tools to integrate Buddhist philosophies into effective and sustainable leadership practices. Through the stories of visionary leaders, including Elon Musk, Malala Yousafzai, Howard Schultz, and Muhammad Yunus, the author illustrates how the ancient concept of the Noble Eightfold Path can address contemporary leadership challenges. This approach offers a refreshing alternative to the traditional focus on profit and competition that often characterizes modern leadership.

Set against the backdrop of significant global events, such as the UK's departure from the EU and the contentious 2016 US presidential election, Lead with Heart in Mind emphasizes the need for creative solutions that unite diverse stakeholders. The Eightfold Path, encompassing elements like Right View, Right Intention, and Right Action, encourages leaders to balance individual aspirations with collective well-being. This holistic framework aligns both pragmatic and spiritual priorities, fostering a more inclusive leadership style.

Joan Marques, a respected author and educator specializing in spirituality within organizations, draws on her extensive experience to demonstrate how the Eightfold Path can inform leadership practices. By applying these principles, leaders can cultivate mindfulness and conscientiousness, ultimately addressing complex challenges and contributing to long-term communal benefits. Lead with Heart in Mind serves as a vital resource for anyone seeking to enhance their leadership effectiveness through a compassionate and mindful approach.
