RASMUS HOUGAARD: Well, those that have had leaders that were not mindful sitting in meetings not paying attention to the people they’re leading, having one to once, but actually you can see they’re either tapping away on their phone or their mind is somewhere else. All studies are finding that we work longer hours, that we have more emails, more meetings, the more busy we get the harder it is to be mindful because our mind is literally full of stuff, which is opposite from being mindful. Most meditation practices are really mindfulness practices, whether you’re focusing on your breath or a candle or whatever, doesn’t matter, meditation practices make you more mindful, but you can also become more mindful by simply doing acts of mindfulness throughout the day.
