Leading Well: Becoming a Mindful Leader-Coach This book combines two powerful leadership concepts: Mindfulness and Coaching. Leaders who are mindful—fully present, not distracted by failures of the past or fears about the future—lead well. Leading in the moment and engaged with their teams, mindful leaders help those around them keep calm and focused, not anxious and distracted. And when mindful leaders adopt a leader-coach approach—asking questions to help others solve their own problems—their leadership power magnifies. Indeed, when leader-coaches apply the four P’s of coaching to both problem solving and career development of direct reports, the individual, the team and the organization all win.
