Leaders searching for solutions often adopt whatever style is currently in vogue; however, then they cease to be authentic.  This inevitably leads to inconsistent decisions, confusion, and dissatisfied stakeholders who recognize that the leader is hiding behind a façade.  On the other hand, mindfulness can help leaders to remain focused on what really matters to them and their companies and stakeholders.  This allows them to lead from a place of authenticity.  Mindful leadership entails being aware of one’s internal-compass.  It enables a leader to respond to a situation as it arises, to respond to reality of constant change from a place of deep calm and focus, and to have the presence of mind to face reality of any situation.  A mindful leader is clear in his or her communication, and those he or she leads know that decisions are made from a place of awareness, integrity, and courage.  A mindful leader inspires others to greatness, to achieve beyond their expectations
