[Apologies for cross-postings]
Please join us at the AOM meetings for an international SYMPOSIUM sponsored by the IMD (co-sponsors are ODC and MSR) on MINDFULNESS AND LEADERSHIP.
A panel - all longtime scholars involved in leadership development - will discuss the implications of their experience with mindfulness practice for leadership development and will then participate in dialogue with those attending.
DATE AND TIME: Monday, Aug 9 2010; 8:00AM - 9:30AM at Le Centre Sheraton in Salon B
PANELISTS:
Mary Yoko Brannen; INSEAD; Integrating Soto Zen Practice into Mindful and Compassionate International Management Research
Kathryn Goldman Schuyler; Alliant International U.; Increasing leadership integrity through mindfulness
Susan Skjei; Naropa U.; Outcomes of Ten Years of the Naropa Authentic Leadership Program
Louis W. (Jody) Fry; Tarleton State U.; Research Possibilities: Compassion and Measures of Leadership Effectiveness
Mark P. Kriger; Norwegian School of Management; Implications of the Buddhist Perspective and Practice for Effective Leadership
The aim of this symposium is to share powerful practices for the development of compassion and to portray some of the important ways that compassion, loving-kindness, and mindfulness can be used to create alternative determinants of leadership effectiveness and development. The panelists will offer contemplative thought experiments, a discussion of the underlying constructs, and descriptions of their relevant work in leadership development and research on the impact of compassion and loving-kindness on organizational effectiveness, in terms of the triple bottom line. Each of the panelists will aim to provoke the audience to conceive of how organizations might benefit from leaders seriously considering the qualities of compassion, loving-kindness, and mindfulness in their day-to-day decision making.
