Given the ever-growing interest in the benefits of mindfulness to organizations and
the individuals who work in them, this Companion is a comprehensive
primary reference work for mindfulness (including creativity and flow) in the

field, tracks its application to the workplace, and suggests trends and future
directions.
With contributions from leading scholars and practitioners in business, leadership,
psychology, healthcare, education, and other related fields, The Routledge
Companion to Mindfulness at Work is an extensive reference work which
will be a vital resource to the fields of management and organizational studies,
human resource management, psychology, spirituality, cultural anthropology, and
sociology. Each chapter will present a listing of key topics, a case or situation

questions.

Engaged leadership : transforming through future-oriented design thinking
This professional book examines the concept of engaged leadership. Specifically, it focuses on the need for leaders in personal and professional realms, for-profit and non-profit, to understand the importance of engagement in order to achieve enhanced satisfaction and motivation among stakeholders (including employees, shareholders, investors, supporters, customers, suppliers, the community, competitors, family, and partners), and hence, an augmented level of designed thinking, which leads to increased innovation and on-going leadership development. Divided into three sections--engaged leadership development at the personal level, implementation at the organizational level, and manifestation in practice--this book provides professionals, practitioners and policy makers as well as students with the tools and skills to lead actively and conscientiously and help them understand the importance of creativity and compassion for development. Engaged leadership operates on the fundamental principle that leaders have to first and foremost perceive themselves as leaders, and then engage in design thinking, as they will need to develop strategies to reach, encourage, and positively appeal to these stakeholder groups. Leadership is neither limited to those holding formal managerial position, nor to any particular setting. Leaders can be found everywhere, in all layers of society. Leadership is only possible, however, if one dares to perceive and define oneself as a leader. And only when leadership is adopted as a reality within one's personal perception, can engaged leadership be applied. Featuring contributions from academics, scholars, and professionals from around the world, each providing cases, interactive questions and reflective notes, this book will be of interest to professionals, practitioners, policy makers, students and scholars interested in creative leadership, management, organizational behavior, and governance.

Teaching the un-teachable: storytelling and meditation in workplace spirituality courses
Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to review the implementation of two strategies that are actually un-teachable yet highly effective in higher education: meditation and storytelling.
Design/methodology/approach
– Specifically focussing on workplace spirituality as a movement from corporate workers, and consequently, also a teaching topic in management education, the paper first indicates some problems faced in today's world, and relates these to the need for facilitating college courses in more compelling and comprehensive ways.
Findings
– Spirituality and spiritual concepts can involve emotional and other non-cognitive experiences which cannot be taught using traditional teaching approaches such as reading and lecture. Specific approaches, such as meditation and storytelling are useful for teaching spirituality and spiritual concepts in a business school classroom setting. These two strategies provide an opportunity for students to reflect on their experiences and to become more self-aware.
Practical implications
– Using the practical strategies discussed in this paper in management classes turns out to be a positive experience for both the course facilitators and the students.
Originality/value
– Reflecting on the overhaul attempts of management education in universities, even those with the prestige of Harvard and Stanford, the authors discuss some interesting strategies that can help management educators take their course experiences and the results attained to the next level.

The role and need of offering workshops and courses on workplace spirituality
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to present the experiences and findings of a university course in workplace spirituality in a time and stage where corporate greed and organizational instability run rampant.Design methodology approach - The authors analyzed workshop dialogues and reviewed of participants' findings on corporations as well as their own changed perceptions.Findings - There are some interesting common factors in corporations that perform according to spiritual guidelines and a highly interactive program on organizational analysis contributes tremendously to the levels of responsibility and awareness of participants.Research limitations implications - Limitations to the research are: the population used for data was limited, as it consisted of business and management students at the MBA level; and the findings were only gathered from one cohort, and might provide increased themes when extended over multiple courses in multiple semesters. Future research could apply this study on other populations for a greater foundation in findings.Practical implications - Organizations that adhere to the spiritual mindset are more successful, have happier employees, and are more aware of their environmental responsibilities.Originality value - The paper shows that in these times when corporate greed, dishonesty, and environmental neglect have been exposed so dramatically, courses on workplace spirituality are of high importance and lead to valuable insights for immediate and non-immediate stakeholders.

Personal Mastery and Authentic Leadership
This paper links personal mastery and authenticity to effective leadership on the premise that our leadership style is an extension of who we are. The findings of humanistic, existential, and positive psychology are explored to suggest a pathway to the art and science of human flourishing. The paper utilizes a synergistic exploratory research design to understand the relationship between personal mastery, authenticity, and leadership within the overarching concept of human flourishing. It builds on the work of Abraham Maslow, Victor Frankl, Peter Senge, Steven Covey, and Michael Ray in illuminating the concept of personal mastery. It also briefly reviews the recent work of positive psychologists such Martin Seligman, Ed Diener, and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi to explore the emerging field of human flourishing by creating a conscious link between personal mastery, subjective well-being, and authentic happiness. Based on our review of the findings of humanistic, existential, and positive psychology thinkers striking similarities are evident when it comes to the essentials of human flourishing. The use of teaching stories to illuminate learning is noted. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
