CAFÉ Talks Ep. 43 – Problem Solving Through Mindful Leadership

Wednesday, 09 March 2022 09:13

Oftentimes management is viewed as a controlling process – a way to get a job done through other people where to lead is to inspire, and to set a course for others to follow. However, we all know from our experience, that the title of “leader” is rarely defined in a way that accomplishes the goals of inspiration and setting a course for others to follow. Leadership has become a position rather than a method and a message. Some individuals with the title seek to accomplish their goals through direction and even instilling fear, while others do so through listening, supporting, teaching, and showing compassion for others. The gap is significant. Join our podcast as Elena Jensen, an executive coach and ambassador of compassion with eiLumen, guides us through a process of unlearning and relearning, a process leading to a more mindful approach towards managing and leading. Through self-assessment the listener can open the door to understanding what great leadership is all about.
