Mindfulness and Leadership

This research used surveys with leaders and followers to examine how mindfulness (which they define) impacts interactions between leaders and followers.

Conclusion

By identifying mindfulness in communication as a behavioral manifestation of leaders' dispositional mindfulness which mediates the latter's relationship with followers' satisfaction, our study provides a valuable contribution to the increasing body of literature on mindfulness in the workplace. Hopefully, it will stimulate more research on the role of mindfulness in communication behavior and in organizational contexts in general.
