 I welcome you in the course of leadership, emotional intelligence and the CN making. This is module number 32 and we are going to talk about mindfulness potential promise for the leaders. When we talk about mindfulness, obviously this situation is going to overcome our dilemma of mindlessnessness and automaticity. The mindfulness training is important for the leaders to go through and in that particular training the leader would be able to overcome the leadership stress because we should understand one thing that leadership position is a tough position and the leaders are going to face a lot of stress in everyday life. The challenges, the circumstances around him are going to cause a stress of the psychological patterns in his mind. In the mindfulness training, the leader is supposed to understand the emotional reactivity. The leader is going to enhance his or her emotional intelligence and the leader is going to think in a way that the third thing in the mindfulness training is basically focusing upon attention and on the working memory because it is important for a leader to understand his or her aspects, perspectives, circumstances, and the emotional reactivity that affects all the things in his mind. Along with that, the leader needs to develop the perceptual capability, the perceptual skill, and the cognition that all the aspects that are affecting his or her belief set. Because his values, his beliefs, obviously his decision making will be effective. So in the mindfulness training, the leader goes through these points. Secondly, in the mindfulness training, the leader is taught, the leader is trained that how to develop and show and demonstrate empathy and as you all know, the empathy is basically taking care of the other people, putting yourself in other's shoe. So your empathy would be the focus point when we talk about mindfulness training. Secondly, the decision making capability of the leader would be enhanced in those training sessions and the leader would be more conscious in his or her everyday patterns. The third thing which we have to focus upon during the mindfulness training is related to the innovation capability that the leader should be coming up with innovative perspectives, the leader should be coming up with new inventions which could be commercialized, the leader should be coming up with the creative ideas. So his empathy, his decision making, and his innovation are the three major capabilities that we will incorporate in the mindfulness training. Now, when we have to manage the stress in terms of leadership concern, then remember that the leader goes through a lot of stress because of the situation, the overall stress of the organization, the needs of the followers, the expectations of the leaders, the stress of the leaders. So, the leader needs to understand his or her stress level and then how to manage the stress, that is something which the leader needs to learn in those mindfulness training sessions. The second thing is that sometimes the leader goes through inherent loneliness because when we talk about the leader and the follower, we alienate and separate the leader from the follower and that leads the leader to a feeling of loneliness. Sometimes the leaders feel as if they are alone in the whole problem and there are no person, there are no people who are going to support him or her by any means because they are in the position of a leader and as a leader we send them to superlative degrees. Along with that, in the stress of leadership, there are sometimes ambiguities of authority. Sometimes there are role overlaps. Sometimes job descriptions are not elaborated properly. Sometimes responsibilities shared or discussed are not there. What will happen to this? The leader would be having ambiguities of authority. It does not have complete information about empowerment. So, that would be increasing the stress level related to the leader. And the fourth aspect which the leader needs to go through is basically related to the mindfulness practice because without the mindfulness practice, he will not be able to overcome his stress of leading. As a result, there can be two types of situations in front of us which are taken up as adaptive challenges. The situation can be related to eustress or it can be related to distress. When we talk about eustress, it means positive stress. A stress which gives you motivation, improves your performance, takes you towards emotional well-being. Basically, you gain your drive of energy from eustress. You increase your motivation. You recognise your internal triggers. And by doing your work, it becomes better and better. If the stress increases, it would take up the shape of distress. That distress would result into job burnout. That distress would result into mental strain. And due to negative aspects, the person might be feeling fatigue, may suffer from cancer afterwards, his heart disease, diabetes, obesity and digestive disorder. All these problems can occur with a leader when he starts absorbing stress more than a limit. If we conclude all this, then remember that in mindfulness training, the leader has to take care that he activates his conscious mind. He can overcome his unconscious mind processes. And also, keep in mind that the person should not be taken up with a bigger level of stress. Because of that higher level of stress, a leader's capabilities are compromised. Thank you.
