Greater complexity outside requires greater clarity inside. Effective leadership isn’t about just checking off more tasks. It’s defined by how well we use our minds and interact with others. We need flexibility and clear purpose in the face of complexity. We need balance, insight, and the ability to inspire others. Yet our workplaces are churning out burned-out leaders, who report little bandwidth for big-picture thinking, for innovation, and truly understanding others and building strong culture. The skills to work with our minds, our emotions, and other people are essential–they are vital to improving our organizational performance, resilience and overall well-being.
Mindfulness + Emotional Intelligence = Effective Leadership
Our February presenter, Oli Mittermair is CEO of the Experiential Leadership Initiative (EXLI) providing cutting edge training in leadership, emotional intelligence and mindfulness. He is also the cofounder of software startup Pollinate which explores the application of mobile technology to enhancing human productivity, resilience and well-being. Furthermore, he is also a certified teacher with the Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute (SIYLI), an organization that provides mindfulness-based emotional intelligence training to Fortune 500 companies including Google, SAP, Linked In and Cox Media.
Oli will share some of his experiences and insights into mindfulness-based leadership training in corporate settings. Join Oli and the Northern California Chapter to unlock excellence and better understand the role that mindfulness and emotional intelligence plays.
