Unleash the power of the leadership-brain connection!

This updated edition of the groundbreaking book Connecting Leadership to the Brain provides school leaders with a visionary framework for understanding how mindful leadership significantly impacts growth and achievement in educational communities.

Offering an approach compatible with the ways individuals naturally process information and learn, this resource links knowledge about the physiological, social, emotional, constructive, reflective, and dispositional nature of the brain to compatible leadership practice. Leaders will find specific examples and reflection exercises focused on how to:

  • Support the mind-body connection
  • Promote social relationships
  • Harness the power of emotion
  • Expedite the construction of knowledge
  • Build a culture of reflection
  • Cultivate productive dispositions

Mindful Leadership is an essential companion for helping readers become mindful leaders who consciously attend to the nature of intelligence in the process of influencing the achievement of goals.
