Meditation and Leadership

1.5 Credits · Level: Graduate

There is a growing recognition that the practice of meditation can enhance leadership qualities. It helps individuals gain perspective, deal with stress, and exercise better judgment when dealing with complex issues and professional relationships. Perhaps more fundamentally, it helps a leader integrate his, or her own set of values and make decisions on the basis of these values. The course will offer the opportunity and the means for students to develop their own practice of meditation. It will be oriented to those who are already involved in, or preparing for the greater responsibilities of leadership. The connection between meditation and leadership will be made by listening and understanding, experiencing and practicing, and sharing and participating.
