New Delhi, July 05 (ANI): A new study suggests the real payoffs emerge when an individual's mindfulness is translated into mindful interactions and relationships. Such interactions infused with intentionality, compassion and presence can bring about more harmonious and healthy organizations. These practices may be formal, such as engaging in a mindful pause before beginning a meeting, or informal, such as listening to someone with a high level of attention. The qualitative study draws on the experiences of actual leaders to explain how they bring mindfulness into the workplace. Primary data sources included interviews and on-site participant observation. The researchers conducted 30 formal interviews with managers, professionals and consultants who practice mindfulness in the workplace, and more than 50 informal interviews with a wide variety of individuals who apply mindfulness principles at work.
