Recommendation

The new generation of executives applies humanism to its work processes. Its humanist outlook embraces both new and ancient methods to drive creativity, innovation, collaboration and long-term value. This fresh mind-set requires staying open to new ideas and avoiding unnecessary stress. Some executives turn to ancient Eastern techniques, including meditation, to gain mindfulness and become more open to new ideas. Entrepreneur Faisal Hoque, writing with Drake Baer, unveils a wide range of mindful behaviors that fuel innovative firms. This esoteric report – while not your normal business read – proves thoughtful, interesting and philosophical. Although the episodic presentation tends to jump a bit from concept to concept, the quality of the ideas will inspire you to persevere. getAbstract recommends this insightful manual to serious business readers who prefer long-term solutions over short-term fixes.

Take-Aways

  • The humanistic understanding that all “working lives” connect can promote business growth.
  • To foster creativity, cultivate the mental state Buddhists call “beginner’s mind” –  being open to new ideas.
