Recommendation

You can learn a lot about spirituality, mental healing, mindfulness and wise leadership from Nicholas Janni, including how to meditate, listen deeply, and make sense of “BANI” (“brittle, anxious, non-linear and incomprehensible”) situations in business and life. Janni holds that leaders should also be healers – grounded, empathetic, intuitive and sensitive. A student of Zen meditation, spirituality, consciousness and peak performance, Janni has an unusual background for a business author, including teaching acting and heading his own theater company.

Summary

Innovative leaders should explore enlightened consciousness.

Technology has transformed the world just as heightened consciousness can transform each person. CEOs and senior executives who seek an elevated state of consciousness can become more effective, particularly in these fractious times of the “new abnormal.”

You cannot deal with today’s troubles by applying yesterday’s management methods. Weak solutions only inspire additional problems. Leaders must invest their energy in an advanced form of innovative, mindful leadership.

Executives face huge challenges. Major disruption is rocking many industrial sectors. Companies that have already survived economic turbulence and the pandemic now find that humanity and their industries are in environmental peril.

Futurist, author and theoretical physicist Michio Kaku has said he regrets that people remain prey to ancient, tribal, basic, thoughtless emotions, while now having access to heinous weapons of mass destruction. Cut-throat competition and over-consumption are running rampant while the concept of the common good seems to be languishing.
