LEAD WITH HEART IN MIND - JOAN MARQUES KARTONIE...

This enlightening and inspiring book shows both accomplished and aspiring leaders how to
harness Buddhist philosophies to practice more effective and sustainable leadership.
Illustrated through the stories of visionary and innovative leaders in many fields  including
Elon Musk (Tesla)  Malala Yousafzai (human rights)  Howard Schultz (Starbucks)  and Muhammad
Yunus (microfinance and development)  this volume links an ancient Buddhist concept  known as
the Noble Eightfold Path  to contemporary needs to develop an alternative paradigm to the
excessive bottom-line focus and winner-take-all approach that has come to dominate leadership
practice in recent decades. The stunning rejection by the United Kingdom of the European Union
and the divisive US presidential race of 2016 serve as a dramatic backdrop to complex social
issues that require creative solutions bringing together stakeholders from different fields and
points of view. The Eightfold Path-characterized by the following elements: Right View  Right
Intention  Right Speech  Right Action  Right Livelihood  Right Effort  Right Mindfulness  and
Right Concentration-is an approach to leadership that balances individual and collective
concerns while aligning pragmatic and spiritual priorities. Joan Marques  an accomplished
author  speaker  and educator on spirituality in organizations  with extensive experience in
teaching and applying Buddhist principles  demonstrates how the Eightfold Path can inform
practices and decisions that result in long-term communal benefits  and  in the process 
develop more mindful and conscientious leaders capable of tackling multifaceted challenges.
