Author Description

Mindfulness has been defined as a state of conscious awareness characterized by active distinction drawing that leaves the individual open to novelty and sensitive to both context and perspective. A mindfulness-based response to a situation is about creating alternatives; not merely making the best choice from available alternatives. Mindfulness-based approaches hold that individuals' and organizations' ability to achieve reliable performance in changing environments depends on how they think: how they gather information, how they perceive the world around them, and whether they are able to change their perspective to reflect the situation at hand.
