This document discusses the benefits of mindfulness and emotional intelligence training for leaders. It notes that most employees are disengaged at work and few feel they realize their creative potential. Mindfulness can enhance well-being, resilience, collaboration and performance. Research shows mindfulness improves executive function and reduces anxiety. It also leads to better handling of interpersonal stress. Leaders with higher emotional intelligence have more engaged employees who report greater personal thriving. The document proposes a mindfulness-based emotional intelligence program for leaders, developed at Google, that includes workshops and guided exercises to build core skills over several weeks.

Critical Leadership Competencies for Organizational SuccessWong Yew Yip
Organizations strive for sustainable success by meticulously developing their Vision, Mission and Core Values with detailed business strategies and action plans for implementation.

Using Behavioural Science to improve Well-being for Social WorkersAlex Clapson
For child and family social workers, coping with the hardships of children and parents is part of the job. But that can cause a lot of stress. Is it possible for financially constrained organizations to improve social workers’ well-being using non-cash rewards, recognition, and other strategies from behavioral science? Assistant Professor Ashley Whillans describes the experience of Chief Executive Michael Sanders’ at the UK’s What Works Centre for Children’s Social Care, as he led a research program aimed at improving the morale of social workers in her case, “The What Works Centre: Using Behavioural Science to Improve Social Worker Well-being.”

Why are you here?
Small group discussion
Motivation
Equity theory – people will be motivated when they perceive that they are being treated fairly (transactional) – theory of motivation or observation of some people?
Expectancy theory – effort = good performance = reward > attractive reward (the perceived/learned relationship between effort and performance and the value of the outcome) – extrapolation of reinforcement/behaviourism. Learning by association.
Alternative theories
Motivation
Reinforcement theory – behaviours with positive consequences will occur more frequently than behaviours with negative consequences - behaviourism – positive and negative reinforcement, punishment and extinction; e.g. ‘incentivizing’ and bonuses.
Goal setting theory – people will be motivated to the extent to which they accept a goal and receive feedback toward achievement. It is based on the premise that conscious goals affect action.
More alternative theories
Motivation
Goal Orientation Theory – early conceptualizations from the 1970s. Most current research is based on Dweck’s (1989) theory of goal orientation (designed to understand children’s acquisition of new skills) – performance (perform well relative to others) v learning (improve skills) goals (situational characteristics or individual trait)?.

Coaching From an Organizational Development PerspectiveCoacharya
Coaching is seen as an individual process working towards behavioural change. It is. However, unless the individual is addressed as part of the system he or she belongs to (a family, an institution or an organisation and in integration with them), behavioural changes will not sustain.
This systemic perspective is the central theme of Organisational Development (OD). Use of self at the individual level is integrated seamlessly with team and organisational alignment in systemic OD approach to coaching. Systemic approach adds maximum value to the organisation and teams within, in addition to individuals. Every coach should become familiar with this approach.
During this session, Kathy Lippert will discuss this OD approach with Jackie Bsharah.

Is Understanding Employee Psychology the Secret to Boosting Engagement?Kashish Trivedi
Employee psychology is focused on why an employee behaves the way they do while performing their role.
This practice categorizes employee behaviors into predictable patterns. By studying those patterns, managers can effectively deal with both individual employees and entire teams.
Understanding employee psychology is incredibly beneficial to companies as it provides insight into an organization’s greatest asset (their employees). This empowers managers to effectively deal with different employee personality types.
Employee behaviors have been classified and put into predictable patterns understood as employee psychology. In better understanding employee psychology, managers can identify the most effective way to deal with both individual employees and teams of workers.

9. Employees who practiced
mindfulness reported greater

Even short amounts of mindfulness
practice - just four twenty minute
sessions - reduces anxiety, and
improves executive functioning
and working memory.

The SIY Program
Under the guidance of a seasoned coach, and with a committed practice mindfulness meditation can:
Improve Your Focus — Focus is a trainable skill, and meditation systematically trains you to focus. What’s more, your focus isn’t just better when you’re meditating, but all day long as you go about your business. Mindfulness’s positive effect on concentration has been proven in this long-term study, and this study, and has even been shown to make a big difference in novice meditators after only ten days.
Reduce Your Stress — We’ve all heard that meditation can help you to relax and become less stressed out. It is a proven way to deeply relax. Science shows that it can even make very stressful situations easier to handle. It lowers your cortisol levels—the hormone most responsible for stress. A 2010 meta-analysis of 39 studies found that mindfulness is a useful intervention for treating anxiety and mood disorders.
Enhance Your Empathy — Mindfulness will help you connect to other people. One mindfulness practice is called “loving kindness” meditation, in which you focus on feelings of love and compassion. Experiments show that over time this can dramatically boost your empathy (sense of emotional connection) with other people. Medical students under intense stress report higher levels of empathy when they meditate.
Reduce Your Emotional Reactivity — How long does it take you to recover from an upsetting event? Mindfulness can reduce that time measurably, and get you back on your feet faster after emotional upheavals.
Increase Your Cognitive Flexibility — Tired of being stuck in the same old rut? Mindfulness has been shown to increase “cognitive flexibility,” which means it allows you to see the world in a new way, and behave differently than you have in the past. It helps you to respond to negative or stressful situations more skillfully.
Boost Your Memory — How many facts you can hold in your head at once, what scientists call “working memory” is a crucial aspect of effectiveness in learning, problem solving, and organization. A study of military personnel under stress showed that those who practiced mindfulness experienced a boost in working memory, as well as feeling better than those who didn’t practice. Another study shows that it not only improves memory, but boosts test scores, too. Even practicing mindfulness for as short as 4 days may improve memory and other cognitive skills.
Make You Less Sensitive to Pain — Mindfulness meditation changes your physical brain structure in many ways; one is that it actually increases the thickness of your cortex, which reduces your sensitivity to pain.
Give You a Better Brain — Mindfulness trains the prefrontal lobe area of your brain (it actually gets bigger!), as well as enhancing other areas which give the benefits of an entire package of related functions such as self-insight, morality, intuition, and fear modulation.

Emotional Intelligence means the ability to identify, understand, and manage emotions in positive ways.
It gives us a range of life-changing skills such as:
• Self- Awareness
• Self- Regulation
• Motivation
• Empathy
• Social Skills
Leadership effectiveness: when 75 members of Stanford Graduate School of Business’s Advisory Council were asked to recommend the most important capability for leaders to develop, their answer was nearly unanimous: self-awareness.
Performance–even in technical fields: in roles ranging from executive leadership to management to sales to customer service, Emotional Intelligence predicts job performance, retention, and positive feedback on 360-degree reviews (McClelland, 1999; Boyatzis, 1999).
Happiness & Engagement at Work: Employees with higher EI are more likely to be engaged at work, and leaders with high EI are more likely to create positive team culture (Boyatzis, 2010; Sy et al., 2005).
Journaling & Mindful listening.
