Mindful leadership for personal and organisational resilience.

Given that the volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (i.e., "VUCA" nature) of our world will likely continue to increase over time, it is clear that learning how to develop our inner capabilities of mindfulness and resiliency is of the utmost priority for us as individuals, organisations, communities, and nations. In today's world - and tomorrow's - such capacity development for ourselves, our leaders, and our organisations is vital to bringing a deeper wisdom and care to our lives and work, and to our human flourishing. In our increasingly VUCA world of ever-increasing complexity, old norms, skillsets, and "business and usual" norms are simply insufficient to assure sustainable success. The kind of high-performance protocols that were once reserved for world-class athletes, martial artists, elite military troops, and sports teams, or monastic adepts, have now become essential training for any leader, professional, or organisation intent on assuring high standards for safety, quality care, sustained success, well-being, and meaningful beneficial influence in their medical centres and communities. Could it be that the global surge of interest in mindfulness and resiliency reflects a wise and evolutionary impulse perfectly adapted and responsive to meeting the challenges and realising the opportunities of the VUCA world in which we live and serve as dedicated health caring providers and practitioners?
