Spørger man ledere, om de selv synes, de er gode til at motivere medarbejderne, svarer 77 procent positivt. Spørger man til gengæld medarbejderne, mener 88 procent, at ledelsen ikke slår til, når det gælder om at sikre medarbejderne helt afgørende værdier som et mål samt motivation og forbundethed. Der er med andre ord en manglende selvforståelse hos mange ledere.I The Mind of the Leader tilbydes en ny og radikal ledelsesforståelse, som vender traditionel ledelse på hovedet, og som tager udgangspunkt i mindfulness, uselviskhed og medfølelse (MUM-ledelse). I eksempler fra Marriott, McKinsey, Accenture, LinkedIn og flere andre organisationer kan læseren iagttage, hvad andre har gjort, og bogen er samtidig spækket med praktiske løsninger på enhver organisations problemer med engagement og handling.

Når Google, Sony, McKinsey, Carlsberg og mange andre virksomheder tilbyder mindfulness-træning til deres ledere og medarbejdere, gør de det for at øge de ansattes velvære og performance. Vi føler os ofte under pres på grund af en stresset og kompleks arbejdsdag, og vi bliver hele tiden afbrudt og distraheret af mails, telefoner og møder. Derfor har vi brug for metoder til at skabe ro og koncentration, og her er mindfulness et fantastisk værktøj.Bogens forfatter har i samarbejde med forskere, ledere og mindfulness-eksperter fra hele verden udviklet programmet Corporate-Based Mindfulness Training, som her for første gang præsenteres i bogform. Forskere fra Cambridge og Rigshospitalet har dokumenteret, at programmet øger arbejdsglæde, work-life balance, fokus og performance og mindsker stress. Programmet bruges i over tyve lande, bl.a. af Nike, American Express, Google, General Electric, Sony og Carlsberg.

One Second Ahead is about applying mindfulness techniques (mindfulness techniques enable people to manage their attention, improve their awareness, and sharpen their focus and clarity) to work life.
