Mindful Leaders Makes Employees Happier

In two studies published in the journal Mindfulness, researchers looked at the effects of leaders being more mindful, and employee well-being and performance.

The studies found that the more mindful a leader is, the lower an employee’s emotional exhaustion is. More mindful leaders were also associated with employees having a better work-life balance, and overall job satisfaction.

The second study found that employees are also more friendly with co-workers, and helped their team more.

So while mindfulness is important, don’t forget about giving employees the autonomy they need.
