Beautifully integrated and presented, these new guidebooks document leadership practices (The Lotus) and process templates (The Weave) for sustainability practitioners. They were developed by master’s students in the Strategic Leadership Towards Sustainability program at the Blekinge Institute of Technology in Sweden (home of The Natural Step). The guidebooks, which are freely available for download, have been informed by the Art of Hosting and also by the ALIA Europe program in the Netherlands in March 2011.

One of the many concepts shaping our view of self, health, leaders, leadership, and organizations is mindfulness. 
Rosaria (Ria) Hawkins recently wrote up a very readable review of the concept of mindfulness and its transition from the clinical therapy arena into the leadership and popular press. She then goes on to provide a brief overview of her doctoral findings—the processes by which mindful leaders engage others in change. Finally, she begins to formulate and categorize the major practice-based challenges we face as we help organizations and their leaders utilize more mindful approaches to work. I highly recommend you read this if you are interested in where theory meets practice regarding mindfulness and leadership.
