Mindful Leadership for Schools - Wisdom from Confucius

The world today needs mindful leaders who care for the holistic well-being of their students and staff, and to inspire all to renew schools with compassion, creativity and courage. But what is mindful leadership, and how can leaders create and sustain mindful schools? draws on the educational thought of Confucius and explores how Confucian Mindful Leadership (CML) can offer a solution. The various chapters show how CML revolves around influencing others towards the achievement of a common goal through R E S T. The acronym R E S T stands for R espectful mindfulness, E xemplary living, S erving others and T ransforming society. Each component is encapsulated by a key Confucian concept: R R espectful mindfulness E E xemplary living S S erving others T T ransforming society This book explains how a Confucian mindful leader is one who attends to self, people, things and events respectfully, and promotes the virtues of humanity, empathy and social justice through personal cultivation, role-modelling, community-building, coaching and the initiation of reforms. By describing how CML strengthens school administration and supervision, Tan offers a novel and practical leadership approach that combines ancient wisdom and modern educational research.>
