Knowledge Mindfulness - The Interconnections That Help Leaders Transform Their Business and Life

Unlock the Full Power of Your Knowledge
Knowledge is the lifeblood of modern organizations — but most leaders still rely on knowledge management processes designed for a simpler world.
Knowledge Mindfulness offers a transformative new approach, applying cutting-edge research from the worlds of business, economics, psychology, neuroscience, and the social sciences to reveal more holistic, effective, and humane ways of harnessing knowledge.
In this book, you’ll learn to see knowledge through a different and broader lens, as a dynamic system grounded in deep connections between people, and anchored in the full richness of the human experience. Knowledge is an emergent system, deriving its power from complex networks of dynamic connections between ourselves and others. By mindfully enriching and deepening these connections, it’s possible to radically elevate the way knowledge flows through our lives and through the organizations we lead — and open the door to powerful new ways of using knowledge to create lasting value and more resilient and adaptive organizations.
In today’s chaotic world, broadening and deepening your knowledge has never been more important. Knowledge Mindfulness gives you the tools you need to revitalize knowledge processes and drive enduring success both for yourself and the organization you lead.
