Mindfulness as an approach to improving individual and team performance

Dr Jutta Tobias from the Centre for Business Performance at Cranfield University explains that employees feeling constantly overwhelmed and on show can lead to fragmentation within the organisation. The practice of mindfulness can help and is a way to slow down and focus awareness and attention on the here and now – both internally and externally. This, in turn can lead to better decision-making processes and performance within the organisation.
