Effectiveness of Incorporating Mindfulness Programs to Improve Interpersonal and Intrapersonal Leadership for Corporate Executives: The TPC Case Study (87436)

Mindfulness is bringing one’s complete attention to the experiences occurring in the present moment, in a non-judgmental or accepting way (Brown & Ryan, 2003; Kabat-Zinn, 1990; Linehan, 1993a; Marlatt & Kristeller, 1999). Mindfulness studies have shown benefits such as lower levels of unpleasant traits (Brown & Ryan, 2003; Tan, K, 2023) and reductions in stress and psychological distress for individuals (Shapiro, Schwartz, & Bonner, 1998; Tan, K, 2023) and increases willingness to tolerate uncomfortable emotions and sensations, and increase in Well-Being and Productivity and Focus, (Eifert & Heffner, 2003; Levitt, Brown, Orsillo, & Barlow, 2004; Tan, K, 2023). Few studies have directly tested the proposed mechanisms of mindfulness programs towards emotional regulation in leaders (for a qualitative-based exception, see Mason & Hargreaves, 2001). This study measures the effectiveness of mindfulness programs for 25 mid to senior executives of a global conglomerate from over 5 different nationalities, conducted over 5 months. The study will show how the program impacted their readiness towards personal leadership had significantly increased, and the awareness of positive relationship with self significantly increased, as well as the awareness of intrapersonal relationship with others significantly increased. The results and findings show that participants became aware of their core limiting belief(s) and inner critics thus becoming better at leading themselves and others. The implication of this study is that this same program can be implemented for other corporate executives to improve their interpersonal and intrapersonal leadership, over themselves, their teams, their family, organizations and community.
