Hurry up and pause to take leadership from functional to excellent! In The Leadership Pause, trauma psychologist and mindfulness coach Chris L. Johnson takes readers on a guided journey into their most truthful future as leaders. Johnson's goal is to teach all leaders-new and seasoned professionals alike-the importance of slowing down. The Leadership Pause shows how to quiet the noise of the daily hustle so leaders can hear the still-small voice of purposeful curiosity that lives within them, which breeds wisdom in both work and life. The Leadership Pause teaches readers the gift of mindfulness and decluttered thinking, which then opens the door to reduced stress, a deeper connection to self, and a clearer vision of the natural leader resting just beneath the surface. Johnson shares stories from established and powerful leaders about how they've used these practices to transform their previously limited way of thinking into finding greater meaning and purpose in their work. This book is for anyone looking to deepen their impact on the lives around them, leave a profound mark on their companies, and build a legacy of compassion, ambition, and empathy.
