Scholars note that today's organizational leaders face increased responsibilities and unique challenges, and in order to successfully navigate today's workplace, leaders need more effective ways to manage (Baron et al., 2018; Ehrlich, 2017; Petriglieri, 2020; Vann et al., 2017). This qualitative study explores the application of mindfulness to leadership practice as a means to foster a way of being that enhances personal and professional relationships and a leaders' ability to effectively navigate the unique challenges for which they are faced. Despite the value of mindfulness, its benefits, and the timeliness of this practice as related to organizational leadership, it is unclear whether organizations and/or leaders will embrace the practice.In order to explore the relationship between mindfulness and leadership, with attention to leaders' perceptions of its potential for leadership development, this study used the following research question:What are organizational leaders' perceptions of mindfulness in the workplace?As such, 27 interviews were conducted between June through July 2022, with participants varying in demographics. The interview questions focused on exploring leaders' perceptions of mindfulness and their opinions related to the practicality and receptiveness toward five mindfulness skills: mindful speech, mindful listening, non-judgment, self-regulation and sustained attention, and reflection. Data gleaned from the interviews were analyzed by applying thematic analysis. The results of the analysis indicated that the majority of informants perceive all five skills as practical, and they are receptive to their use. Furthermore, informants stated that mindful listening would be the most practical to implement in the workplace. Lastly, the analysis identified four significant themes: (a) being mindful takes work, (b) mindfulness poses logistical challenges at work, (c) mindfulness is unknowingly practiced, and (d) successful integration requires modeling and allocation of resources.The study has made contributions to leadership and mindfulness scholarship and responds to the gap in the literature by explicitly connecting mindfulness, leadership, and the workplace, which was missing from previous discussions-offering newfound knowledge and insights regarding the adoption of mindfulness and the workplace. Beyond theoretical contributions, this study offers practitioners new insights into how mindfulness can be integrated into leadership development, including considerations for messaging and naming, training, content, and proportion.
