The three traditional leadership maxims of power, authority, and influence have a different meaning in today’s leadership context than they did thirty years ago. Will-forming processes are not anymore defined by hierarchies or social status. Employees simply had to implement the will of the superior without questioning. It no longer works. Power and authority have eroded. Leadership now only works through the role model function of the leader, by setting a good example and setting cultural and ethical milestones.

The focus of any mindfulness practice is not the rational, cognitive grasp of the subject matter, but the experience through continuous meditative practice. The psychologist and neuroscientist Ulrich Ott describes five dimensions for this: The purely physical, material level (1) refers to the correct body position and the associated stable posture. The so-called vital level (2) makes breathing conscious and influences the biological regulatory processes. When breathing in, the heartbeat speeds up and when breathing out, it slows down. The emotional level (3) focuses on bodily sensations and the associated feelings, which are accepted and not evaluated. The mental level (4) focuses on the distanced and neutral perception of the restless mind and wants to bring it to rest. Finally, on the level of non-duality (5) the actual change of perspective takes place. The ego standing in the center is dissolved by the transcendence of subject and object. The ego we are familiar with in the form we have known it until now as the center of our experience and action temporarily ceases to exist.

The corporate world has changed rapidly in recent years. While generations Y and Z were already critical of traditional hierarchical models, the COVID 19 crisis has dramatically changed the interaction between management and employees yet again. A study published by the editors and authors of this book (Schulte et al., 2020) during the first wave of the pandemic in April 2020 asked about the conditions of well-being in the home office. This showed that good leadership was the decisive factor for safe and motivating work at home. This was much more important than the working conditions at home. Leadership that provides human orientation, empathy and trust will prevail across the board in this era.

We focus on the philosophical and ethical framework on which mindful leadership can be built. Mindful leadership is fed by a well-founded and embodied leadership ethic, which can be experienced not only in the attitude but also in day-to-day actions. Mindful leadership is derived from value management, in which certain basic ethical constants are available as a basis for mindful action. The development of a basic ethical attitude and mindset in human interaction is a profoundly complex process. It cannot be adopted and applied “off the peg,” as it were. Rather, ethics is based on a system of values that is shaped by culture, society and individual socialization. In the professional and organizational context, this means developing a credible leadership ethic in which both the value base of the leader and his concrete actions follow a coherent normative logic. In the following, we would like to define and explain some parameters without which mindful leadership is not possible. Mindful leadership can only be based on the maxims of the ethics of responsibility, in that the leader is always aware of the consequences of his actions and has to answer for them.

The new generations are our most important social capital. By social capital, the editors mean the willingness of individuals in a society to contribute to it with their own resources and opportunities. Today, we live in network societies to an even greater extent than in the past. These result from the strong links via social media and platforms, which create both knowledge and political knowledge formation at lightning speed and with high scaling. Network-like organizational structures can be formed in a very short time, with regional, national and transnational nodes and links. The consequences for traditional organizational structures at the corporate and governmental levels are not yet even foreseeable.
