Recommendation

The new generation of executives applies humanism to its work processes. Its humanist outlook embraces both new and ancient methods to drive creativity, innovation, collaboration and long-term value. This fresh mind-set requires staying open to new ideas and avoiding unnecessary stress. Some executives turn to ancient Eastern techniques, including meditation, to gain mindfulness and become more open to new ideas. Entrepreneur Faisal Hoque, writing with Drake Baer, unveils a wide range of mindful behaviors that fuel innovative firms.
