      abstract = {This book presents a guideline for turning any  organisation into a more mindful one, allowing it to manage  unexpected events and develop stronger resilience. The  author conducted empirical research with a German IT  company's staff and its leadership in a longitudinal way.  The whole team was trained in individual mindfulness  competencies. Individual mindfulness is a state of being  that can be developed through mindfulness mediation. When  combined with social interactions, cultural adaptations and  structural changes, collective mindfulness develops.  Collective mindfulness allows an organisation to become  more agile. The author argues that mindfulness training  influences the openness and knowledge-sharing behaviour of  an organisation, first on an individual and then a  collective level. Such training can generate awareness,  increase empathy between the team members, and lead towards  a more successful organisation. This study can inspire team  managers to improve the work environment as well as  academics to update their current level of research in the  field of individual and collective mindfulness. About the  author: Fabrice Mielke finished his doctoral degree at the  University of Hamburg, Germany. His research interest is  mindfulness in organisations and their ability to manage  unexpected events. Passionate about mindfulness for over 10  years, he teaches mindfulness classes at different  universities and counsels organisations to become more  mindful.},
