Illustrated through the stories of visionary  and innovative leaders in many fields, including Elon Musk  (Tesla), Malala Yousafzai (human rights), Howard Schultz  (Starbucks), and Muhammad Yunus (microfinance and  development), this volume links an ancient Buddhist  concept, known as the Noble Eightfold Path, to contemporary  needs to develop an alternative paradigm to the excessive  bottom-line focus and winner-take-all approach that has  come to dominate leadership practice in recent decades. The  stunning rejection by the United Kingdom of the European  Union and the divisive US presidential race of 2016 serve  as a dramatic backdrop to complex social issues—from  international terrorism and domestic police brutality to  debates over immigration, climate change, and free  trade—that require creative solutions bringing together  stakeholders from different fields and points of view. The  Eightfold Path—characterized by the following elements:  Right View, Right Intention, Right Speech, Right Action,  Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, and  Right Concentration—is an approach to leadership that  balances individual and collective concerns while aligning  pragmatic and spiritual priorities. Joan Marques, an  accomplished author, speaker, and educator on spirituality  in organizations, with extensive experience in teaching and  applying Buddhist principles, demonstrates how the  Eightfold Path can inform practices and decisions that  result in long-term communal benefits, and, in the process,  develop more mindful and conscientious leaders capable of  tackling multifaceted challenges.},
