Yoga For Leadership: Activating the Compassion Element 

Author: Leila Naderi, PhD

How can we foster global peace by cultivating inner peace? How can we better ourselves to better the world? How can we "be the change we wish to see in the world"? In an era where focus and concentration are rare commodities, and compassionate leadership is more crucial than ever, "Yoga for Leadership" offers an innovative approach to leadership development that bridges the ancient wisdom of yoga with modern leadership practices. Rooted in Dr. Leila Naderi's research on Yoga for Leadership and her co-authored book, "The Yogi Leader," this book provides practical tools and theoretical framework for energizing the compassion element of leadership—activating Heart Intelligence (HI) in the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI). By integrating yoga's profound mind-body approach and breath awareness, "Yoga for Leadership" empowers leaders to cultivate inner transformation and create meaningful change in the world, embodying Rumi's wisdom:

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”
