To support the development of theoretically guided mindful leadership programs, it is helpful to consider the key question: How could the Wheel of Mindfulness guide how such programs would look, and what kind of impact they are expected to have? Moreover, as Storey (2016, p28) observed, all initiatives to develop higher level or leadership abilities inevitably involve some view of the desired and expected range of capabilities and the behavioral accomplishments that will be created, often presuming that the latter depend on the former.
What, then, are the kinds of skills, competencies, capabilities or qualities that different types of mindfulness programs are expected or required to deliver? And what identifiable behaviors, accomplishments and outcomes are intended or achieved?
