Engaging the next generation of leaders

There is no better time than the present to embrace the mindful and holistic approach Dr. Laila Marouf prescribes. The only constant is change, and in a fast paced, changing world the golden triangle of Knowledge Mindfulness is indeed an engine for sustainable transformation. As an impact venture capitalist, I’ll recommend this book for our portfolio founders and investors alike.

Adapting to our new normal postpandemic poses a challenge for today’s business leaders. Guidance from Professor Marouf arrives at a perfect time to ease you through this transition period and get you on the right path to lead your team to new heights.

I found this book unique in its honesty and real-world application. In an effort to be a good leader it is a mindful process of stamina, humility, and the never-ending challenges of things you know and things you need to know in a fast changing world.

Dr. Marouf has written a guide for leaders to engage in a personal journey of knowledge mindfulness in this disorienting age of disruption. She orients this path toward personal knowledge maturity—that is less of a destination but rather a process of renewing one’s knowledge and ability to take action in the world. It uniquely blends what is personal with what is strategic and practical.

If you struggle to understand how knowledge mindfulness can help you and the situations around you, then Prof. Laila Marouf’s book is a must read.

Knowledge Mindfulness by Prof. Laila Marouf gives the most thoughtful framework for effective leadership. Her detailed and thoughtful approach to the complex interconnections of knowledge, leadership, and organizational success are as insightful as they are practical. With a deep understanding of knowledge management, Dr. Marouf presents strategies that are clear, specific, and on-target in today’s business and social climate. This is a must read for anyone ready to be a more conscious leader.

I found Knowledge Mindfulness very relevant to any large organization, as successful companies strive to shift knowledge from individuals to “Organization Knowledge” where many can benefit and draw on the vast experiences across the organization. The success of any organization can be tied to employee motivation in engaging with Knowledge Mindfulness and Knowledge Sharing.

Dr. Laila Marouf offers a model and strategies that give guidance to business leaders for the use of knowledge in more efficient ways to achieve their goals. Knowledge Mindfulness sets a path that can help in redefining success and better leadership, whether professionally or personally.

This book is a much needed, timely, and elegantly constructed link between two key concepts: knowledge and mindfulness. As the world hurtles towards an uncertain future, we need to take stock and be aware—personally and as a species—of what it means to be human, about how knowledge enhances our existence, and in the face of AI, how it might not. The heartfelt arc of this book is a real meditation by itself, but the message is very refreshing.
