Part B.Cultivating Leadership Expertise

Self-awareness, self-regulation, and mindful leadership are essential aspects of cultivating leadership expertise. The argument goes—when a person claims a leadership identity and when that person consciously and conscientiously develops self-awareness, self-regulatory processes, and a calm mindful approach, this leader cultivates expertise. The evidence behind this argument supports that this expertise carries over to others within the organization. Self-awareness becomes a collective awareness. Self-regulatory processes inspire collective regulation. A mindful leader inspires others to be the great leaders they aspire to be. Leader identity and the development of leadership expertise become contagious.
