Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.
Design/methodology/approach
This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.
Findings
This research paper concentrates on measuring a real estate industry sample group's attentional self-regulation and experiential orientation, as well as their creative idea generation abilities by comparing a treatment group's experience of receiving weekly mindfulness training with a control group that didn't receive the training until a later time. Mindfulness training was found to result in increased mindful attention and awareness over a five week period, and at the same time increased workplace creativity both in the moment and over the longer term.
Originality/value
The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
