This paper, titled "Mindful Leadership: Integrating Buddhist Ethics into Contemporary Organizational Management," explores the profound influence of Buddhist ethical principles on modern leadership practices. It examines how mindfulness, compassion, and ethical decision-making can transform organizational management by fostering a culture of trust, collaboration, and sustainability. Drawing on the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and the principles of interconnectedness and non-attachment, the study demonstrates how these teachings address complex challenges in dynamic business environments. The research highlights the role of mindful leadership in enhancing employee engagement, improving team communication, and promoting ethical decision-making while reducing workplace stress and burnout. Through case studies of successful leaders and practical examples, the paper illustrates how integrating Buddhist ethics fosters innovation, strengthens organizational reputation, and ensures long-term sustainability. Ultimately, this study advocates for the adoption of mindful leadership as a transformative approach to align personal values with professional practices, creating resilient and ethical organizations in an ever-changing global landscape.
