Chapter 11 - Being Mindful

Chapter 11 discusses working with integrity, a very important concept in business' these days. One topic I found important was being mindful. The act of being mindful allows an organization to understand talk. Its being considerate of other people. It is important for a business to be considerate of the people they impact--whether it is in terms of pollution, products, service etc. To be mindful they need to think of how people affect would feel by such actions and determine if the action is in the best course of action. It is about thinking of others first before self.

As I read this posting of being mindful, I was reminded of a situation I found myself in at work last week. I watched a guy set his empty milk carton down near my work station and walk away, thinking no one saw him. He then proceeded to cuddle with his girlfriend in another department. I picked the empty carton up and walked over to him and said, "Did you want more of this or did you want me to throw it away for you?" He was mortified and knew he had been caught rudely littering. He was NOT a mindful individual.
