Cultivating Presencing Mastery in Organizations for Corporate Leaders: Rediscovering a Values-Based Perspective through a Buddhist Inspired Framework

Abstract

This article shares a theoretical framework supported by hands-on practices that can
help corporate leaders develop and refine their core values in the context of developing
presencing mastery. Presencing mastery enables a deeper way of being: one that is generative
and contextually embodied. Drawing on our academic and practitioner experience, we propose
exploring leadership values within a Buddhist inspired framework from a values-based
leadership perspective as a means for creating the inner space in leaders to awaken a more
profound sense of purpose and service. As a whole, presencing, values-based leadership, and
Buddhist psychology intersect in their common intent of operating from one’s generative inner
being as primary.
