The Six Practices of the Buddhist CEO

Buddha taught six practices to master on the path to reaching perfect enlightenment:

  1. Offering
  2. Keeping the precepts
  3. Endurance
  4. Endeavor
  5. Concentration of mind
  6. Wisdom

The following is a list of practices that organizations must master on the path to reaching their full potential:

  1. Endeavor – Vision; commit to a bold vision!
  2. Wisdom – Mission; create a unique and compelling value proposition for your targeted customer.
  3. Keeping the precepts – Values; be principle centered and play within the rules.
  4. Offering – Execution; consistently, predictably and reliably deliver on your stated value proposition from practice #2 above.
  5. Concentration of mind – Avoid the rabbit trails of distraction and maintain a laser like focus along the way.
  6. Endurance – Perseverance, never give up!!

Tell us about your six practices.  We would love to hear from you!
