Today’s students face significant challenges to their thinking, concentration, learning, and self-discipline. Smart phones and other technologies have fundamentally changed the ways many students spend their time, their ability to focus attention over periods of time, and the quality of their social interactions with others. Students and business professionals need personal skills that will enable them to navigate these challenges through mindfulness, self-regulation, and goal setting. A management professor will share a set of mindfulness assignments used in a principles of management course, seek suggestions for improvement, and lead a discussion on other ways to address these important issues.
