Something missing in a manager's education?

A Yale professor discusses his experience with meditation and management. 

After his journey of practicing meditation for 15 years, he began teaching meditation to corporate leaders. To start, it does not have to be very long, the commitment(decision to start and continue) is most important. 

....."teach One-Moment Meditation in workplaces — to corporate executives, doctors, nurses, and to many stressed-out office workers — I began to see how useful the meditative mind could be in the world of work. By stripping meditation of many of its cultural associations, right down to its core idea, and making it very portable, I had discovered a point of contact with the managerial mind. "
