In an era defined by complexity, speed, and constant disruption, leadership no longer fails because of a lack of knowledge or intention—it fails because leaders lack a system for applying mindfulness when it matters most. In his new book, Alexander Rodino introduces Mindfulness Intelligence (MiQ), a disciplined, battle-tested framework designed to help leaders perform, decide, and lead effectively in chaos.
This book has one clear mission: to increase the probability of leadership success—for individuals, their people, and their organizations—through the intelligent practice of mindfulness. MiQ reframes leadership as awareness in action, showing that in moments of pressure, leaders do not rise to their position; they fall to their level of trained Mindfulness Intelligence.
Forged through friction—from combat deployments and crisis leadership to boardrooms and high-stakes business decisions—MiQ provides leaders with a practical operating system, not theory alone. The book lays out the full MiQ framework: what it is, why it matters, how to apply it, and how it produces outcomes that endure—strong performance, resilient culture, and a legacy that outlasts any title or role.
Rodino challenges the outdated “hero leader” model and replaces it with a legacy-first approach that emphasizes clarity, selfless service, and intentional culture. Pressure may look different across arenas, but the demands on leaders are universal. This book equips leaders in business, entrepreneurship, community, and organizations of all sizes to command chaos, lead with purpose, and build teams people believe in.
Leadership has evolved. Mindfulness Intelligence is the new standard.
Lead with legacy.
Command the chaos.
Create culture that endures.
About the Author
Alexander Rodino built his leadership philosophy in one of the most demanding environments in the world: the U.S. Army Infantry. With over a decade of leadership experience, he led units across tactical, strategic, and training operations, serving in elite formations including the 82nd Airborne Division and the 1st Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment—“The Red Devils.” His service included deployments and advisory roles in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, and North Africa.
Commissioned in 2016 after graduating from Wilkes University, Rodino earned dual degrees in Psychology and Sociology and Criminology, with concentrations in Political Science, Economics, and Neuroscience—an academic foundation that deepened his understanding of human behavior under pressure. His military qualifications include Ranger, Airborne, Jumpmaster, Pathfinder, Combat Infantryman, and Expert Infantryman Badges, along with advanced combatives training. He is also a recipient of the Bronze Star and the Order of Saint Michael (Airborne).
After a career-ending injury concluded his time in uniform, Rodino transitioned his leadership philosophy into the civilian world as a real estate professional, investor, consultant, and writer. Applying the same principles that built high-trust, high-performance military teams, he has earned recognition for elite-level service and performance while helping leaders and organizations translate military-tested leadership into everyday practice.
Today, Alexander Rodino leads through legacy—teaching leaders how to apply mindfulness intelligently, build cultures that endure, and succeed under pressure in any arena.
