Kind Leaders are the best kind of leaders because they work to reduce and eliminate fear and create trust by including and bringing people together in positive ways!" Karyn Ross
In response to unkind leadership trends, in 2021 I published my sixth book, The Kind Leader: A Practical Guide to Eliminating Fear, Creating Trust and Leading with Kindness. I thought that now would be the perfect time to reintroduce it. A practical guide, it's filled with theory, exercises to complete to practice acting, reacting, speaking and thinking kindly, and the stories of twenty eight kind leaders from a variety of different sectors.
There are so many myths about why kindness and leadership can't go together. But they are simply myths. Kindness isn't weakness. It takes unbelievable strength to consider others needs. Kind leaders are adept at addressing gaps to targets and communicating those gaps to team members, in a kind way so that they can hear the feedback and improve. And kind leaders create spaces where people can bring their unique talents, experiences and ideas to cooperate and collaborate.
Kind leaders understand that "How we get there is just as (or even more) important than where we are going."
Please share this post with others and lead with kindness...even when others are not.
