Lead Kindly: The Team is Your Work

Kindness sounds soft. It’s not. It’s a discipline. Lead Kindly is a 4-point foundation for better results and a more enjoyable culture.

(1) Act as you want your team to act. (2) Talk with them often. (3) Help them grow. (4) Change people when needed.

Tolerance for one or a few people at the expense of many others poisons cultures and daily moments that could otherwise be good. That’s why making needed people changes is kind.

From the author of 212° the extra degree (over 1 million copies sold), Lead Kindly is a no-fluff call to do the leadership work that matters, not just what seems easiest.
