Kind Leaders Are Successful Leaders: Voices of reason Inside the Comfort Zone with Adam Kawalec
-
- Self-Improvement
A survey that was conducted by a branding consultancy in the UK involving 1500 people, showed that only one in three agreed strongly that they had a kind boss and a 25% considered their leader to be unkind.
The respondents that said they had a kind boss were more likely to say that they would stay at their company for at least another year, and 96% of the respondents said that being kind at work was important to them.
What is emerging is that when caring, being compassionate and kind in not only business but also in leadership, it brings positive results for their customers, their employees and for themselves as well.
Hear from some powerful leaders in business about how kindness and compassion plays a role in the success of their businesses.
