“How to build a kinder workplace when its leaders don’t”
Here’s a brief summary of the five actions listed in the article with my comments on you can build stronger leadership, morale and productivity:
1. ADD AN ACT OF KINDNESS TO YOUR DAILY TO-DO’S
How inspiring and uplifting would you be as a leader if you did this?
2. LISTEN MORE MINDFULLY
Listening is a top skill of great leaders.
3. CHOOSE THE REACTIONS YOU CAN CONTROL: YOUR OWN
Reacting mindfully is as important as listening mindfully.
4. DEFAULT TO CANDOR
I think giving honest feedback is crucial. It’s also important to know how to give feedback in a constructive, supportive way.
5. JOIN IN
Don’t go it alone. Be part of the team and part of the community to bring people together.
