The Return of Kindness
The Return of Kindness
The world needs leaders who have the strength to be kind. The Return of Kindness challenges companies to set a higher bar and reimagine what great leadership looks like. Kindness isn't what you think it is. Kind leaders, far from being soft or weak, are caring and tough.
The Return of Kindness makes a compelling, evidence-based case for why kind leadership is good for business and how kind leaders create value through prioritising the mental health and wellbeing of their people. Bonnie Hayden Cheng, organisational psychologist, researcher, and consultant to Fortune 500 companies, combines extensive research, storytelling, and in-depth interviews with influential executives across a wide range of industries to reveal the transformative power of kindness in driving business success.
The Return of Kindness provides a simple but impactful RISE framework to inspire kind leadership, accompanied by practical touchpoints for successfully implementing kind leadership in organisations.
