Kind leadership isn’t about being nice all the time. It’s about leading with respect and care, without falling into the trap of people-pleasing.

In this episode, I unpack some of the common misconceptions about kind leadership. Thoughtful leaders often gravitate towards kindness, but it can backfire if we confuse kindness with always saying yes or avoiding difficult conversations.
