Forbes says leaders are ditching empathy in favour of hard-nosed results. I say: false dichotomy. Great leaders know people are the path to profits.

In this episode, I pull apart the “nice vs. tough boss” argument and show why heart-centred leadership isn’t soft — it’s smarter, more sustainable, and far more effective. Along the way I draw on research and wisdom from Jim Collins, Shawn Achor, Brené Brown, Ed Catmull, Simon Sinek, Dan Sullivan, and others.

You’ll hear:

  • Why empathy and performance aren’t opposites.
  • The hidden cost of fear-based, metrics-obsessed management.
  • How psychological safety and trust drive innovation and profits.
  • Why “nice” isn’t enough — but genuine, human-centred leadership is essential.

If you’ve been wondering how to lead in today’s climate of uncertainty and pressure — this episode shows you a better way.
