Overview

Old-fashioned images of corporate callousness and greed have been replaced by a gentler, more humane perspective of great leadership. But how does one define "kindness" in business?

And what is the best way to "use" this deceptively complex notion as a guiding principle to lead an organization successfully into the future?

What You Will Learn

Far from presenting a naive idea of kindness, this Webcast explores the surprising attributes successful "kind" leaders share. Attend this insightful hour to learn how they use kindness to:

  • motivate employees, committee members, and others
  • recognize unique talents while nurturing all employees
  • establish a supportive and productive work environment
  • drive continuous organizational growth
  • adapt and guide employees through periods of change
  • stimulate calculated "stretch" and risk-taking

In a nutshell, you'll discover how leaders can use sincerity, honesty, and respect for the good of their organizations as a roadmap to success.

This enlightening discussion will be followed by an interactive session-where we will address specific questions asked by members of the audience!
