#285: Common Misconceptions About Kind Leadership
Update: 2025-07-06
Description
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.
You’ll hear:
- Why kindness doesn’t mean weakness
- The difference between being nice and being kind
- How to set boundaries and still be seen as a considerate leader
- Examples of how kind leadership can actually make your team stronger
If you’re someone who cares about your team but sometimes struggles with setting expectations or saying no, this one’s for you.
