Description

In the world of Pilates—and wellness in general—leaders are often praised for being “nice.” But here’s the truth: nice doesn’t always mean kind, and it definitely doesn’t mean effective. In this episode, we unpack the difference between being “nice” and being kind and clear, and why people-pleasing leaders can do more harm than good. From conflict avoidance to unclear boundaries, we explore how “nice” leadership often masks passive aggression, selfishness, and a fear of discomfort.
