My guest for Episode #427 of the Lean Blog Interviews Podcast is a returning guest, Karyn Ross. She was previously a guest in Episodes 266 and 411. She was also my guest for Episode #3 of My Favorite Mistake.

Karyn has a new book called The Kind Leader: A Practical Guide to Eliminating Fear, Creating Trust, and Leading with Kindness. Scroll down for a 20% coupon you can use if you buy through the publisher. You can also enter to win a copy.

Today, we talk the book and more, with topics and questions including:

  • How do you define kindness?
  • NPR story on the kindest family
  • How do we help people understand that kindness is not a sign of weakness? 
  • My Favorite Mistake (out Thursday) Moses Harris interview Episode #110
  • How much unkind behavior is driven by people being scared? "Vicious circle of fear"
  • "Collaboration, cooperation and kindness" chapter heading -- reminds me of how Dr. Deming used to rail against competition -- and I think that's especially true when talking about internal competition
  • Systemic root causes of fear and unkind behavior -- Kind leaders can affect the system...
  • Kindness and respect? Connections to Lean in the book
  • A time when someone was kind to you at work?
  • Recent KaiNexus webinar on psychological safety... also proven to drive results
    • Workshop with Jessica House on the topic
  • Blaming instinct...What do you mean by "always assume positive intent"? - examples?
  • Negativity bias
  • "Prefectionism isn't Kind" online workshop with Amy Mervak
    • Morning session
  • Afternoon session
  • Little Kind Words Talk Show -- lessons learned from that?
  • Doing live streaming -- "practice accepting what is"
  • We're always learning... what have you learned about kindness since the book was published?
