In this episode of the Innovators Mindset Podcast, George Couros explores the impact of how rejection is communicated, emphasizing the importance of leading with respect and grace. Broadcasting from the serene outdoors, George discusses a personal experience that inspired him to ponder the often harsh and impersonal way job rejections are conveyed in education and business.

George shares insights from his time as an administrator, revealing the practices he implemented to ensure that every candidate, successful or not, was communicated with directly and respectfully. By offering constructive feedback and support, George demonstrates how these small acts of kindness can significantly influence an individual's career path and enhance an organization's reputation.
