About On Kindness
From the publisher's feed
Kindness is rarely thought of as ‘power’. It’s often described as ‘soft’ or even thought of as weak. In reality it is the strongest tool we have as humans to influence others and to manage our own…
well-being and our own destiny. Kindness is much more than just ‘nice’; it includes having touch conversations and managing through difficult times with humanity at the center. In our conversations in Power Reimagined, we speak with current and future leaders about how kindness has manifested itself as a strength in their careers and in their lives.
