In this episode, Nigel reflects on the latest report from Gallup and shares his worries and concerns for business leaders and people managers. He feels that action must be taken right now to turn the tide and before we lose decades to lost productivity and employee disengagement.

This is not the fault of the workforce but a leadership crisis. Nigel goes on to discuss that there are no bad leaders but only misinformed and unaware ones.

This episode is short in time but powerful in its message.

My guest in this episode is the fabulous Paul Gunn, CEO of KUOG Corporation and Author of 'Succeed The Right Way'.  Paul believes that Leaders can be successful while being kind; in fact, they can be far more successful than they ever dreamed.

Paul goes on, in his book, that the path to massive, lasting, and peaceful success is not one of domination and defeat; it’s a path walked by a quiet warrior whose weapons are caring and compassion.

Qualities such as empathy, compassion, and kindness have long been seen as weaknesses in business but Succeed the Right Way demonstrates how these qualities can be the most powerful forces in achieving success. Using studies and real-life examples, Gunn takes you through the human experience, focusing on business, and instructs you how to live a successful life based on kindness.

Most of us are good people, and it’s exhausting to live a false life where no compassion or empathy can be expressed. Operating with shields up all the time, because we are terrified of being seen as weak, is not sustainable and is unhealthy. But these grossly misunderstood gentle qualities are actually stronger than thoughtless aggression, and they allow us to live in peace.

Come in and join us for the very light-hearted and lively conversation.
