Edited by three notable thinkers in the field of leadership and
management.
In a global climate of increasing complexity and uncertainty, there
have been calls for a more responsible form of leadership in
business and society. The relationship between kindness and
leadership is therefore a topic of fundamental importance for our
well-being as individuals, for the success of our organisations,
and for the future of our global community. Kindness in Leadership
is one of the first books to explore both the concept and practice
of kindness in leadership and consider them in different societal
and organisational settings. Its uniqueness lies in combining an
innovative mix of personal views from leaders with explorations of
organisational philosophies and practices. It opens with a
definition of kindness and its contours and underpinnings. It then
explores the importance of kindness within different organisations,
parts of the world, economic strata, age groups and genders,
drawing on research on organisational compassion and neuroscience.
In order to support learning, each chapter is supported by a series
of questions for consideration and discussion. This will be a
stimulating and thought-provoking read for a wide audience of
practicing managers and leaders in organisations of all shapes and
sizes, for academics involved in educating for leadership, and for
students aspiring to develop their own kind and compassionate
leadership style.
