Do you know what soft skill leaders practice to bridge gaps and encourage open dialogue and collaboration? KINDNESS. Here are three ways you can immediately incorporate kindness into your professional world: 1. Realize that kindness does not equal weakness. The finest leaders I know embrace kindness as a strength. They set a positive tone and create a culture that's more welcoming and tolerant. 2. Incorporate a "Kindness First" practice. Each day in your To-Do list, before you do anything else, take at least one action that has no other purpose than to be kind to another person. 3. Stand out for the positive in a proactive and vocal way. As a business leader, you have an opportunity to use kindness to share your core beliefs and insights through your social media posts, your company's values statement, and in the way in which you tell your own story. When you do so, you unite and inspire people and keep them focused on the positive. #kindness #leadership #business #success #professionaldevelopment #relationships #communication #growth #softskills #career #HumansFirst …see more
