💪🏽Kindness counts ! 🫶🏼 and if anyone tells you otherwise, they are either not doing it right (or at all), or sadly, have not experienced it for themselves enough to understand that *it matters* 🩵 Leadership isn't just about achieving goals; it's about empowering and inspiring others along the way. Kindness and empathy are not soft skills — they're essential pillars of effective leadership. Small everyday acts of kindness — like actively listening to team members, offering support during challenges, or recognising achievements — create a ripple effect of positivity. These gestures build trust, foster collaboration, and nurture a culture where everyone feels valued. 💡*Guess what?* People often do better - in all aspects of life - when they feel valued. Let's champion a leadership style that prioritises humanity. Together, through these small acts, we can create impactful change and cultivate a workplace - and a world - where everyone thrives. 🌍✨ #Leadership #Kindness #Empathy #Teamwork #Success #people #peopleandculture #culture #hr #cipd #transform mentl Scott Armstrong Emma Davies MCIPD Andrew Stotter-Brooks Chartered FCIPD John Butterworth Humaira Anwer Hacking HR Transform Enrique Rubio (he/him) Steven Bartlett

This is why your smallest interactions are actually your biggest. Your actions are your "invisible PR" working for or against you at any given time. Let me explain... We all have bad days, moody days and we don't know what someone is going through - but being kind can quite literally change the trajectory of your life. It will subtly nudge you in a different direction through favours, promotions and other types of recognition. Being un-kind is a tax on your talent - it will weigh down your potential. None of us imperfect human beings are going to be able to achieve perfect kindness at all times, including me. However, if we all understand the value of it, to ourselves and others, hopefully we can try a little harder, every day, online and offline, to be a little kinder. And the legend that is Usain Bolt in the video below proves exactly how powerful your "invisible PR" is. This is how you make it work FOR you and not against you 👏🏽 Video via Daniel Abrahams.
