The ROI of Kindness

In today’s episode, we’re diving into a powerful and often overlooked leadership strategy: kindness.

Kindness isn’t just about being “nice”—it’s a transformative tool that boosts team engagement, drives performance, and even builds customer loyalty. Research shows:
✨ Managers influence 70% of employee engagement (Gallup), and kindness creates workplaces where people want to stay.
✨ High-performing teams thrive in environments of trust and psychological safety—both fostered by kind leadership (Google’s Project Aristotle).
✨ Brands that prioritize kindness and fairness win long-term customer loyalty (Deloitte).

I’ll share stories of leaders who used kindness to turn around team morale, reduce turnover, and unlock extraordinary results. Plus, we’ll explore how kindness aligns with strategic empathy™—a game-changing concept from my upcoming book The Fearless Female Leader.

💡 Actionable takeaway: Start small. Today, check in with a team member, write a note of appreciation, or listen without distraction. These small acts can spark big change.
