  • heARTISTatWORK Nov 2 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    A1: leadership kindness is a new term to me...my gut says itโ€™s how we present kindness in the role of a leader position, itโ€™s seeing others as equals and respecting them for what their abilities are rather than dictating them from an overpowering position #engagechat
  • ChrisQuinn64 Nov 2 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    Gratitude fits right alongside kindness! #engagechat

  • ACOFEE Nov 2 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    A1 Leadership kindness to me means leading from a lens where a thriving wellbeing for all you lead matters. How people currently experience life matters, And when a leader is kind you assume the best about people and seek to understand their current circumstance. #Engagechat
  • TheresaHolloran Nov 2 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    A1 is not asking anyone to do something you wouldnโ€™t do yourself and remembering to treat otherโ€™s the way you would like to be treated. #engagechat
