Episode 279. On being a straightforward and kind leader
This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for any leader who’s eager to become both kind and clear.
Too often, kindness is mistaken for passivity—and directness for harshness. But the best leaders strike a balance. In this episode, I’m breaking down what it really means to lead with kindness and strength, based on my own growth from overly confrontational to overly cautious—and now, learning to lead with intention.
Tune in to hear how embracing tact and truth can transform how you lead—and how people respond to you.
