In today's episode, I'm sharing the real reason being a nice boss might be holding you — and your team — back.
We’ll discuss why “nice” leadership often leads to frustration, resentment, and underperformance and how to shift toward kind leadership that drives real growth, trust, and results.
You’ll learn:
✨ The difference between being nice and being kind
✨ How to handle missed deadlines or tough conversations without losing your compassion
✨ A simple 3-step framework (Notice, Name, Navigate) to lead with clarity and care
✨ Why your team deserves truth, direction, and real support — not just surface-level encouragement
If you're ready to stop people-pleasing and start leading with kindness, courage, and clarity, you're in the right place. Let's jump in!
