Old-fashioned images of corporate callousness and greed have been replaced by a gentler, more human conception of great leadership. But how does one define "kindness" in the context of business? And what is the best way to "use" this deceptively complex notion as a guiding principle to lead an orga­nization successfully into the future? Far from presenting a naive idea of kindness, this eye-opening book identifies the surprising attributes successful "kind" leaders share. Readers will learn how they can use kindness to: motivate employees, committee members, and others recognize unique talents while nurturing all employees establish a supportive environment spur continuous organizational growth adapt to change stimulate calculated "stretch" and risk-taking prepare the next generation of leaders This realistic book shows leaders how they can use sincerity, honesty, and respect for the good of their organizations.   Reader's Index  Send us your favorite quotes or passages from this book.   About the Author William F.
