Inspiration Leader

'I associate "kind" with good leadership. Thinking back to people I've worked with in academia, the ones who are very successful tend to be the people who are genuinely empathetic and kind.'

 

—Dr Cal Newport, author of Deep Work

 

The scorecard is for you if...


You value leading with connection and kindness, but as your team or organisation grows, it feels harder. You're beginning to question your approach—was your past success just luck? You want to feel confident in your kind leadership approach without sacrificing credibility.

You want to support your team with their challenges, but firefighting has become your default. As your team grows, the strain is mounting—you need them to take ownership and feel empowered.

You're ambitious, caring, and purpose-driven, but your team’s performance is slipping. You need to have some 'difficult' conversations but fear upsetting your team or losing their respect. You want to communicate clearly and directly with compassion.
