In the broad range of leadership skills, kindness is inherently quieter, more personal and harder to see - and yes, less interesting or cinematic than controversial tweets and 'bullying boss' behaviour. But kindness builds empathy and trust, which ultimately creates a sense of psychological safety - and that safety leads to more creativity; a better quality of decision-making; safer critical thinking; higher levels of staff loyalty, flexibility and retention; a heightened sense of engagement; and, ultimately, higher productivity and profitability. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eKIND\u003c\/i\u003e, Graham Allcott explores how we can create work cultures that encourage kindness. He argues that, far from being a 'fluffy' or nebulous idea, kindness and empathy are 21st century superpowers, which can transform any organization into a dynamic environment where people want to work. The author aims to convince the doubters, as well as helping already 'kindful' people, to articulate the power of kindness and make a stronger case for its greater profile in their working environments. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on psychology and neuroscience as well as management theory and business research, he shows how kindness helps encourage productive and positive work cultures. From busting three important myths that need to be addressed to engage the more cynical reader - or the reader's more cynical colleagues - to covering 'The Eight Principles of Kindfulness at Work', Graham Allcott offers practical advice on how to make kindfulness part of the fabric of your working life so both you and your team can thrive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGraham Allcott\u003c\/b\u003e is the founder of Think Productive (https: \/\/thinkproductive.co.uk), as well as a well-known author and speaker; his five books include the global bestseller, \u003ci\u003eHow to be a Productivity Ninja. \u003c\/i\u003eHe is also active on social media platforms and with his weekly email, \u003ci\u003eRev Up for the Week\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eHow to be a Productivity Ninja\u003c\/i\u003e has sold over 100,000 copies in the UK alone, and been translated into several languages, including Dutch, Spanish, German, Thai, Mandarin, Russian and Arabic. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e He's also an experienced speaker, having presented at \u003ci\u003eTalks at Google\u003c\/i\u003e, several times for the London Business Forum, General Assembly, and for 100+ corporate clients including Barclays, Amazon, Zoopla, T-Rowe Price, Volkswagen, Audi, eBay, Canon and Global Radio.
