Deadline: 2 September 2019
Kindness & Leadership 2019 Campaign opens to recognise the contribution of kind leaders to business, the economy and society.
This campaign will showcase 50 leaders building a new status quo, impacting others through kindness. It will share their stories and leadership styles, and the effect they have on their organisation and industries.
This Campaign wants their stories to inspire others, and to help to recast the perceptions of ‘strong’ leadership. They want kindness to be seen as a strength in leadership, as a quality and a currency that empowers change.
This Campaign recognises that a kind leader is defined not just by what they say and do, but by how what they say and do effects those around them. As such, each nomination will also need to be supported by two testimonials of support. These testimonials must come from people who have been impacted by the candidate.
Together with the Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, they have explored the characteristics associated with kind leaders, those who are deeply thoughtful of others and show: humanity, generosity and compassion, and are dedicated to supporting the well-being of others and fostering a spirit of collaboration. These are the traits that they will be looking for, within the nomination.
