Guest: Graham Allcott: Author, Speaker and Entrepreneur Graham is the author of multiple books, including the global bestseller How to Be a Productivity Ninja. His latest book, KIND: The Quiet Power of Kindness at Work, focuses on why organisations with kinder, more human-centred cultures are ultimately more successful. He is the founder of Think Productive, which since 2009 has been a professional development go-to for a variety of companies, including Amazon, British Airways, Disney, eBay, the British Red Cross and many more – and with offices in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UAE and the Netherlands. It happens gently and quietly but leads to spectacular results. And it's often thought that we have to choose between a kind working environment and a high-performing one. In the range of leadership skills, kindness is inherently quieter, more personal, harder to see – and yes, less interesting or cinematic than controversial tweets and ‘bullying boss' behaviour. But the most successful leaders and organizations recognise that kindness builds empathy, trust and psychological safety, the cornerstones of so many desirable traits and outcomes in many businesses: 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 higher productivity and profitability. Join us as we discuss how kindness builds empathy, trust and psychological safety. Listen Live (Archive Available) Host: Jo Moffatt
