Nice vs. Kind, and Why Nice Might Be Hurting Your Team | Andrea Herbert
Being nice and being kind aren't the same thing, and mixing them up is quietly hurting your team. Nice is surface level. Kind is real, honest, sometimes a little uncomfortable, and it's what actually moves people and moves a business forward. Dr. Ebony I. Green sits down with Andy Herbert, CEO and founder of Be Kind Life, who spent years inside big companies watching people dread Sunday nights. She built her practice on one idea: kindness is not a soft skill, it's a business skill, and the numbers prove it. They get into: why "nice" leaders actually hurt their teams, coaching people into leadership before you drop them in, celebrating wins with the same energy you give tough feedback, how to lead a team that doesn't trust you because their last leader hurt them, why trust is built in drops and lost in buckets, burnout and quiet cracking, and why the people you should really worry about are the ones who don't quit. Kindness is a business advantage. Come sit with us. Book Dr. Ebony: hellokindsoul.com @iamhellokindsoul Support the show Want to support us?
