Kindness and productivity are not opposing forces in business. In fact, kindness can be a powerful driver of success when treated as a practical approach rather than just a nice-to-have value.
Shifting from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset, and focusing on collaboration rather than competition, can transform how teams work together.
Graham Allcott is an author and the founder of Think Productive, a global company that helps teams improve their work through productivity and leadership training. He’s written multiple books, including the international bestseller How to be a Productivity Ninja. His latest book, Kind, explores the relationship between kindness and business success.
Three reasons to listen
- Shift your thinking to create more opportunities for kindness
- Build stronger teams without defaulting to competitive behaviour
- Create ripple effects of positive change by understanding how self-kindness and kindfulness influence team dynamics
