Over the last number of years we have heard more and more about bringing a greater degree of kindness into the workplace. At first glance this seems to make sense, who couldn’t use a little more kindness in their lives? But has kindness become overrated? Is it possible to have too much of a good thing? It has been suggested that this is, in fact, the case and that a person or company can lose their competitive edge by being too kind and nice guys do indeed finish last. In this session we will explore these ideas and discuss what place kindness has in today’s workplace, what the limitations might be, and how it can contribute to creating a great place to work.
