Science shows that when bosses focus on helping people, everyone wins.

Real Actions, Real Results

Leaders who act this way:

  • Listen well
  • Treat people fairly
  • Ensure everyone feels safe
  • Help employees grow

These actions aren't just good for people—they're good for business. Studies prove that kind leaders see:

  • More creativity
  • Happier workers
  • Better results

Experts Spreading the Message

Two experts are at the forefront of this movement:

  • Emiliana Simon-Thomas: Studies how kindness affects our brains and health.
  • Kia Afari: Helps companies become kinder places to work.

They're hosting an event called "Why Kind Leaders Win" to share their insights.

Event Highlights

At this event, big-name leaders and researchers will talk about kindness in business. Speakers include:

  • CEOs
  • Professors who've studied the power of kindness

One study even found that kind leaders:

  • Make companies more valuable
  • Make customers happier

A Call to Action

Simon-Thomas and Afari want to start a change. They believe kindness shouldn't be a side program—it should be at the heart of every company.

If your boss isn't kind, maybe it's time to find a better job. Kindness isn't just a nice idea—it's a smart way to lead.
