Ever notice that your clothing only seems to get caught on things when you're in a bad mood? It's like the front door handle is waiting to grab me whenever I’m running late and stressed.
We all like to believe we can leave our personal baggage behind when we arrive at work, but it doesn’t always happen that way. As a leader, rather than getting frustrated with a late employee, take a moment to ask what’s going on. Lead with curiosity and seek to understand their situation before jumping to conclusions about their work ethic or commitment.
By leading with kindness, you create an environment where people feel supported rather than judged. Compassion fosters trust, and trust builds stronger, more engaged teams.
