Lead With Kindness: How to Change the Culture of the Workplace and the World

Kindness is a powerful tool for success in the workplace and beyond.

With over twenty years of experience as a TV producer, writer, and showrunner, Melinda Hsu survived brutally toxic environments during her rise through the ranks of an incredibly demanding industry. Despite these challenges, she emerged as an accomplished and respected role model for leading with intentional kindness—and not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because it’s good for business.

Consider Lead With Kindness your handbook for how to instill and sustain kindness-driven business practices in order to create successful outcomes. With concise insights and tough love, Hsu offers clear guidance to those who yearn for more functional, efficient, humane, and high-achieving workplaces and group collaborations.

You don’t have to be a leader or an altruist to benefit from this book. Hsu’s proven and result-oriented strategies, tactics, and methods can be applied from anywhere within a workplace ecosystem or a group of individuals. In ten brief (because time is precious) chapters, she presents a compelling and accessible roadmap for implementing kindness—and its supporting tenets of inclusion, trust, love, calm, transparency, work-life integration, accountability, safety, and service—as a means to achieve a more effective and lasting impact in every sphere of your life.
