There's a growing appreciation of the importance of trust for team leadership & effective change. As leaders we are signal generators - our smallest actions & interactions can build or destroy trust. I like this piece on powerful, practical ways we can build trust with our team

We know that acts of kindness ripple out. Not only does the person experiencing that act of kindness feel good, they go on to reciprocate. It's tangible - we know what it feels like to be kind & to experience kindness. Improve someone's day in a moment. @AffinaOD
In times of high anxiety and low morale, kindness is essential, not optional. Research shows that kindness at work can help retain top talent, boost employee engagement, and enhance productivity, making it a crucial attribute for emerging leaders.
