Being 'Too Nice' At Work As A Leader: Disadvantages & Advantages

Overview:

We examine the real advantages and disadvantages of being perceived as a 'nice leader'. Participants will learn how to distinguish between healthy empathy and unhelpful people‑pleasing, and how to adjust their leadership posture depending on context.
