Want to lead? Stop being “nice".

“Nice” leadership holds people back, here’s why:
Too many leaders mistake being nice for being kind.
Being "nice" doesn’t solve problems.
It doesn’t build trust or push people to grow.
It simply avoids conflict, leaving issues unresolved.
Think about a time when your leader was just "nice." They:
Avoided conflict
Ignored problems
Sugarcoated feedback
Maybe it felt good at first, but did you really grow from it?
Being kind is different.
Leadership isn’t a popularity contest.
It’s about creating a space where people feel:
Challenged
Supported
Trusted
Kindness does that.
Niceness doesn’t.

🚨 NEW: We’re scrapping single headline Ofsted judgements with immediate effect.
Ofsted judgements have been high stakes for schools, low information for parents.
We’ll:
✅ Give parents more transparency
✅ Drive high & rising standards
✅ Pave the way for school report cards
Ahead of #GCSEresults tomorrow, it's worth bearing in mind the disruption to their learning that this year's cohort have endured since the pandemic, writes @DanWorth#ResultsDay
