Now, more than ever, we need the peace and comfort of quiet places. I stood here for a long time yesterday and listened to the silence, marvelled at the perfect white that nestled in every swoop and curve of the land, and thought about how reassuringly brief and small we all are.
I had a conversation today about the difference between "kindness" & "niceness" in leadership so I decided to post about it. The article & graphic explain why, as leaders, we should choose kindness over niceness. Kindness is about caring enough to push people toward greatness, even when it’s uncomfortable. It’s a harder path but better in the long run:

"I will cut adrift - I will sit on pavements and drink coffee -
I will dream; I will take my mind out of its iron cage and let it swim - this fine October."
