Call for Nominations: Asia Pacific Kindness & Leadership Campaign

This campaign will showcase 50 leaders building a new status quo, impacting others through kindness. They will share their stories and leadership styles, and the effect they have on their organisation and industries.

They want their stories to inspire others, and to help to recast the perceptions of ‘strong’ leadership. They want kindness to be seen as a strength in leadership, as a quality and a currency that empowers change.

Kind leaders change lives, transform organisations and collaborate. Kind leaders inspire creativity and productivity, share meaningful connections, and give their time so that others can give their best. By empowering others to succeed, kind leaders create an environment for the organisation as a whole to succeed. They need to recognise the contribution of these leaders to business, the economy and society.
