In KIND, Graham Allcott explores how we can create work cultures that encourage kindness. He argues that, far from being a ‘fluffy’ or nebulous idea, kindness and empathy are 21st century superpowers, which can transform any organization into a dynamic environment where people want to work. The author aims to convince the doubters, as well as helping already ‘kindful’ people, to articulate the power of kindness and make a stronger case for its greater profile in their working environments.

Harvard Professor Amy Edmondson has spent four decades arguing that productive failure hold the key to lasting success. The world's leading expert on psychological safety, her research has shown that the most successful environments are those in which we can fail effectively - without our mistakes being held against us. Now, Edmondson offers a revolutionary framework to get these failures right. She outlines the three archetypes of failure - simple, complex, and intelligent - before revealing how to minimise the consequences of the bad failures and maximise the potential of the good.

When you leverage the power of kindness, you reinvent how you perform, collaborate, inspire, and lead. But what is "kindness?" Is it just about being nice? We discuss how people, culture, and leadership values make up a powerful force that affects our life for better (or worse). The focus is on kindness as an underlying factor. Ultimately, our goal is to create a world guided and strengthened by kind leaders.

Every great leader who changed this world for the better refused to be nice. This is a book about performance, and human performance cannot excel if we are unhealthy. Far too many of our most important teams—from our families to our work units—are unhealthy and weak. What is to blame? Being nice!
