Ep#197 Is the “Nice Boss” Really Dead?

Forbes says leaders are ditching empathy in favour of hard-nosed results. I say: false dichotomy. Great leaders know people are the path to profits.In this episode, I pull apart the “nice vs. tough boss” argument and show why heart-centred leadership isn’t soft — it’s smarter, more sustainable, and far more effective. Along the way I draw on research and wisdom from Jim Collins, Shawn Achor, Brené Brown, Ed Catmull, Simon Sinek, Dan Sullivan, and others.You’ll hear:Why empathy and performance aren’t opposites.The hidden cost of fear-based, metrics-obsessed management.How psychological safety and trust drive innovation and profits.Why “nice” isn’t enough — but genuine, human-centred leadership is essential.If you’ve been wondering how to lead in today’s climate of uncertainty and pressure — this episode shows you a better way.🔗 Links mentioned:Forbes: Why Leaders Are Ditching the 'Nice Boss'Amantha Imber: 8 Things That Make My Organisational Psychologist Brain ExplodeSend us a text----------------------------------- Burnout Resources:Start 1-on-1 burnout recovery at https:/mini.dexrandall.comChat with Dex AI Coach https://app.coachvox.ai/share/dexrandallConfidential.
