A little compassion goes a long way. For the individuals in this comic, care and concern takes many extra miles towards improving the lives of others.* Mother Teresa, Saint of the Gutters, took care of the poor, the sickly and the ostracised; * Martin Luther King Jr used the non-violent approach to fight for racial equality; * Florence Nightingale gave up a life of comfort and freedom to nurse the sick; * Teresa Hsu adopted the poor and hungry to take care of their daily needs... at 100 years of age! Other kind souls featured here include Albert Schweitzer, Rabindranath Tagore and Jane Goodall.

"Kindness and leadership aren't often synonymous. Ask someone to describe "good leadership" to you and you will hear many adjectives used: authentic, bold, challenging, charismatic, decisive, empowering, fearless, goal-oriented, humble, inspiring, original, passionate, role-model, strategic and transparent, to name of a few. And though there are many more that come to mind, kindness isn't one of them. And here's the problem with that. Leaders lead. And the way a leader leads - how they do what they do - influences those they lead. From the president of the country, to the president of a company, from middle managers, right down to front-line supervisors, what a leader models - how they think, speak and act - influences the people they lead. Leaders who think, speak and act unkindly give legitimacy and permission to those they lead to think, speak, and act in exactly the same unkind ways. Today, in a world where a leaders' words and actions travel quickly through social media channel s such as Twitter, their influence - unkind or kind - is amplified through repeated views and sharing. In an increasingly fragmented, polarized and divided world, we need leaders who will bring people together not divide them. Leaders who value and model cooperation and collaboration over competition. And who model ways to think kindly, speak kindly and act kindly. We need kindness to become synonymous with good leadership. So that when someone is asked to describe the traits of a good leader, kindness will be the first word that comes to mind. Essentially, the purpose of this book is to teach leaders how to lead with kindness so they can influence the people they lead to create kinder workplaces, organizations and the world. Each chapter contains a mixture of theory, case studies and reflections from leaders and the people they influence. As well, the book follows the fictional stories of Kay'La Janson and Kevin Landrell, as they become leaders in a failing organization that is ultima tely turned around through kind leadership. Between chapters there are a series of practical exercises based on concepts presented in the previous chapter with space to record outcomes and reflections on the practice process. This book gives you a deep theoretical understanding of the importance of leading with kindness and also provides practical exercises for you to use to turn theory into practice. Because "change means doing things differently," and because we only really "learn by doing" to create kinder organizations, kinder communities and a kinder world, leaders must be able to begin practicing kindness right away. By the time you finish the book, you will feel confident in your ability to lead with kindness and also to address organizational problems at work, at home and in the community, with kindness"--back cover.

In 2020, Singapore, with the rest of the world was struck by the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a difficult time. People stayed at home for extended periods as students adopted distance learning and adults started working from home. The new normal also brought the need for new skills and introduced new terms like front-liners, circuit breakers and safe-distancing measures. Stories of Kindness is a compilation of articles from The Pride that celebrates individuals and organisations that showed graciousness during a time of need. These stories feature those who have gone above and beyond to help fellow Singaporeans who face physical and financial challenges as well as those who battle mental wellness issues. Inspiring and heart-warming, this collection of 39 stories reminds us that there is kindness in everyone and finds a silver lining in a global pandemic -- that in times of trouble, instead of stepping away, people will step up to show charity, compassion, and consideration for others. About Singapore Kindness Movement:Kindness is in everyone. The Singapore Kindness Movement wants to encourage everyone to start, show and share kindness. We aspire to inspire graciousness -- one kind act at a time. By sparing a thought for the people around us, we hope to create a gracious society, and make life better for you and me. SKM is a non-government, non-profit organisation, as well as a registered charity and Institution of Public Character.
