In this 'off-the-cuff' recording my guest, Vinita Temmert, and I discussing how we must move beyond having a 'duty of care' for others and actually have a direct demonstrable accountability and responsibility for everyone, no matter our position or status.The recording is picked up after Vinita and I were on a call discussing how we can help companies transform from a non-compassionate operating model to a thriving compassionate one. There was so much great information that I had to hit the record button so that I can turn it into this Podcast episode. We also talk about how as business leaders, owners and managers we must re-evaluate how our company is operating. The world of business is at an inflection point and I suggest that the point was hit in 2020. We are at a crisis point and the WHO have suggested that we are about to enter a global suicide pandemic. We can no longer ignore our need to make our organisations more compassionate. It is no longer a 'nice strategy' it has become 'a must do'.Listen in and watch s we continue the conversation...#compassion #thecompassionshow #compassioninbusiness #compassionateleadership #peopledevelopment

My guest in this episode is the fabulous Paul Gunn, CEO of KUOG Corporation and Author of 'Succeed The Right Way'.  Paul believes that Leaders can be successful while being kind; in fact, they can be far more successful than they ever dreamed.Paul goes on, in his book, that the path to massive, lasting, and peaceful success is not one of domination and defeat; it’s a path walked by a quiet warrior whose weapons are caring and compassion.Qualities such as empathy, compassion, and kindness have long been seen as weaknesses in business but Succeed the Right Way demonstrates how these qualities can be the most powerful forces in achieving success. Using studies and real-life examples, Gunn takes you through the human experience, focusing on business, and instructs you how to live a successful life based on kindness.Most of us are good people, and it’s exhausting to live a false life where no compassion or empathy can be expressed. Operating with shields up all the time, because we are terrified of being seen as weak, is not sustainable and is unhealthy. But these grossly misunderstood gentle qualities are actually stronger than thoughtless aggression, and they allow us to live in peace.Come in and join us for the very light-hearted and lively conversation.To find out more about Pauls book please go to https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Succeed-the-Right-Way/Paul-L-Gunn/9781637350942#compassion #thecompassionshow #compassioninbusiness #compassionateleadership #peopledevelopment
