GoKawiilEntrepreneur op-ed: ex-teacher exec says classroom rules shape her leadership style
An entrepreneur and former teacher writes that principles she used in the classroom now guide how she runs her team, distinguishing 'kindness' from mere 'niceness' in leadership. She argues that kindness means giving honest feedback and clear expectations to help people grow, while niceness only protects feelings temporarily. She also frames personal boundaries as a form of kindness that preserves a leader's judgment and energy.
