The Kindness & Leadership, 50 Leading Lights UK campaign aims to radically challenge the global leadership conversation by placing a spotlight on leaders around the world who are using the power of kindness to make a massive impact in business and to empower change. They work towards building a new status quo, sharing advice and expertise from leaders and recognising the contribution of kind leaders to business, the economy and society. The list for the 2023 leaders has been released.
