The 50 most thoughtful leaders in the UK have been announced as part of the 2023 Kindness & Leadership Listees.
The Leading Lights campaign, organised by Kindness Rules, has identified 50 leaders who are making a difference in business, society and the economy by being kind.
Sponsored by KPMG, some of the leaders on the list include Professor Deirdre Hollingsworth, Professor at the Oxford Big Data Institute; Lady Joyce Obaseki OBE, Chief Executive Director, Grant A Smile CIC and Tom Athron, CEO at Fortnum & Mason.
“It doesn’t just mean being nice,” says listee Dan Chugg CMG, Director for North East Asia & China, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. “It sometimes means taking tough decisions to ensure fairness and equality. It means considering how people FEEL, not just what they think. When you get it right, you get tremendously committed, kind and loyal staff who want to do the best job possible.”
