About this ebook
Drawing from social science research, The Nurturing Leader provides a powerful alternative to traditional leadership models that prioritize authority and control. Leaders should embrace a leadership style that embodies what researchers call “communal” leadership traits: empathy, compassion, support, collaboration, and kindness. Through discussions of belonging, well-being, and ethical decision-making, the author demonstrates how nurturing leaders build community trust and resilience, highlighting ways that good leaders cultivate well-being among their students and team, and balance in their own lives.
