Kindness is paramount, and cruelty is toxic in the workplace. I find Gov. Pritzker's statement, however, to be a mixed message — albeit emblematic of how empathy, kindness, and compassion are being proselytized in HR and business circles. If we perceive an act of cruelty — or even objectively observe cruelty — dismissing that person as an "idiot" isn't compassion. Even when an unkind worker has to be confronted or fired, we needn't dehumanize them. Gov. Pritzker quite literally dehumanizes them here, by arguing that they have not evolved past their animal instincts. The empathetic and compassionate approach is to investigate how we can help a seemingly unkind person heal (often, we won't be able to — it requires collective effort). It's easy to show compassion to those whose actions and values resemble our own. Showing kindness to those who seem unkind, however, is the greater aspiration (and probably a healthier perspective for work teams). As we listen carefully to Gov. Pritzker in the video — including the harsh correlation he draws between kindness and intelligence — we find that his words are not marked with compassion. This offers a lesson that may be valuable as we hear the oversimplified evangelism of empathy that's grown so popular among HR and business leaders. (Disclaimer: I know Pritzker is a politician and is implicitly offering a political argument, but let's set that aside. Also, I almost never re-share viral posts on LinkedIn, but this time I thought it was important for context.)

As an HR leader and coach to C-suite executives, I resonate with this post from Hacking HR and JB Pritzkers speech asserting that the smartest person in the room is often the kindest. Throughout HR my career, I have encountered leaders who proudly proclaim themselves as “the smartest” in their organization. While their impressive education and credentials may justify such claims, their actions and attitudes often betray a different reality. Cruelty and toxicity in leadership erode respect and undermine the value one brings to the table. I’m honored for being witness to those who have unlocked this misconception for themselves doing the work . Leadership is about more than just intelligence. True smartness lies in kindness, empathy, and the ability to inspire and uplift others. It’s about being a cornerstone of support and a beacon of positivity within your company. How are you challenging yourself as a leader today? Let’s lead with kindness and transform the way leadership is perceived and practiced. #Leadership #Kindness #HR #ExecutiveCoach #CorporateCulture #JBPrizter #LeadershipDevelopment #Csuite
