Abstract
In the global context of increasing complexity and competition, where there has been an erosion of public trust in both public and private sector organisations and their leaders, the practice of leading with a kind heart has gained increasing attention. There are calls for a more inclusive, authentic and connected form of leadership which revives humanity and enhances meaning in life and work. Developing HE leadership with heart requires a paradigm shift. We carry a core responsibility for the culture of our institutions. Therefore, we must demonstrate and propagate kindness through openness, authenticity, compassion and courage. This chapter uncovers the key elements of leading with heart, with a focus on how we can lead a heart-infused revolution in our own back yard.
