Notes on Resilience 139: Scaling Without Losing Your Soul, with Kenny Lange
How do you build an organization that grows without losing its soul?
Kenny Lange believes the answer lies in compassionate leadership—but not in the way most people think.
Kenny challenges the false dichotomy between organizational success and staying true to principles and argues that accountability represents one of the highest forms of compassion. In fact, organizational policies can often hinder authentic connection--they reflect what we do, not who we are.
We also discuss why leaders struggle with compassion: they're being asked to give something they never received. With most people receiving their first management position a decade before receiving any leadership training, it's no wonder we see gaps in human-centered leadership. His solution? Start with self-compassion, then extend that same grace to teams while maintaining clear boundaries.
