Each week, I compile the resources related to leadership, personal growth, and professional development I shared on social media the prior week, with the accompanying quotations.
……..
Great Place to Work:
“Why employees quit suddenly (and how to spot it early)”
(4-14-26).
“If someone feels like a full and respected member of the team, regardless of role, they’re 104% more likely to stay.”
……..
Travis Bradberry:
“In an AI World, EQ Is Your Unfair Advantage” (4-17-26).
“Emotional intelligence is the defining characteristic in a world of artificial intelligence. Because in the end, no matter how advanced technology becomes, people will still want to be understood. They will still want to be led well. They will still want to trust. They will still want to matter.
And the people who know how to meet those needs—while everyone else is distracted by tools—are indispensable.”
……..
Gary Burnison, CEO of Korn Ferry:
“More Than a Feeling” (4-13-26).
“[People] respond to connection ….
[E]arly in my tenure as CEO, … a board member said to me, ‘I don’t just want you to be successful—I am going to ensure you are successful.’
Then he hugged me and gave me an invaluable piece of advice: ‘Never forget that your job is to make people feel better after every conversation than they did before.'”
……..
Paul McCarthy:
“The Cost of Thinking Differently as a Leader” (4-20-26).
“Curiosity improves performance – but is often suppressed because it slows things down or challenges authority.
So we say we want innovation. But we penalize the behaviours that create it.”
………
Ronald E. Riggio:
“5 Signs That Your Boss Is a Toxic Leader” (4-23-23).
“In most instances, the best course is to exit the situation, if possible. Stay aware of other available positions in another part of the organization or in another company.”
