Each week, I collect the resources related to leadership, personal growth, and professional development I shared on social media the prior week, with the accompanying quotations.
……..
Gregg Vanourek with Richard Leider, co-author of The Power of Purpose, 4th edition:
“Purpose Demystified” (2-27-25).
“‘[Big P purpose] is having a cause or being committed to something you care about. Little P purpose is what you do when you arise this morning to make a difference in one person’s life. It can take 10 seconds. You can give a hug, a kind word. There are 1,440 purpose moments in a day.'”
……..
Selda Koydemir:
“How to be a resilient, adaptable leader” (4-16-25)
“To lead with greater clarity and purpose, start by identifying the values that truly matter to you.
….
• How do I want to present myself as a leader?
• What personal qualities do I want to bring to leadership?
• How do I want to interact with my team?
• How can I positively impact those I lead?”
……..
S. Chris Edmonds:
“On the cusp of the pandemic, one UK firm fired all 800 staff via a pre-recorded Zoom call.” (4-17-25).
“If leaders want to retain and attract top talent, they must build and sustain a workplace where respect is as important as, if not more important than, results.”

Shaun Aguilera, Great Place to Work:
“What Are Stay Interviews? A Guide with Questions to Retain Your Best Talent” (4-21-25).
“Stay interviews are a great tool to improve employee retention, engagement, and workplace satisfaction. Organizations that prioritize employee feedback and take action on insights from stay interviews build stronger, more resilient workplace cultures.”
C.J. Prince on ideas presented by Carolyn Dewar of McKinsey & Company:
“The Six Mindsets That Set the Best CEOs Apart” (4-24-25).
“The best CEOs relentlessly prioritize. They define their three to five most critical priorities, delegate the rest, and ensure every hour aligns with what only they can do.”
