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.
……..
Center for Creative Leadership:
“How to Read Your Team’s Psychological Safety in Real Time”
(4-15-26).
“So how do leaders stay ahead of something that shifts this fast? The answer is learning to read the behavioral signals happening in front of them.”
……..
Gregg Vanourek:
“The Self-Focus Trap (and How to Escape It)” (4-24-26).
“You don’t escape self-focus by thinking differently. You escape it by shifting attention outward—into curiosity, contribution, and action.”
……..
John Spence, on the importance of culture:
“The One Thing Your Competitors Cannot Copy” (4-27-26).
“[CEO Darin Woinarowicz’s] philosophy is straightforward: hire highly talented people, take exceptionally good care of them, train them well, and give them the tools and resources they need.
That investment is then directed toward a single priority. In his words, ‘We’re a service organization first, second, third, ninth, 24th.'”
……..
Great Place to Work:
“What matters most to leaders right now” (4-28-26).
“Great Place to Work CEO Michael C. Bush reminded us of the power of hope, and what it can do for people:
‘Without growth, there is no hope. And without hope, there is no growth. We have to spread hope for all.'”
……..
Stephen Joseph, with an edited extract from his book “The Humanistic Psychology of Carl Rogers” (2025):
“What Carl Rogers Meant When He Said the Client Knows Best” (11-14-25).
“For the client-centered therapist or coach, it is understandable that in the initial sessions, people may say what they want to achieve if asked, but over time, as they go deeper in their learning about themselves, new ideas and directions will emerge, ones that may even be contrary to those initially expressed.”
