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.
……..
Gary Burnison, CEO of Korn Ferry:
“From ‘I’ to ‘We‘” (4-28-25).
“As we reflect on our own lives, no doubt we’ve all had those moments when someone stepped in and believed—in us and for us. The fact is our primary role as leaders is inspiring others to believe and enabling that belief to become reality.”
……..
Soren Kaplan:
“What makes you smart? It’s not just your IQ, it’s also your life experience.” (4-29-25).
“[Experiential intelligence is] everything you’ve learned from living your life. It’s your ability to apply your personal experience, adapt to challenges, and create opportunities that others might not even see.”
……..
Claire Hastwell, Great Place to Work:
“The Link Between Employee Development and Performance Management: Creating a Culture of Growth” (3-14-25).
“Companies that invest in employee development do not just attract better people, they drive innovation and long-term success. The most sought-after professionals are not looking for static jobs; they are looking for careers that evolve.”
……..
Mark Matousek interviews Kristin Neff:
“Self-Compassion Supports Us Through Loss and Failure”
(4-29-25).
“The more our heart is open, the more we’re in touch with compassion, the more resources we have available to give other people. Self-compassion is what allows us to have the resources to care for others.”
……..
Marshall Cooper:
“The Role of the CEO In Turbulent Times” (5-2-25).
“[Peter Drucker’s protege, Frances Hesselbein] understood the importance of focusing on who you are, rather than what you do. For individuals, that means character and values, and for organizations, that means mission and purpose. In times of change, she taught the paradox that the ultimate response was to know what should never change.”
