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.
……..
Randy Conley, Blanchard:
“The Leader of the Future Is the Leader People Trust Today”
(4-6-26).
“The leader of the future isn’t waiting to emerge someday.
It’s the leader you choose to be today.”
……..
Raju Narisetti, McKinsey, speaks with Stephan Meier, author of The Employee Advantage: How Putting Workers First Helps Business Thrive (2024):
“Author Talks: Why ‘really’ putting your people first pays off”
(10-29-24).
“While many organizations say they care about both customers and employees, not many actually do the hard work on both sides. The customer-centric revolution showed that companies can do the hard work of focusing on the customer. I argue that we should do the same for employees and that every organization that does so will thrive as a result.”
……..
Marlene Chism:
“7 signs your executive team lacks leadership maturity.“(4-6-26).
“A leader’s emotional state strongly influences team climate and performance. Mature leaders still feel pressure, but they have learned to manage their emotions.”
……..
Michael Lee Stallard:
“Hope is a social gift: What leaders can do right now” (4-8-26).
“A leader who communicates a compelling vision of a better future gives their people something to hope toward. A leader who treats each person as a valued individual — not merely as a resource to be deployed — gives their people the dignity that sustains hope. A leader who creates space for people to share their ideas and concerns gives their people the agency that hope requires.”
……..
Joe Folkman:
“Employee Engagement: Why Averages Mislead—and What to Do About It” (4-2-26).
“Over more than two decades of data collection, Zenger Folkman has arrived at one conclusion with uncommon certainty: the single greatest determinant of whether an employee is engaged at work is the effectiveness of their direct manager.”
