Leadership Week in Review: August 10-16, 2025

by David E. Shellenberger on August 18, 2025

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:

“Shades of Trust”
Week 2—The Weight of Integrity” (8-11-25).

“When we say a bridge or building has structural integrity, we mean it’s sound, sturdy, and stable. So it is with a person of integrity. That person is steady and consistent in their behavior.”
……..

Linda Fisher Thornton:

Help Young People Center Themselves in Values” (6-11-25).

“Young people need help learning how to succeed in living positive ethical values in a world filled with distractions, conflict, and negative messages. Our job is to help them center themselves in positive ethical values and get to know themselves as good people. We can be a filter, an interpreter and a beacon for them as they find their way.”
……..

Ted Kitterman, Great Place to Work:

Remote Work Isn’t the Reason Your Company Can’t Innovate
(8-4-25).

“It’s not enough to bring everyone together in a room for a brainstorming session. What really unlocks innovation is when leaders know the specific backgrounds and strengths of the people on their team and form higher levels of trust.”
……..

S. Chris Edmonds:

Want Boosts in Productivity, Retention, and Collaboration? Create a Culture of Respect.” (8-14-25).

“Respectful work cultures don’t happen by default. They happen only by design. Start yours now.”
……..

Travis Bradberry:

10 Things Genuinely Confident People Do Differently” (8-5-25).

“People with confidence listen more than they speak because they don’t feel as though they have anything to prove. Confident people know that by actively listening and paying attention to others, they are much more likely to learn and grow.”
