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 3—The Heat of Conflict“
“One of the best ways to build trust in conflict is by honoring what’s called the Law of Reciprocity. It’s a simple truth: people tend to reflect the behavior they receive. Trust begets trust. Respect invites respect.”
……..
Ute Stephan:
“Entrepreneurial Well-Being:
What Science Shows and How to Build on It” (8-19-25).
“Entrepreneurs and their supporters should view investments in safeguarding entrepreneurs’ well-being not just as ‘nice to have’ or an ‘add-on,’ but as investments in the sustainability of their businesses.”
……..
Linda Fisher Thornton:
“How Do Ethical Leaders Think?” (8-13-25).
• “They are guided by a desire to have a positive impact.
• They think about what’s best for others, and seek mutual benefit.
• They think about ways to demonstrate their values in day-to-day leadership.

Julie Winkle Giulioni:
“Contentment is not an excuse for opting out of development”
(8-14-25).
“[H]elp employees redefine development. Let them know that growth can happen right within the role they currently love. Uncover their interests and find ways for them to pursue those right where they are.”
……..
S. Chris Edmonds:
“Tolerating toxic behaviors enables and embeds a toxic culture”
(8-21-25).
“At the root of it, a toxic culture usually starts at the top, when leadership is absent, tolerant, inconsistent, or just not setting the right tone.”
