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 1—The Courage to Connect” (8-4-25).
“Cultures of connection, where people care about each other and the work, create energy, community, and a sense of togetherness that fuels productivity and innovation.”
……..
Andy Lopata:
“Don’t Just Tell Your Team What to Do—Tell Them Why” (4-15-25).
“Linking a request to an overarching objective gives a purpose to the work, and, as Penn’s [Adam] Grant has shown, people are more motivated when they feel that their work has meaning.”
……..
Andy J. Yap, INSEAD:
“Impactful Communication for Leaders” (7-28-25).
“[A]uthenticity is not simply about ‘being yourself.’ Instead, it is about aligning what you say and do with your values. When leaders demonstrate this alignment and speak with conviction, they build an important asset: trust.”
……..
Rupinder Bahniwal et al.:
“Prioritizing Health | It’s Good to Feel Good: Joy, Connection and CV Health” (8-1-25).
“Fostering joy, optimism and positive social connections is beneficial for mental health – and a powerful tool for preventing and managing cardiovascular disease. A holistic approach to well-being that integrates all these strategies provides protective benefits for overall heart health.”

Jennifer Moss:
“Hardcore Culture Returns, But at What Cost?” (8-8-25).
“Autonomy, purpose, and psychological safety are not soft metrics. They are the foundation of sustainable high performance. Fear may get people in the office, but it doesn’t increase their performance.”
