Each week, I compile the resources related to leadership, personal growth, and professional development that I shared on social media the prior week, with the accompanying quotations.

Joel Wong:
“Hidden Assets: 3 Reasons We Don’t Recognize Our Strengths”
(8-25-26).
“Uncovering your hidden strengths isn’t about boosting your ego. Recognizing them enables you to use them intentionally and make a stronger contribution to others, your organization, and society.”
Helping people identify their strengths is one of the things I do as a coach.

Gary Burnison, CEO of Korn Ferry:
“We-dership” (8-3-26)
“[S]trategy is 90 percent execution. And 90 percent of that execution is people. That’s why our aspiration should truly be the inspiration of others.”
……..
David Grossman:
“Leaders Make the Weather” (8-20-26).
“If the weather on your team isn’t where you want it to be, start small:
• Check in on people before jumping into the agenda
• Thank someone for something specific they did
• Ask ‘What do you think?’ and actively listen
• Follow up on the personal stuff people have shared with you”

Travis Bradberry:
“10 Unmistakable Habits of Utterly Authentic People” (8-14-26).
“Authentic people are deeply in tune with who they are and what they want. Their ability to live their life in harmony with their true selves comes from some clearly discernible habits that any of us can study and incorporate into our repertoire.”

Marcel Schwantes:
“The Case for Becoming a More Human-Centered Leader” (9-4-26).
“Protect people’s dignity. It’s to remind yourself that people are not merely headcount or productivity units. They are valued human beings with goals, interests, dreams and ambitions.“
