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.
……..
Robertson Hunter Stewart:
“Time to Manage” (12-14-25).
“Most leaders deliberately protect time for what is important but not urgent: strategy, thinking, people, and long-term decisions. Leaders also delegate effectively.”
……..
Bruce Rosenstein:
“Reinvent Yourself for a New Age of Discovery” (10-23-25).
“Reinvention requires introspection, creativity, curiosity, diligence, the desire for change, and the willingness to reach out to others for information, advice, and connections.”
……..
Suzi McAlpine:
“The power of metaphor in leadership: Lessons from an orange and a plum” (11-26-25).
“My dad was a master of metaphor. Thanks to him, I’ll never see the Earth without imagining a plum orbiting an orange. His simple picture helped me understand my world and it stayed with me for life.
As a leader, you have that same opportunity. Use metaphor to leave lasting pictures in people’s minds. Help your team see what you see and make the complex simpler.”
……..
Bob Chapman, Chairman of Barry-Wehmiller:
“As a Leader, Do You Have Courageous Patience?” (12-18-25).
“Our philosophy of ‘courageous patience’ has been a key factor in our transformation. If you’re willing to be patient and stay true to your vision, you’ll eventually see sustained results both culturally and financially. But it takes time to build momentum and get up to speed.”
……..
Daniel Goleman:
“Why AI Could Expose Bad Leaders” (12-15-25).
“[A] leader’s own emotional steadiness becomes imperative. Calm stabilizes a team under pressure, while stress destabilizes it faster than ever before.”
