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.
……..
Scott Barry Kaufman, 2011:
“The Will and Ways of Hope” (12-26-11)
“In 1991, the eminent positive psychologist Charles R. Snyder and his colleagues came up with Hope Theory. According to their theory, hope consists of agency and pathways. The person who has hope has the will and determination that goals will be achieved, and a set of different strategies at their disposal to reach their goals.”

S. Chris Edmonds:
“Respect is declining at work. Here’s how to fix it” (1-27-26).
“Be consistently kind, treating others in a professional, friendly manner.”
……..
Frank Sonnenberg:
“Live Your Life — Don’t Control Mine” (1-27-26).
“If you truly care about people, help them build confidence, self-esteem, and self-reliance. These grow from strong moral character, a solid education, and deeply rooted values. Simply put, set people free — not to lose them, but to help them find themselves.”

Larry Robertson:
“Reflection Might Be a Leader’s Greatest Asset. Here’s Why So Many Are Missing Out on It” (2-1-26).
“It’s true that reflecting backward has the potential to help you mine the ground for hidden gems. However, if leaders don’t also reflect forward on how they can change or reshape things, they’re likely to do more tweaking or shoring up than true innovating.”

Joe Folkman:
“The Real Cost of Leadership Development? Zero.” (2-6-26).
“For poor leaders (those in the bottom 10%), only 18% of their employees were willing to give extra effort. But for the best leaders, 71% indicated they were willing to go the extra mile.”
