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.
……..
Candace Smith:
“Bringing Out Your Best Behavior” (2-21-26).
“[B]y making a conscious effort to be on your best behavior, you can make a positive impact on those around you and navigate different situations with confidence. Remember, good manners never go out of style!”
……..
Nick Turner et al.:
“What it really means to love your job — and when that love can become a liability” (2-16-26).
“Supporting love of the job means creating conditions where enjoyment, commitment, and connection can develop organically through meaningful work, supportive leadership and healthy job design. Love of the job does not replace good management; it depends on it.”
……..
Massimo Pigliucci:
“You can only truly master one thing, according to Epictetus”
(1-29-26).
“This is what Epictetus means by mastery. It’s not about dominating external circumstances, but cultivating our capacity for sound judgment. In doing so, we shape our intentions, our values, and, ultimately, our character. Everything else we can only influence, never fully control.”
……..
Center for Creative Leadership:
“Leadership Resilience: Handling Stress, Uncertainty & Setbacks” (1-21-26).
“Develop a ‘personal why’ that gives your life meaning. Having a sense of purpose in leadership will help you and your team better face uncertainty, setbacks, and challenges. Also, look for ways that crisis and adversity may connect to your purpose; often, meaningful life lessons can be gleaned from hardships.”
……..
John Spence:
“The Score Takes Care of Itself” (2-9-25).
“A leader who focuses on annual results will make short-term decisions that undermine long-term performance. A leader who focuses on building the right culture, developing the right people, and executing the right processes creates an organization that performs consistently over time.”
