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.
……..
Limei Hoang:
“When leadership is stripped back, what’s revealed?” (1-12-26).
“Whether at sea or in business, leadership often lies in choosing when to push, when to pause – and recognising the difference.”
……..
Karin Hurt and David Dye:
“Want a More Creative Team? Stop Saying These Courage Crushing Words” (1-12-26).
“You need language that encourages risk-taking, connection, and possibility. Creativity doesn’t thrive in fear. It thrives in psychological safety, curiosity, and conversation.”
……..
Caroline Benner, 2017:
“How to Choose Goals That Make You Come Alive” (12-28-17).
“People who have intrinsic motivation, who pursue a goal for its own sake, tend to exhibit more perseverance and resilience, says Patty O’Grady of the University of Tampa. In one study, [Kennon] Sheldon found that ‘people are most likely to be effective when they pursue goals that either engage their natural interests or express their authentic personal values.'”

Zack Kass:
“How ‘new work’ will actually take shape in the age of AI”
(1-13-26), excerpted from The Next Renaissance: AI and the Expansion of Human Potential (2026).
“The [companies] that thrive will be those that use [AI] to elevate human contribution, redesign workflows, and give people the freedom to focus on what only they can do. …. Technology won’t define the future of work. Leadership will.”
……..
Joe Mull:
“Record Burnout Isn’t an Attitude Problem” (1-15-26).
“Commitment isn’t something you purchase with a paycheck. …. It’s something that emerges when working conditions are humane.”
