Leadership Week in Review: July 27-August 2, 2025

by David E. Shellenberger on August 4, 2025

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.
……..

Gary Burnison, CEO of Korn Ferry:

What’s in It for We?” (July 28, 2025).

“Going from me to we is not just food for the leader’s soul—it also nourishes colleagues, teams, and the overall organization. Because when people are happy and understand the purpose, they are motivated. And when they are motivated, they will outperform.”
……..

Gavin Brown:

What is Growth Mindset and How to Develop It?” (7-26-25).

“A growth mindset in leadership is the term that explains abilities, intelligence, and talents can be developed through dedication, hard work, and continuous learning. Leaders with a growth mindset view challenges as opportunities to develop rather than as threats to their authority or status.”
……..

Frank Sonnenberg:

What’s Right Is Right” (7-29-25).

“Seek the truth rather than follow the crowd. Think for yourself. One or many believers don’t determine the truth or untruth.”
……..

Jim Harter, Gallup:

Employee Engagement vs. Employee Satisfaction and Organizational Culture” (7-29-25).

“Engaged employees are emotionally invested in their work and committed to their organization’s success. …. This engagement isn’t random — it’s built through clear expectations, opportunities to do what they do best, meaningful development and feeling heard.”
……..

Bill George:

Do You Have a Passion for Your Purpose?” (7-31-25).

“Your personal passion for purpose is your most powerful asset. Nurture it, stay true to it, and it will guide you, and those you lead, through any challenge.”
