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.

Travis Bradberry:
“9 Things Smart People Won’t Do” (7-7-25).
“[Y]ou can always take people’s opinions with a grain of salt. That way, no matter what other people are thinking or doing, your self-worth comes from within.”

Joel Trammell:
“6 Habits of People-Centric Leaders” (7-8-25).

S. Chris Edmonds:
“It’s a secret! Well, no. Here’s the top thing that drives employee satisfaction.” (7-3-25).
“Our research on workplace respect tells us some leaders in your organization consistently demonstrate respect to their employees. Some others are supportive allies.

Jack Gordon and Marshall Goldsmith:

You can be a more effective ‘human in the loop’ by refining your ability to formulate clear, specific, and context-rich queries, and obtain more useful solutions and actionable insights as a result.”
