Each week, I compile the resources related to leadership, personal growth, and professional development that I shared on social media the prior week, with the accompanying quotations.
……..
Suzie Bishop and Sam Shriver, The Center for Leadership Studies:
“7 ways to build leadership awareness and adaptability” (6-9-26).
“The most effective leaders are constantly striving for improvement. By building adaptability on a foundation of awareness, you set yourself up to address any situation and show your organization and team members that you care about them and want them to succeed.”
……..
Lara Ewen:
“The disconnect between front-line workers and leadership is growing, report says” (5-28-26).
“There is a widespread cultural disconnect between what leaders think happens on the front lines and what workers say is actually affecting their ability to do their jobs.”
……..
Of course, this disconnect can be resolved, as long as leaders are motivated to do so.

Candace Smith:
“How Eye Contact Transforms Every Connection” (6-14-26).
“When you hold someone’s gaze during a conversation, you communicate without saying a word:
I’m listening.
You have my full attention.
What you’re saying matters to me.
You matter.”

Cathy Bussewitz:
“The skills people still perform better than AI, according to workplace experts” (6-11-26).
“‘The things that make us uniquely human … are going to continue to be the things that help our society thrive in productive ways,’ [Maria Flynn, president and CEO of Jobs for the Future] said. ‘And making sure that we are calling those things out, paying attention to them, making sure those are attributes that folks can name and articulate and feel good about, is going to be key as we all navigate a rapidly changing future.‘”
……..
James R Langabeer:
“The Psychology Behind Effective Leadership” (6-15-26).
“As [Warren] Bennis observed, effective leaders are continuous learners. In an era of rapid change, intellectual humility may be one of the most important skills for sustaining performance and adapting strategy.”
