Each week, I collect the resources related to leadership, personal growth, and professional development I shared on social media the prior week, with the accompanying quotations.
……..
Robert Brooks:
“Appreciating a Significant Attribute of Effective Leaders”
(6-23-25).
“I have frequently emphasized the lifelong impact that ‘seemingly small gestures’ or what have been called ‘micromoments’ have on our daily lives. Small gestures of kindness might include a brief positive comment, a smile, or a note of appreciation.”
……..
Karin Hurt:
“Make Meaning to Spark Motivation
(Without Sounding Like a Walking Mission Statement)” (6-16-25).
“Meaning isn’t a cherry on top—it’s the cake. When you help others see the purpose behind the task, you don’t just get things done—you build pride, connection, and momentum.”
……..
S. Chris Edmonds:
“3 pillars of respect” (6-24-25).
“[Master luthier Ervin Somogyi] said that successful candidates for apprenticeships must demonstrate ‘respect for self, others, and the work itself.’ Business leaders want the same thing. They seek leaders and team members who consistently exhibit these three qualities.”

Bill George:
“The Three T’s of True North Leaders: Truth, Transparency, and Trust” (June 26, 2025).
“Authentic leaders surround themselves with truth tellers and embrace the good, the bad, and the ugly.”
……..
C.J. Prince:
“What CEOs Can Learn from Fred Smith’s Extraordinary Leadership” (6-7-25).
“Fred Smith delivered clarity, conviction and courage at a scale few CEOs ever match. As leaders look to navigate today’s volatile terrain, his playbook remains profoundly relevant: see further, decide faster, and stay close to what matters.”
