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.
……..
Randy Conley, Blanchard:
“Listening Well” (6-9-25).
“[P]eople are craving safety, a sense of belonging, and being genuinely valued and appreciated by their leaders. You can be that leader, but you’ve got to listen, and I mean really listen.”
……..
BBC World Service – Outlook:
A dramatic and inspiring story of heroic leadership, demonstrating the power of creating hope and the importance of persevering.
“I promised to rescue 41 men trapped in a tunnel” (6-10-25).
“Arnold [Dix]went on television and made an almighty promise to everyone watching that all 41 men would survive, none of the rescuers would be hurt, and they would do all this by Christmas.”
……..
Joel Zuckerman:
“7 words of gratitude that go a long way” (6-9-25).
“It’s most effective to use praise with no other agenda, not in combination with anything else. …. Just offer gratitude by itself, whether written or spoken, for maximum effect.”
……..
Travis Bradberry:
“11 Surprising Habits of Truly Powerful People” (6-12-25).
“Powerful people always expect the best. They believe in their own power to achieve their dreams, and they believe that others share that same power. …. They firmly believe that one person can change the world.”
……..
Julie Winkle Giulioni:
“The uncertainty trap: Stop ‘waiting it out’ and start ‘working it out’” (6-12-25).
“[I]n times when answers are incomplete or evolving, leaders may not be able to provide certainty, but they can always offer clarity.
This starts with reaffirming what doesn’t change: the ‘why’ behind the work, the vision that drives the organization, and the values that anchor decision-making.”
