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:
“Leadership, With Grace” (2-1-26).
“[A]bove all, leadership is grounded in Grace.
For grace is what makes us inherently human—the better self that shines a light for others. A light that can illuminate even the darkest moments.”
……..
Jeffrey Yip, in a podcast with the Institute of Coaching:
“The Power of Listening: Building Stronger Leadership with Jeffery Yip” (2-13-26).
6:00
“I often tell leaders that you don’t determine whether you are a good listener. The other person determines whether you are a good listener.”
……..
Paul McCarthy:
“Why the Leaders Who Challenge Systems Often Get Pushed Out” (3-16-26).
“If organizations truly want courageous leadership, an important question follows:
Are our leadership systems actually designed to support the leaders who challenge them?
Or are they quietly pushing those leaders out?”
……..
Martha Lawrence, Blanchard:
“Engagement Grows Where Attention Flows” (3-17-26).
“What if, along with noticing problems, you also took time to focus on what is working well? When you filter reality to catch people doing things right, you start seeing effort, progress, and potential. By placing your attention on what is good, growing, and worthy, you don’t just motivate others. You also energize yourself.”

Edward Hoffman:
“Is Worry About Success Undermining Your Talents and Skills?”
(1-7-26).
“Finally, [Maslow] stressed the necessity for what [his] own mentor Alfred Adler liked to call simply courage — a willingness to take risks for personal growth and throw off one’s inner shackles.”
