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.
……..
Danny Kenny on to-do lists:
“The mindset shift that ended my Sunday-night dread”
(5-4-26).
“Frame the same task as credit-building — as a vote for working towards something or someone you care about — and it pulls you forward. The work feels different because what it means to you is different.”
……..
Paul McCarthy:
“The Leadership Industry Isn’t Stuck. It’s Avoiding Discomfort.”
(5-5-26).
“We need different conditions.
Conditions where:
Challenge is welcomed
Tension is explored
Discomfort isn’t avoided
Different thinking isn’t contained.”
……..
Garrett W. Potts:
“The Language of Leadership” (5-13-26).
“The goal isn’t warmer words for their own sake. The goal is alignment between what you say, what you believe, and how you actually lead.”
……..
Blanchard:
“May 2026 | One Minute Insights | Lead with Empathy, Clarity, and Humanity” (5-13-26).
“At its heart, human-centric leadership means keeping people at the center of how work gets planned, communicated, supported, and improved. It means paying attention to what people need to perform well: clarity, trust, flexibility, support, and a leader who sees them as a whole person.”
……..
Cheryl Walker:
“Stop pursuing happiness. Build something stronger.” (5-6-26).
“Christian Waugh, professor of psychology at Wake Forest University, says the pursuit of resilience—rather than happiness—provides a more sustainable framework for navigating life’s stressors.”
