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:
“Something to Believe In” (5-4-26).
“Believing in someone, especially when they are in doubt, is an expression of confidence—and believing for others is a purposeful action. It turns fear into confidence, ambivalence into motivation.
Here’s the thing, though. We have to believe in ourselves first—before we can aspire to inspire others.”

Art Petty:
“Maybe the Problem Isn’t Too Many Managers” (5-18-26).
“Instead of throwing away managers who are crucial cogs in so much of what we need to do …, let’s relabel and redefine the role.
….
Managers must now be teachers, coaches, accountability partners, and trailblazers who clear the way for the rest of us to do what we need to. They are bureaucracy busters, key cogs in strategy, and essential to creating an environment where good people can do their best work.”

Kristina Shea et al:
“The cost of toxic leadership in the workplace – and how to avoid it” (4-27-26).
“In every interaction, leaders contribute to an environment in which people can thrive or one in which they feel diminished. These moments shape whether workplaces become spaces where people realise their potential or just places they must endure.”
……..
Abderrahman Hassi and Giovanna Storti:
“Wise leadership pays off. Here’s how to apply it in the workplace” (5-19-26).
“[W]isdom constitutes a cornerstone of effective leadership and serves as a key driver of organizational excellence.
….
The proposed wise leadership model broadens the scope of existing approaches … by incorporating the core components of judgement, action, morality, and humility.”
……..
Sharon Reus:
“Leadership Transitions Demand Honesty, Not Just Press Releases” (5-19-26).
“Treat leadership transitions as a trust reset, not a branding exercise.”
