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.
……..
John Spence:
“Trust, Love, and Leadership That Lasts” (5-7-25).
“Leadership isn’t about you. Leadership is about what you do for others, specifically, whether you create the conditions for them to thrive. Do people grow around you? Do they do their best work? Are they engaged and excited about striving for excellence?”
……..
McKinsey & Company Senior Partner Kim Baroudy interviews Jacob Aarup-Andersen, CEO of Carlsberg:
“How Carlsberg thrives with resilience” (5-2-25). [Missing from site as of 5-26-25]
“How do you foster an open, trusting culture where people feel confident raising their hand early when something seems off? Early detection and response are key to managing crises.”
……..
Ken Blanchard:
“Empathy and Accountability—an Unlikely but Vital Combination” (5-21-25).
“As a leader, I learned long ago that most people are capable of much more than their manager gives them credit for. If you are a leader who thinks this way, you probably treat your team members well—the way you would want to be treated if you were in their shoes.”
……..
Travis Bradberry:
“10 Signs You’re Burning Out (And How to Stop It)” (5-19-25).
“Much of the stress we experience on a daily basis doesn’t stem from having too much work; it stems from being too disorganized to handle the work effectively. When you take the time to get organized, the load feels much more manageable.”
……..
Kevin Dickinson interviews Amy Edmondson:
“How to find success with the 4 conditions of ‘intelligent failure‘”
(5-21-25).
“‘It is natural to want to avoid failure. But when we avoid failure, we also avoid discovery and accomplishment. The only way to succeed in any endeavor worth trying is to be willing to experiment, to try new things.'”
