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.
……..
Candace Smith:
“Allowing Etiquette and Grace to Build Connections” (5-24-25).

Travis Bradberry:
“10 Things That Make A Boss Great To Work For” (5-23-25).
“[I]t’s the gentleness of being graceful that gives ultra successful leaders their power. They’re approachable, likeable, and easy to get along with—all qualities that make people highly amenable to their ideas.”

Bill George:
“The Hidden Trap: Why External Validation Undermines Authentic Leadership” (5-29-25).
“Ultimately, the most fulfilled leaders are those who align their lives with purpose, not praise. They measure success not by the size of their platform, but by the depth of their impact. They know that legacy is not built by being liked, but by being true to who they are.”
……..
Center for Creative Leadership:
“The Power of Respect” (1-20-25).
“People feel respected when they’ve been heard and understood. Being genuinely interested in and open to others strengthens relationships and builds trust.”
