Each week, I compile the resources related to leadership, personal growth, and professional development that I shared on social media the prior week, with the accompanying quotations.
……..
Gary Burnison, CEO of Korn Ferry:
“It’s Always People Who Power Performance” (10-12-26).
“Let’s remember that in a world that is increasingly blurring the lines between the artificial and the genuine, we still intuitively and instinctually know the human side of organizations. We all recognize what enables people to perform, what causes us to change, what makes a trusted leader, and what it takes for great leadership to elevate potential.
Indeed, it’s people who determine what an organization becomes—and ultimately, how it performs.”

Marcel Schwantes:
“8 Active Listening Skills That Separate Great Leaders From Everyone Else” (10-12-26).
“Stop talking and give people your full attention.
…. When an employee approaches you with a concern, resist the temptation to multitask. Then listen without mentally rehearsing what you’re going to say next. Your body language and attention communicate something important: What you have to say matters to me. That message can be more meaningful than any carefully worded response.”

Lindsey Dinneen:
“The Most Underrated Leadership Skill in Medtech That Changes Everything” (10-7-26).
“Great leaders notice people. They recognize the person who stayed late to finish a project, the colleague who made a valuable introduction, or the team member who stepped up when things went sideways. And most importantly, they actually say thank you.”

Travis Bradberry:
“6 Things Great Leaders Do Differently” (10-9-26).
“People need courage in their leaders. They need someone who can make difficult decisions and watch over the good of the group. They need a leader who will stay the course when things get tough. People are far more likely to show strength themselves when their leader does the same.”
