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.
……..
Bob Chapman, Chairman of Barry-Wehmiller:
“Here’s a Simple Phrase That Can Completely Change the Way You Lead” (10-7-25).
“[N]ot only does using the phrase ‘span of care’ change the way you think about the people you lead, it can change the way you think about the people you are in business to serve!”

Kevin Dickinson interviews Mary C. Murphy, author of Cultures of Growth (2024):
“‘Cultures of growth’: How small changes can build stronger, more successful teams” (4-24-24).
“A culture of growth has the growth mindset belief at its core. These teams and organizations believe that everybody has potential that can be grown given the right support, and they have structures in place to make it real, such as programs for their development.”

Victor Lipman:
“Why Micromanagement Is So Harmful” (9-23-24).
“First and foremost, it undermines autonomy, which is an important element of job satisfaction.”

Frank Sonnenberg:
“Do You Believe in Yourself?” (10-21-25).
“Do you spend more time seeking acceptance from others or from yourself? If it’s others, your focus may be misplaced. If you want to believe in yourself, you must prove you’re worthy of it. That means investing in yourself to improve every day; giving your best, not just enough to get by; doing what’s right, not what’s easy; and striving to be a good person.”

Hillary Chabot:
“Babson Study Reveals the Power of Customer Kindness” (9-3-25).
“‘Organizations often focus on preventing bad customer behavior, like banning alcohol on flights,’ [Lauren] Beitelspacher explained. ‘But there’s enormous potential in creating conditions where kindness is the norm, not the exception.'”
