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.
……..
Travis Bradberry:
“10 Reasons Nice Bosses Finish First” (10-22-26).
“Kind leaders communicate on a very personal, emotional level. They never forget that there’s a flesh-and-blood human being standing in front of them.”
……..
David Grossman:
“Are You Managing Your Team, or Enabling Them to Be Successful and Drive Results?” (10-21-26).
“Employees are telling us something profound: They want to be seen, heard, and empowered. This is about creating an environment where human potential can flourish. Perks can add to the experience, but it’s the support, connection, and purpose that help employees thrive.”
……..
Daniel Goleman:
“Emotional Intelligence is a Spiritual Practice” (10-28-26).
“The third part of emotional intelligence, social awareness, comes down to empathy – sensing what the other person feels. Here I think the most important kind of empathy is having concern for others. That opens the door to compassion, a universal attitude in spiritual traditions.”

Clay Routledge:
“Will AI Help or Hurt Our Pursuit of Meaning?” (10-16-26).
“Regardless of how AI develops, it is crucial to remember that meaning is not something technology can simply give us or take away from us. It comes from the effort we put into the relationships, projects, and pursuits we care about. And the choice to keep making that effort remains ours.”
……..
Center for Creative Leadership:
“What Sustains Leadership Energy?” (10-30-26).
“Wisdom transfer is how you move from paper successors to prepared leaders. It’s how you build an organization that knows how to keep the lights on and where to shine them next. And it starts with something as simple as an open door. The organizations that commit to this will find the leaders they’re looking for. And those leaders will be ready.”
