Leadership Week in Review: Oct. 4-10, 2026

by David E. Shellenberger on October 12, 2026

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.
……..

Jamika Bivens:

“Why legacy is the leadership metric CEOs can’t afford to ignore” (9-17-26).

“Strategic leadership is ultimately about stewardship. A leader’s responsibility is not merely to extract value from an organization during their tenure but to strengthen the organization’s future capacity. This includes developing people, protecting culture, strengthening trust and creating strategic alignment that can withstand inevitable change.”
……..

Randy Conley:

“4 Strategies for Leading in Uncertain Times” (9-28-26).

“One of the best ways to provide clarity is to anchor goals in values.

…. Goals will frequently change, but values remain constant.”
……..

Ronald E. Riggio:

“How and Why Abusive Bosses Thrive in Organizations” (8-26-26).

“Many organizations develop a culture that actually encourages leaders to behave badly. Cultures that allow punitive management, ignore bullying, and discourage employees from speaking up, can create a toxic environment where abusive bosses thrive.”
……..

Daniel Goleman:

“Is AI Going To Be Our New Leader?” (10-9-26).

“There are three kinds of empathy: cognitive, which includes being able to see the world through another’s eyes, emotional, knowing how that person feels, and caring – having real concern about that person’s wellbeing.”
……..

In any organization, talent alone is not enough. The organization needs a culture of discipline, i.e., consistent execution.
