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.
……..
Adrian Fonseca et al., McKinsey & Company:
“Renewal reimagined: How bold organizations survive constant disruption” (9-22-25).
“Ironically, when times get tough, many organizations double down on performance, neglecting health in the process. But our research finds that chasing performance without prioritizing health fails to achieve sustainable results. The cost is steep.”

John Spence:
“The Small Habit That Transforms Culture” (10-6-24).
“As leaders, we often underestimate how much a simple word of recognition can matter. What feels like a small gesture to us may carry enormous weight for someone else’s motivation or loyalty to the organization.”
……..
Christian Waugh on biophilia, in an article by Kelly Greene et al.:
“How We Are Nurtured by Nature” (Fall 2025).
“As a species, we’ve evolved over hundreds of thousands or millions of years, so our brain comes to expect certain things from our evolutionary path. … One of the things it expects is to be in nature, because that’s where we were for 99.9% of our evolution.”
……..
Frank Sonnenberg:
“The Recipe for a Life That Matters” (8-19-25).
“It only takes one person to change a life — and it may as well be you.”

Joe Folkman:
“The Science of Smart Decisions: 7 Leadership Qualities That Matter Most” (10-10-25).
“Humans naturally seek security in familiar routines, even when those routines are demonstrably inefficient. …. Leaders who break free from this pattern don’t just become more efficient—they fundamentally transform what’s possible for their teams.”
