by David E. Shellenberger on September 25, 2023

Each week, I collect the resources related to leadership I shared on social media the prior week, with the accompanying quotations.
……..

Kellogg Insight:
Don’t Wait to Be Asked: Lead
A roadmap for increasing your influence at work.” (9-7-16).

“Lead from where you are. If you work for an organization, no matter your role, you already have all the clout you need to begin leading.”
……..

Candace Smith:
Visiting a Business Office Etiquette-fully” (9-17-23)”

“[T]he manner in which you treat others will remain foremost in their minds.”
……..

John Spence:
Cultivating a Culture of Excellence Through High-Integrity Leadership
(9-18-23).

“Empathy extends the leader’s role beyond task management to human understanding. It’s about recognizing the emotional and professional needs of team members. Empathy informs better decision-making and shows that the leader values the work and the people who perform it.”
……..

Julie Winkle Giulioni:
Banishing workplace boredom” (9-14-23).

“Find ways to elevate autonomy. Heightened authority or decision-making is an effective strategy for adjusting the dynamics of an employee’s job to raise the stakes and activate a heightened level of interest.
……..

Damon Lembi:
Listening: The Quiet Superpower” (9-21-23).

“Executives who don’t step up their listening skills as they advance undermine their leadership on two fronts: they miss crucial information, and even when they don’t, if their listening style doesn’t make their people feel heard, it alienates them. …. Great leaders are expert listeners.”
