Each week, I collect the resources related to leadership I shared on social media the prior week, with the accompanying quotations.
……..
Gregg Vanourek:
“Why You Should Build Your Passions into Your Life and Work”
(4-1-24).
“What are the things that consume you with palpable emotion over time? What are the things you love so much that you’re willing to suffer for them? Those are your passions.”
……..
Karin Hurt and David Dye:
“Employee Retention Strategies When Work Gets Chaotic and Mess” (4-1-04).
“One of the most powerful employee recruitment strategies when you face chaotic and messy change is to get people working on what’s next.”
……..
Lucia Rahilly of McKinsey and Company interviews the author of Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection:
“Author Talks: Charles Duhigg on how the best communicators ‘click’” (3-29-24).
“Most conversations fall into one of three buckets: emotional, practical, and social.
….
Researchers have found that consistent supercommunicators tend to pay more attention to the type of conversation that’s occurring.”

Jennifer N Sutherland:
“Thriving in a VUCA world: Balancing tech transformation with soft skills” (4-1-24).
“[S]oft skills (more recently referred to as ‘power skills’ or ‘people skills’) need to balance any technology transformation. …. Learning and development leaders must recognize that increased power skills can make the technology transformation work for the organization, instead of against their workforce.”

Dan Rockwell:
“Culture Building Demands Little Energy” (4-4-24).
“Ask the leadership team to determine five behaviors that express one aspect of the culture you aspire to build. Commit to live those behaviors every day for a month. After you live your culture for a month roll it out to middle managers. In the third month roll it out to front-line supervisors. After three months, choose another aspect of your culture and repeat the process.”
