Each week, I collect the resources related to leadership, personal growth, and professional development I shared on social media the prior week, with the accompanying quotations.

Michael D. Watkins, IMD:
“The 7 shifts you need to make to lead in a turbulent world”
(4-11-23).
“When the external environment shifts, it is all too common to want to rush to respond, overlooking values and internal clarity. Yet it is precisely in times of disruption that those values must become fully operational: they should guide your decisions, inform trade-offs, and ground the way you show up with others.”

Travis Bradberry:
“The 8 Secrets of Great Communicators” (4-7-25).
“To connect with your people emotionally, you need to be transparent. Be human. Show them what drives you, what you care about, what makes you get out of bed in the morning. Express these feelings openly, and you’ll forge an emotional connection with your people.”

John Spence:
“What the Great Recession Taught Me About Leadership” (4-16-25).
“In moments like these, leadership isn’t about being the smartest person in the room. It’s about being the strongest, steadiest, most honest version of yourself. That’s what your people need. And that’s what great leaders deliver.”

Korn Ferry:
“Decision Fatigue. 6 Ways to Deal with It”
(Week of April 14-20, 2025).
“Ruminating goes hand-in-hand with decision fatigue—and just drains you further. Tell yourself that you’ve made the best decision you could with the information available, and move on.”
