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.
……..
Gary Burnison:
“Listen, Learn, Then Lead” (4-21-24).
“When people know we’re listening, they’re seen. And when they’re seen, they feel part of something bigger than themselves.
That’s why one of the biggest gifts we can give others is our attention.”
……..
Dan Rockwell:
“Imagination – Not Logic – Drives Leadership” (4-11-24).
“Aspiration begins in your imagination. You dream of something you don’t have but want.
Leaders imagine the future and then work to create it.”
……..
John Spence:
“Excellence Not Perfection” (4-22-24).
“Perfection is unreasonable. Excellence is attainable.
“[W]hy settle for anything less than excellence?”
……..
David Burkus:
“Why isn’t my team talking to me? (Hint: Psychological Safety)”
(1-15-24, updated 2-29-24).
“When individuals feel respected, and respectful behavior becomes the norm on a team, trust will naturally increase as well. That ensures that great ideas, and great lessons, get heard and considered.”
……..
Ben Bryant:
“Self-reflection for leaders in five steps” (4-24-24).
“Once you are fully able to reflect on your emotions and your experiences in all their complexity, you face more mindful choices. You gain the ability to be more intentional than impulsive or habitual in your responses and behavior.”
