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.
……..
Candace Smith:
“Knowing Your Values and Living Authentically” (8-11-24).
“By consistently aligning your actions with your core values, you create a ripple effect that extends far beyond your personal life. You become a role model for others, inspiring them to live more authentically. This, in turn, contributes to a society that values individuality, integrity, and genuine connection.”

McKinsey & Company senior partners discuss their new book, The Journey of Leadership: How CEOs Learn to Lead from the Inside Out (Sept. 2024):
“Author Talks: A transformational approach to leadership” (8-8-24).
Hans-Werner Kaas:
“What do we mean by human-centric leadership? The definition is simple. Leaders must show up as human beings and behave as such when they interact with their coworkers …. That will indeed lead to much, much deeper engagement.”
……..
Kimberly Davis:
“Redefining What It Means to Be Brave” (7-23-24).
“My favorite definition of authenticity is borrowed from Harvard Business School of Management’s Bill George: genuine, worthy of trust, reliance and belief in the eye of the beholder …. [W]hat it means is that you need a sincere respect for the fact that everyone you meet has a different set of needs and if you want to connect to them, you have to find a way to meet those needs or they won’t experience you as authentic. True authenticity forces empathy.”

Frank Sonnenberg:
“Do You Promote Excellence?” (12-19-17).
“Doing a great job is as much an attitude as it is an activity. …. Excellence is not a destination, but a way of life.”

Travis Bradberry:
“15 Signs You Are Emotionally Intelligent” (7-15-24).
“Much of emotional intelligence comes down to social awareness; the ability to read other people, know what they’re about, and understand what they’re going through. Over time, this skill makes you an exceptional judge of character.”
