Ken Blanchard:
“Invest time in your people” (8-30-23).
“One-on-one conversations are a powerful way for you to demonstrate that you care about your direct reports. When you take time out of your schedule to meet with people individually, you are demonstrating that their work is important and that you value them as partners.”

Karin Hurt and David Dye:
“Navigating Change: How the Holidays Can Help You Be a Better Leader”
(12-18-23).
“Particularly in the northern hemisphere, the end-of-year holidays are about hope. Hope for peace, hope for a new year, hope for renewal, the promise that despite the current darkness, light will return.
As a leader, you are in the hope business. Hope is at the core of your work.
Leadership is the belief that if we work together, we can have a better tomorrow. Together we can do more, be more, and add more value to the world.”
