Each week I collect the resources related to leadership I shared on social media the prior week, with the accompanying quotations.
……..
Oleg Konovalov, author of The Vision Code: How to Create and Execute a Compelling Vision for your Business (2021), interviewed:
“A tête-à-tête with the ‘Da Vinci’ of Visionary Leadership, Dr. Oleg Konovalov” (9-7-22).
“[V]ision cannot be created through consensus. It can only be created by strong leadership.”
……..
Candace Smith: “Notes of Appreciation Are Always Welcome” (12-25-22).
“When you feel grateful for something someone has done for you and express your thankfulness to them, it leads to happiness for both of you.”
……..
Great leaders create, preserve, and enhance their organizations’ reputations through effective leadership. Excellent organizations earn excellent reputations.
From Armen Alchian’s and William R. Allen’s Universal Economics (2018; Jerry L. Jordan, ed.).
“Quotation of the Day…” (12-27-22). Donald J. Boudreaux.
“Your reputation is the public’s belief about your expected future behavior. A firm’s good reputation can be a powerful enforcer of its own reliable behavior, lest it lose future earnings. A seller’s good reputation is valuable also to potential customers because it reduces shoppers’ costs of identifying reliable sellers.”
……..
Frank Sonnenberg: “You Bear Sole Responsibility for Your Circumstances” (12-27-22).
“Determine who you want to be; set the direction you wish to take; and focus your efforts on your goals.
….
Face challenges with courage and conviction rather than surrendering your dreams to fear.”
……..
Michael Lee Stallard and Katharine P. Stallard:
“Why We Long for Leaders Who Actually Care” (2-26-22).
“[B]oosting emotional compensation is based on meeting seven universal human needs to thrive at work: respect, recognition, belonging, autonomy, personal growth, meaning, and progress. The resulting sense of connection from having these needs met engenders positive emotions and makes us feel connected to our work and our colleagues.”
……..
Kellogg Insight, Kellogg School of Management:
“Take 5: How to Be a Better Mentor:
Be sure your mentee ‘owns’ the relationship—and don’t shy away from tough conversations.” (4-14-22).
“While mentoring generally takes place between individual mentors and mentees, organizations wanting to maximize the career potential of their employees—and deepen their own future pool of leaders—should consider spreading the benefits of career development widely.”
……..
Mike Morrison, co-author of Creating Meaningful Change (2022): “Our most powerful but least leveraged leadership tool is . . .” (7-31-22).
“In leading your change efforts, look beyond the outcomes you want to achieve and determine a special framing that will help to not only shift thinking but deepen it in ways that are needed most.
Learn as much as you can along the way.
Make it as meaningful as possible.”
