Each week I collect the resources related to leadership I shared on social media the prior week, with the accompanying quotations.
……..
Bill Treasurer, interviewed by Rodger Dean Duncan in “Looking For Leadership Tips? Here’s A Do-It-Yourself Recipe With Simple Ingredients” (10-20-22).
“I carry in my wallet six words that a mentor reminded me that every human being wants …. When these words are being lived, people flourish and bridges form across divides. Everyone wants to be welcomed, valued, respected, heard, understood, and supported.”
……..
Merete Wedell-Wedellsborg: “How to Be a Good Leader in a Bad Economy” (11-29-22).
“To succeed as a leader in this moment, I suggest three key balances people need to get right: moving closer without suffocating others; moving faster without turning frantic; and taking on or assigning a bigger workload without sacrificing relationships.”
……..
“Stop Reading the News:
Korn Ferry CEO Gary Burnison urges leaders to stop looking at what’s wrong in what’s right.” (12-4-22).
“One thing we can’t lose sight of is the fact that great companies and bold leaders make their finest moves in transitory times like these. While some are paralyzed into a wait-and-see attitude, the best take action. As an advisor and friend told us recently, it’s not a response to what’s wrong—it’s a response to what it is time for.”
……..
John Spence: “How Does a Leader Create Momentum?” (12-5-22).
“By all means, you should have stretch goals, but you should have a handful of goals that are within reach. Use these as milestones on the journey toward achieving your big goals. When you achieve one, celebrate. Praise your team.”
……..
Frank Sonnenberg, in a republished interview by Rodger Dean Dalton in Forbes (8-9-22):
“Life Lessons: Become The Best Version Of Yourself“
“Make a conscious effort to live a life that makes you happy, one in which you make a difference, and one that makes you proud. You have an opportunity to define your life as you see fit, or to go with the flow and let it be defined for you.”
……..
David Burkus: “What To Cover in a Team’s Weekly Meeting” (12-5-22).
“The final item to cover in a team’s weekly meeting is Purpose. …. [I]t’s a vital section not just for the jolt of motivation but also to make sure that every weekly team meeting ends on a high note and makes teammates look forward to the next one.”
……..
Publishers Weekly Review of “One Step Ahead: Mastering the Art and Science of Negotiation” (1-14-20).
“[David] Sally has taught negotiation to MBA students for 25 years, and found the two gold standards on the subject in business literature, ‘Getting to Yes’ and ‘How to Win Friends and Influence People,’ useful, but lacking when it comes to the crucial piece: learning to understand and respond to the opposing party.”
