Each week, I collect the resources related to leadership I shared on social media the prior week, with the accompanying quotations.
……..
Adam Bryant interviews Mitchell Reiss:
“To Negotiate Successfully, The Essential Ingredient Is Empathy” (1-15-24).
Reiss’s advice to senior leaders:
“As I get older, I think that kindness is one of the greatest virtues anybody can have, and there’s probably not enough of it in the workplace. It doesn’t mean you can’t be demanding. It doesn’t mean that you can’t have high expectations. It’s just the way you deal with things. You’ll get a lot more out of people if you act with compassion and not anger.”

Kevin McDonnell:
“Why Great Leaders Ask More Than They Tell” (12-22-23).
“The journey from good to great leadership is not about accumulating more power but empowering others. It’s a path less travelled, marked by questions that provoke thought, inspire action, and foster a culture of collective growth and innovation.”

Randy Conley:
“4 Strategies to Remove Fear from Your Leadership” (1-17-24).
“[W]hat’s the antidote to fear? It’s safety grounded in trust.”

Dan Bigman interviews Pat Lencioni:
“Pat Lencioni on Tackling 2024: ‘Who Am I Going to Help?‘”
(1-18-24).
“Start by just saying, ‘Who am I going to help this year? Who is in my life that I’m meant to serve and help?'”
……..
Julie Winkle Giulioni:
“Embracing the power of sub-optimization” (1-11-24).
“[T]oday’s leaders may be well-served instead of optimizing by embracing strategic sub-optimization. And this involves the discipline of making space for serendipity and the unexpected.”
