Each week, I collect the resources related to leadership I shared on social media the prior week, with the accompanying quotations.
……..
Karin Hurt and David Dye:
“How to Encourage More Courage on Your Team (Team-Building Activity)” (1-8-24).
“If you want your team to feel more courageous, remind them of times they’ve been courageous before.”

Bill Taylor:
“If Humility Is So Important, Why Are Leaders So Arrogant?”
(10-15-18).
“The most effective business leaders don’t pretend to have all the answers; the world is just too complicated for that. They understand that their job is to get the best ideas from the right people, whomever and wherever those people may be.”
……..
John Spence:
“The Leader’s Toolkit: Four Essential Leadership Skills for Business Success” (1-9-23).
“Motivation: Emotionally intelligent leaders are driven by internal factors beyond money or status. They are passionate about their work, pursue goals with energy and persistence, and inspire others through their commitment.”

Joe Folkman:
“Getting a Head Start on Leadership” (2-1-24).
“Investing in leadership development is not just a strategic choice but a fundamental necessity for organizations aspiring to cultivate a productive, engaged, and committed workforce. By focusing on nurturing leadership skills from the early stages of an individual’s career, organizations can significantly enhance their chances of long-term success and sustainability.”

Rick Hanson:
“Why Is Understanding Others Important?” (6-26-23).
“Empathy is soothing, calming, and bridge-building; when it’s present, it’s much easier to work through things. Empathy gives you lots of helpful information, like what’s most important to others or what’s really bothering them.”
