Each week, I collect the resources related to leadership, personal growth, and professional development I shared on social media the prior week, with the accompanying quotations.

Wharton Executive Education interviews Zeke Hernandez on his book The Truth About Immigration: Why Successful Societies Welcome Newcomers (2024):
“Shattering Myths: Five Truths About Immigration” (July 2024).
“I would hope that business leaders understand that immigration is much more than something they vote on every four years. Immigration is central to the ability of a business to thrive.”

Emma Seppälä, with an excerpt from her new book, Sovereign: Reclaim your Freedom, Energy and Power in a Time of Distraction, Uncertainty and Chaos:
“The Power of Positively Energizing Leadership” (7-8-24).
Among “the keys of positive relational energy”:
“Treating others with basic human values like respect, gratitude, trust, honesty, humility, kindness, and integrity. Think about it. When you know someone has those kinds of values, you automatically feel trust and safety around them.”
……..
Marcel Schwantes:
“How to Remove the No.1 Destroyer of Great Teamwork” (7-8-24).
“The reason [psychological safety] is so important today is because we live in a world in which knowledge, insight and expertise are the currency and the source of value creation in most industries.
In other words, if I possess knowledge but refrain from using or expressing it for some reason, then its value is lost.”

Ken Blanchard:
“Never, Never, Never Stop Learning” (7-10-24).
“Great leaders make lifelong learning a conscious choice and a continuous journey. Make learning a habit, and you’ll enjoy the benefits of becoming a leader for life!”

John Spence:
“A Call to Action for Leaders” (7-8-24).
“Here is my stake in the ground: Leadership is Love in Action.
Fierce leaders are strong enough to be kind. They do not pursue power. Title means nothing to them. They lead by example, not by ego. They are bold enough to love.”
