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.
……..
Dana Maor et al. of McKinsey & Company present an article adapted from their new book, The Journey of Leadership: How CEOs Learn to Lead from the Inside Out (Sept. 2024):
“The ‘inside out’ leadership journey: How personal growth creates the path to success” (6-17-24).
“Our experience and research demonstrate that leading from the ‘inside out’ is the key ingredient to making a lasting impact with teams and the broader organization. This inside-out journey is nuanced and complex. It calls for personal growth, which means you must constantly be learning, listening, inspiring, and caring.”
……..
Gary Burnison, CEO, Korn Ferry:
“Who Do We Support?” (7-16-24).
“No matter the playing field, leading is not just about the what and the how—it’s always about the who. We are all in the people business.”
……..
Joel Garfinkle:
“One trait of the super successful (and how to get it)” (6-17-24).
“One of the key things people are looking for in their leaders is confident, concise communication. Confident people are sure of their message and pass that surety on to those around them, providing the team with a clear direction and belief in the way forward.”
……..
Travis Bradberry:
“7 Ways Leaders Motivate and Demotivate Employees” (6-20-24).
“Good, hard-working employees want to work with like-minded professionals. When managers don’t do the hard work of hiring good people, it’s a major demotivator for those stuck working alongside them. Promoting the wrong people is even worse.”
……..
Andrew Abeyta:
“Hope Is an Engine for Personal and Community Progress” (6-20-24).
“Hopeful bosses/managers are those who are respectful of their employees and include them in organizational goal-setting. They are also good delegators and communicators, providing employees with clear feedback and regularly updating them on organizational goal progress.”
