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.
……..
Gary Burnison, CEO, Korn Ferry:
“All in the Same Boat” (7-30-24).
“[Mark Richardson] still remembers distinctly the day when, at age 13, he confided to his coach his dream of running in the Olympics. His coach’s response made all the difference …. ‘He didn’t say, “Let’s calibrate those expectations.” Instead, he told me, “Let’s make that happen together.'””
……..
Sanyin Siang, Duke University:
“Identify — and Develop — Your Natural Strengths” (6-19-24). Sanyin Siang
“[W]hen you fail to recognize your innate strengths, you also fail to see what makes you inimitable. When that happens, you miss out on opportunities to leverage your greatest skills in ways that can benefit your work, team, and society. You need to understand what sets you apart in order to use those skills to truly shine in your role.”

Marcel Schwantes:
“1 Rare Leadership Trait Guaranteed to Win Over Your People and Get Results” (7-2-24).
“Humble leaders are unassuming and know what they think; they want to know what YOU think by listening intently.”
……..
Joanna Barsh and Johanne Lavoie — a McKinsey Classic:
“Lead at your best” (4-1-14).
“[W]hen we develop solution-focused instincts, we empower and engage others, deliberately infusing hope.”
……..
Jim Clemmer:
“Avoid Being Swamped by the Quitting Tsunami” (5-22-24).
“A powerful culture nurtures strong leaders. Strong leaders build powerful cultures. This chicken-and-egg paradox positively charges a virtuous energy circle. The upward spiral generates a positive magnetic field to attract and retain the best people — who then add to the positive energy.”
