Each week, I collect the resources related to leadership I shared on social media the prior week, with the accompanying quotations.
……..
Travis Bradberry:
“10 Ways Ridiculously Successful People Think Differently”
(3-11-24).
“Super-successful people often know more than others do, because they’re constantly trying to learn. They vow to constantly grow, and they fill every spare moment with self-education. They don’t do this because it’s ‘the right thing to do’; they do it because it’s their passion.”

Dan Goleman:
“How to Create a Great Place to Work” (Week of Feb. 19, 2024).
“If a company is determined to retain talent, they will want to know exactly what matters to the people they employ. At the same time, they will want to take a good look at all of the invisible things that make up the employee experience—including company culture and other non-material elements that are hard to articulate yet weigh most heavily in an employee’s commitment over the long term.”

Ken Blanchard:
“Who Are the Innovators of Today?” (3-13-24).
“Organizations that rely only on designers and senior leaders to come up with all the innovative ideas for positive change are underestimating the rest of their workforce. Everyone can contribute to a culture of innovation.”

“Kelly & Marshall Goldsmith: You Can Be More” (3-11-24).
“Communicating that ‘you can be more’ to a top performer is the ultimate form of positive recognition. You are recognizing how great they are doing now and communicating your belief that they have the capability of becoming even more.”

Caring for employees is also its own virtue.
Marcel Schwantes:
“10 Uncommon Behaviors That Define Good Leaders” (2-29-24).
“Caring for employees means serving them well because it leads to competitive advantage. This all starts with developing the mind-set to firmly put into action the statement ‘I will treat my employees with great care, so they will treat our customers with great care.'”
