……..
Alexis Krivkovich et al., McKinsey & Company:
“Insights driving impact: Five themes we’re hearing in 2025”
(3-6-25).
“Connecting communications to employee purpose. Our research shows that employees whose sense of purpose connects with that of their companies are five times more likely than their peers to feel fulfilled at work.”

Hillary Chabot, Babson Thought & Action:
“What Are Soft Skills and Why Are They Important in Business?” (3-17-25).
“While technical knowledge remains essential, the ability to collaborate, lead, and adapt will be what sets professionals apart.”
……..
Jon Clifton and Julie Ray, Gallup:
“Is a Kinder World a Happier One?” (3-19-25).
“These findings reaffirm what social scientists have long suggested: Benevolence benefits both the giver and the receiver. Engaging in acts of kindness provides a psychological boost and creates a ripple effect, encouraging others to do the same.”
……..
Candace Smith:
“Practicing Etiquetteful Habits Each Day” (3-6-25).
“When we embrace etiquette as a lifestyle, we contribute to a more civil society. These practices create ripples that extend far beyond individual interactions, fostering communities where people feel respected and valued. By making courtesy a habit rather than an exception, we enrich not only others’ experiences but our own lives as well.”
……..
David Witt with Randy Conley, Blanchard:
“The Leadership Cure for Burnout: How to Reignite Engagement and Retention” (2-4-25).
“‘Leaders who express empathy and build trust foster loyalty and commitment, which energizes their teams and reduces burnout. Empathy, compassion, and psychological safety create an environment where people feel seen and supported even when the workload is heavy.'”
