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:
“How the Show Goes On” (5-19-24).
“Believing in someone is an expression of confidence but believing for them is purposeful intention. Here we find the full-circle moment when what we believe transforms into what others achieve. ….
It’s nothing less than the essence of leadership: inspiring others to believe—and enabling that belief to become reality.”
……..
Nele Van Buggenhout and Jamie Ellis, PwC UK:
“The big power of small goals” (5-14-24):
“Goals clarify objectives and have a positive psychological effect, giving people a series of small wins on their way to achieving bigger aspirations. Indeed, our research shows that when employees set small goals regularly (daily or even hourly), not only are they more likely than other employees to hit company performance targets, but they report higher morale as well.”
……..
Jim Collins’s Foreword to the 50th Anniversary Edition of The Effective Executive:
“Ten Lessons I Learned from Peter Drucker” (5-17-16).
“‘[Y]ou seem to spend a lot of energy on the question of how to be successful. But that is the wrong question.’ …. ‘The question is: how to be useful!’ A great teacher can change your life in thirty seconds.”
Julie Winkle Giulioni:
“10 ways to offer the time autonomy employees crave” (5-9-24).
“The hands of the clock are ticking towards a more autonomous future. Leaders who align with the ‘times’ will use the tools and strategies within their control to help employees make their precious hours count — and, in the process, will build a magnetic and unbeatable culture where talent thrives.”
……..
John Spence:
“The Clear Path to Success: How to Eliminate Mediocrity and Drive Progress” (2-12-24).
“As a leader, practice what you preach. Be a model of clarity in your actions and communications. When you make a decision, explain your reasoning and how it aligns with the company’s goals. People judge you by your actions, not your intentions.”
