Each week I collect the resources related to leadership I shared on social media the prior week, with the accompanying quotations.

Kellogg Insight:
“3 Traits of Successful Market-Creating Entrepreneurs:
Creating a market isn’t for the faint of heart. But a dose of humility can go a long way.” (5-5-23).
Efosa Ojomo is an adjunct lecturer in entrepreneurship at Kellogg School of Management and director of the Global Prosperity research group at the Clayton Christensen Institute for Disruptive Innovation.
….
“‘I think as leaders, we can be more conscious of the things we feel passionate about, and more purposeful about connecting with them,’ Ojomo says.
Ojomo recommends that entrepreneurs look beyond themselves to identify the motivating force—the particular love of people or place—driving their desire to work in a particular market.”
……..
Kelly Goldsmith and Marshall Goldsmith:
“Marshall Goldsmith: The ‘Feed-Forward’ Exercise” (5-4-23).
“Participants are each asked to play two roles. In one, they are asked to provide FeedForward—to give someone else suggestions for the future and help as much as they can. In the second, they are asked to accept FeedForward—or listen to suggestions for the future and learn as much as they can. The exercise typically lasts 10 to 15 minutes, and the average participant has six to seven dialogue sessions.”

Brian J. Brim, Gallup:
“Strengths-Based Leadership: Building Hope in Followers” (9-1-16, updated 9-30-21).
“Building a sense of hope for employees is absolutely essential to the sustainable success of an organization.
….
Dr. Shane Lopez, one of Gallup’s most inspiring senior scientists, spent his life studying hope. Sadly, Lopez recently passed away. But he leaves us with a brilliant description of this powerful emotion.
Hope is: ‘the belief that the future will be better than the present, along with the belief that you have the power to make it so.'”

Ken Blanchard:
“Timeless Principle #2: A Good Leader Catches People Doing Things Right” (5-10-23).
“When somebody does something right or approximately right, praise them. If they stumble on the way to a goal, ask how you can help them get back on the right track. To me, it just feels like common sense. And the best leaders make common sense common practice.”
……..
John Spence:
“Being Kind as a Leader” (3-3-23).
“Kind leaders have a direct impact on their employees’ morale and motivation. They create a positive culture where people feel valued, supported and respected.”
……..
Blake Morgan:
“The Power Of Customer-Focused Leadership” (5-11-23).
“Companies winning in customer experience are led by people obsessed with the customer experience and putting customers first in everything they do. These leaders set the tone with their words and actions to make customers central to every business decision.”
……..
David Burkus:
“5 Habits Of High-Performing Teams” (5-8-23).
“By recognizing the value and contributions of every team member, high-performing teams create a culture of appreciation and mutual respect. This promotes a sense of belonging, motivates team members, and fosters a positive work environment. Moreover, it acknowledges that success is not only an individual accomplishment but a collective effort.”
