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.

Tim Koller, McKinsey & Company:

10 Practices of Leaders Who Are Easy to Follow” (10-1-24).

“The spirits of too many people die at the office door each morning because they dread their work environment. No one should have to feel bullied, intimidated, or afraid to go to work.

Marcel Schwantes:

“The stay interview builds trust in leaders because you’re basically telling your valued team member, ‘Hey, I’d like to get a feel for what’s working and not working for you, and learn how best to utilize your natural talents.'”

Joe Folkman:
