Each week, I collect the resources related to leadership I shared on social media the prior week, with the accompanying quotations.
……..
Kelly Goldsmith and Marshall Goldsmith:
“Marshall Goldsmith On Acing Layoffs” (10-23-23).
“Go out of your way to communicate to your top performers that you value their work and want to keep them.”
……..
Raju Narisetti of McKinsey & Company interviews BBC journalist Ros Atkins about his new book, The Art of Explanation: How to Communicate with Clarity and Confidence:
“Author Talks: Am I making myself clear?” (10-16-23).
“What we want to avoid is putting pressure on ourselves to be something different in order to be successful or to communicate, because the most effective communicators are authentic ones.”
……..
David Burkus:
“The Foundation of High-Performing Teams” (10-16-23).
“Building common understanding through clarity and empathy is the foundation of high-performing teams. It fosters a sense of unity and shared purpose, helping team members leverage each other’s unique skills and talents to achieve common goals.”
……..
Frank Sonnenberg:
“The Power of One” (2-26-17).
“Have faith that one person can make a difference, and that one person is you.”
……..
Andrew Abeyta, a fellow with the Flourishing in Action project at the Archbridge Institute’s Human Flourishing Lab:
“The Science of Hope” (10-17-23).
“Leaders … can spread hope by inspiring confidence among their followers that a desired outcome will be achieved. Research in the workplace, for example, indicates that employees are more hopeful when they work for a hopeful boss. Other research suggests that exposure to hopeful messages from leaders promotes hope among followers, particularly if people feel their leaders are credible and trustworthy.”
