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 of Korn Ferry:
“Falling Back, Moving Forward” (10-27-24).
“A new executive we worked with wanted to transform the company he joined, which had become stuck in the past, overly reliant on what had worked before. And so, he tried something different, starting every meeting with a seemingly simple, but profoundly impactful question … : ‘What are we doing to keep moving forward?'”

Travis Bradberry:
“2 Snap Judgments People Make When They First Meet You”
(10-28-24).
“We often assume that competence is the most important factor, and people have a tendency to play this up when they meet someone; however, [Amy] Cuddy’s research shows that trust is the most important factor. In order for your competence to matter, people must trust you first.”
……..
Consider Immanuel Kant’s Humanity Formulation of the Categorical Imperative, discussed in “Kant’s Moral Philosophy“:
“This formulation states that we should never act in such a way that we treat humanity, whether in ourselves or in others, as a means only but always as an end in itself.”
Marcel Schwantes:
“1 Clear Sign You Have What It Takes to Be an Exceptional Leader” (10-28-24).
“[W]hat is the rarest quality an exceptional leader possesses today? It’s treating another person as a valued human being.”
……..
Stephen Joseph:
“Master the Art of Authentic Listening” (8-25-24).
“Authentic listening requires the ability to tune in to the other person’s worldview and see things from their point of view. Once we have put our own stuff away and are no longer focused on ourselves, we can truly pay attention to what the other person is telling us.”
……..
Amélie Cloutier and Andrew Webb:
“What the Thai cave rescue can teach us about unconventional leadership” (10-30-24).
“With the situation worsening, the cave divers successfully persuaded the conventional leaders in place … to allow them to take over the mission.”
