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.
……..
Ted Kitterman, Great Place to Work:
“How Return-to-Office Mandates Pose Risks to Productivity, Well-Being, and Retention”
(5-3-24).
“Remote, hybrid, and onsite workers all have a worse experience when their employer mandates where they work. When employees are empowered to choose a policy that works best for their needs — either as an individual or as a team — their experience gets better.”
……..
Alana Semuels interviews Raj Subramaniam:
“How FedEx CEO Raj Subramaniam Is Adapting to a Post-Pandemic Economy” (9-15-24).
“‘[Founder and Executive Chairman Fred Smith has] also instilled this idea of a servant leadership … —we have almost an inverted organizational pyramid. The job of the leader is to remove barriers for people to do their job.'”
……..
Frank Sonnenberg:
“Are You a Giver or a Taker?” (9-24-24).
“True giving comes from the heart, not from expecting something in return.”
…..
Gregg Vanourek:
“Getting to the Root Causes of Things: Why and How” (9-24-24).
“Use the ‘five whys’ questioning technique to get beyond surface-level symptoms and drill down to root causes. When you encounter a problem, ask ‘Why?’ five times. That inquiry can help take you down to the underlying issue.”
……..
Kevin Dickinson:
“How to create a learning culture in the workplace” (1-12-22).
“Being transformation-ready doesn’t mean adopting the latest technology or rewriting your mission statement to keep up with current trends. Instead, it’s about developing a learning culture that positions the entire organization to adapt to the inevitable unknowns the future will bring.”
