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.
……..
Dan Rockwell:
“The 5 Habits of Highly Effective Servant Leaders” (9-27-24).
“Your pursuit of high standards invites respect. The ability to inspire hinges on your example.”
……..
Matt Shipman, North Carolina State University, on a recent study:
“How Hope Beats Mindfulness When Times Are Tough” (8-30-24).
“‘Whenever we have high levels of job stress, it’s important to be hopeful and forward looking,’ says Emily Ferrise, study co-author and a Ph.D. student at Clemson. ‘And to the extent possible, there is real value for any organization to incorporate hope and forward thinking into their corporate culture.'”
……..
Muqsit Ashraf et al., Accenture:
“Profiting from the Relationship Between Resilience and Growth” (Sept./Oct. 2024).
“Those employees who believe their CEO leads with purpose are almost twice as likely to consider themselves ‘highly resilient’ in part because the CEO’s clear commitment and vision permeate the organization.”
……..
Wharton Executive Education:
“Learning from Japan: A New Leadership Model” (Oct. 2024).
“Understanding that flywheel momentum can take years to build, Japanese leaders focus on future gains rather than immediate results. Hitting long-term benchmarks and generating outsized returns later requires near-term discipline, meaning execution is vital even if there is little to show for it now.”
……..
Dan Goleman and Elizabeth Solomon:
“Needing More Than Just Purpose” (Week of Sept. 30, 2024).
“If achievement-oriented leaders want to funnel their energy for success into something positive and effective—if they want to be the purpose-driven leaders so many teams long for—a focus on emotional intelligence and clear communication is critical.”
