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.
……..
David Burkus:
“How Employee Engagement Really Works” (5-16-24).
“[Sharing survey results is] the easiest way to communicate that you’re serious about employee feedback and improving the employee experience.”
……..
Jim Harter, Gallup:
“World’s Largest Ongoing Study of the Employee Experience:
Insights from Gallup’s employee engagement meta-analysis of 183,806 business units and teams worldwide and why it’s vital for leaders.” (9-4-24).
“Gallup’s decades-long study of workplace culture and business performance provides science-based evidence that leaders can build great companies with great cultures that achieve their financial and societal objectives — if they create systems that continually improve the quality of managing. Great managers, who are closest to their employees, are the key to inspiring extraordinary performance.”
……..
Gary Burnison, CEO, Korn Ferry:
“Recognition Needs No Holiday” (9-8-24).
“It’s a fundamental truth of our human nature: We all want to be loved; we all want to belong.
This is the power of affiliation—of relating and connecting to others. As our firm’s research shows, that’s a major motivator. It’s the emotional side of leadership.”
……..
John Spence:
“Mastering Emotional Intelligence” (9-3-24).
“Mastering self-regulation is crucial. It’s the difference between being a respected leader people want to follow and being an ineffective leader people fear or avoid.”
……..
Jennifer Moss:
“Why Freedom, Not Surveillance, Drives Engagement” (9-13-24).
“When you take away freedom—whether by limiting remote work or by tracking employees—you’re not just affecting the logistics of where work happens; you’re impacting well-being, creativity, and long-term loyalty.”
