Daily Favorites (January 19, 2025)

This is my new page that links to some of my daily favorite readings on leadership.:  If they stretch the imagination and add to our understanding of the psychology of people, then I’m interested.  Normally, I post two (2) articles that I think are worthwhile to read.   There are articles here you will not want to read, read them any way:
