References
The sources behind the claims in the leadership pages, with a link to the primary source (the paper, or somewhere to buy the book) and a sentence on what each one contributes. Where later research weakened a finding (grit, task conflict), the entry says so.

A citation means the source supports the specific claim it's attached to, not that I endorse the whole book. Things I link to that don't back a specific claim are on the links page.
How this section is organized
Daniele Procida, Diátaxis. diataxis.fr
Documentation serves four different needs (learning, doing, understanding, and looking things up), and mixing them on one page serves none of them well. This section follows it loosely: Playbooks for doing, Explanation for understanding, References for looking things up. How I lead sits outside the model, as the values and practices the rest hangs off.
