When we are the leader or manager, there's pressure to be "the person who knows". If we cannot give confident advice or direction to our teams, we might look weak. Yet leaders who openly acknowledge what they don’t know often create superior outcomes. Much better to "lead like a scientist": This means approaching everything with curiosity, experimentation, collaboration & being comfortable with not knowing.
Three ways to lead like a scientist:
1) Learn in public: openly admit when we don’t know something, share failures & lessons learned, ask questions instead of always providing answers & document our thinking.
2) Unlock social flow: encourage team members to design their own experiments, make space for sharing insights & remove as many artificial barriers as possible.
3) Redefine "success": think beyond performance standards & treat unexpected results as valuable data. When everyone understands that learning is part of success, they take smarter risks, surface problems earlier & develop more interesting solutions to complex challenges:

There's so much change happening at present. It's easy to feel powerless & overwhelmed. That's why I have gone back to sharing the classic Stephen Covey "circle of control" model with many of the teams I work with. There are lots of big changes happening that are in our "circle of concern" & we don't have the power to do much about them. But we can still make a significant difference in the world in our "circle of control" & "circle of influence". Lets put our energies into what we can control & influence.

New research by @McKinsey states that when it comes to workforce performance/productivity, the working model (office based, working from home or hybrid) is far less important than other factors. What matters most is the work environment that leaders create.
McKinsey sets out five core practices that drive performance & strengthen organisational health, whatever the working model:
1) collaboration
2) connectivity
3) innovation
4) mentorship
5) skill development.

"Corporate amnesia" or "institutional forgetting" – where organisations lose valuable knowledge, experience & insights over time (& reinvent approaches whilst not considering existing expertise &/or not making the time to learn from what happened previously). It is a significant contributor to productivity/performance shortfalls.
In my field of change & improvement, we have 40 years of NHS improvement experience, yet when we start new programmes, how often do we reflect on what we know already? If we don't consider why we failed previously, we're more likely to fail this time too. We are not talking about intentional "unlearning" but about organisational memory loss &/or failure to capture learning.
In our pursuit of the new, we risk discarding the very knowledge we need to retain. Organisational memory isn’t just about preserving the past; it’s about arming ourselves with the insights needed to make smarter decisions, avoid repeating mistakes & foster innovation:

When we take part in an unproductive meeting, the effect isn't just the immediate impact of a waste of our time. The effect can go on for hours or even days. It's called a "meeting hangover": a period of diminished focus, motivation or productivity following a bad meeting. Researchers found that more than a quarter of meetings produced meeting hangovers. Five insights from meeting science to prevent meeting hangovers:
1) More active, thoughtful facilitation
2) Cut the guest list ruthlessly
3) Turn agendas into action plans
4) Make every minute count & don’t run over
5) Demand accountability, every time
