Leaders who fail to listen ultimately find themselves surrounded by silence.
You don't get chosen to take charge unless you give good answers. You won't be able to make change unless you ask good questions.
Learning depends on making it safe for people to tell you the truth.

Great minds don’t think alike. They challenge each other to think differently.
The people who teach you the most are the ones who share your principles but not your thought processes.
Converging values draw you to similar questions. Diverging views introduce you to new answers.

Changing your mind doesn't mean you've abandoned your principles. It may mean you've learned something.
It's better to contradict yourself and be accused of hypocrisy than to stick to your guns and sacrifice your integrity.
The hallmark of integrity is honesty, not consistency.

Support for suicide prevention … remembering those who have lost their lives and in support of those who have survived … and in support of tackling stigma and discrimination in health care 💚

If two people always agree, it’s a sign that at least one of them isn’t thinking critically—or speaking candidly.
Differences of opinion don't have to be threats. They can be opportunities to learn.
Intellectual friction isn't a relationship bug. It's a feature of education.

When people mistake confidence for competence, they end up valuing style over substance.
The most charismatic person in the group is the most likely to get away with a flawed argument.
The most polished speaker in the room is the most likely to get away with being unprepared.

More funding for mental health? Be careful. Our medicalised system has had over 40 years to prove itself. By most measures it's failed: mental health worsening, prescriptions vaulting, outcomes flatlining, morale tumbling. If we are going to fund, let's not fund more the same.

Discovering you were wrong doesn't have to threaten your intelligence or bruise your ego. It can be a sign that you've learned something.
Few of us enjoy 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 wrong. Finding joy in 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 wrong is a step toward keeping an open mind.

"While it takes us in the right direction on patient rights we need a more radical approach which actually transforms people’s experience of #mentalhealth services." Read Hafal CEO Alun Thomas's initial thoughts on the #MentalHealthAct white paper: hafal.org/2021/01/mental-hea…
