We might be part of a system where everyone is contained within their department, specialty or directorate which makes collaboration hard. Yet we can choose not to be a silo in the way we work & connect with others. TY @woodard_julie for one of my favourite Twitter graphics ever.

A large-scale study found happiness & optimism at work are strong predictors of job performance. Happy people perform best. Happiness grows through factors such as a sense of meaning, flexibility, interesting work & supportive leaders: sloanreview.mit.edu/article/… Via @CaroleChabalier

We seek to build teams with diverse members hoping different experiences & ideas will mean better performance. Yet diverse teams often underperform as people from dissimilar backgrounds often clash. Diverse teams need psychological safety hbr.org/2022/03/research-to-… V @AmyCEdmondson

Happy Healthcare Science week! I will be spending my week relaxing, resting & rebuilding, with my first full week off for a long time. As a busy Healthcare Scientist, I know the importance to rest, restore & set new boundaries. And...breathe... 🙏🧡 #HCSWeek2022 #TakeABreak

We strive for psychological safety in our teams, but what comes after that? Psychological safety fulfils lower tiers in Maslow's hierarchy of needs but higher levels need "psychological enrichment", allowing true learning & experimentation: hrmonline.com.au/employee-we… V @tom_geraghty

When did we become so busy that we stopped focusing on the basics. I love this.

Listening is such a powerful skill.
12 Oct 2021
Listening is a very powerful tool for change. But we have to do it properly or it can backfire. This means: 1) Give 100% attention or don't bother 2) Don't interrupt 3) Don't judge 4) Don't impose solutions 5) Ask more questions 6) Reflect: hbr.org/2018/05/the-power-of… V @HarvardBiz
