@captgouda24 Imagine how much better the results would be if doctors were given management training!

In 2003, Chile began selecting executives for public programs through an open and competitive process. This would go on to be used to fill 3,400 roles.

Replacing hospital managers who are doctors with MBAs reduced mortality by 8%. That works out to two fewer deaths per every thousand patients. Managerial quality really does matter, and their pay is justified by the value created. 1/

@PeteRoussel Thank you Pete Roussel. It's great to see the research being applied to US football. Sport is so important to the economy and our psychology.

For years, athletic directors and sports executives have made costly mistakes too often when leading a head coaching search. I recently finished reading Credible – The Power of Expert Leaders by Amanda Goodall. Reading this book should be a requirement for all ADs and sports executives. These decision-makers can learn from Amanda Goodall’s insightful perspective, examples, and research about who should actually lead and how to identify that person. I’ve read more than 200 books on decision-making, business successes, leadership, and coaches. More than any book, this one will help decision-makers avoid mistakes made by many. hachettebookgroup.com/titles/amanda-…

Elon Musk's support for the far right and many other despicable organisations means I'm saying bog off and cheerio to X.

@drphilhammond @UKLabour @wesstreeting Prevent bad leadership and you will stop the exodus of great employees. Place clinicians into leadership positions especially doctors @wesstreeting @uklabour

The NHS may be broken, according to @UKLabour @wesstreeting, but here’s how to fix it. Prevention, Prevention, Prevention, Prevention…. 1. Prevent poverty. It’s the single biggest determinant of ill health, and health and social care demand, both now and in the future. Blair and Brown made good progress in reducing it. So it can be done. 2. Prevent illness, with a relentless focus on living well, self-care, mental health support and tackling the commercial determinants of illness. Dental disease is the commonest cause of childhood operations, and yet it’s almost 100% preventable. 3. Prevent existing risks and diseases getting worse, with evidence-based screening and a substantial shift in resources to primary, community and social care 4. Preventing waste and medical harm, by ensuring patients receive the right care, in the right place, from the right people at the right time. This is the toughest nut to crack, as it requires adequate numbers of well trained and well rested staff working in safe, clean environments with the right equipment. We currently spent three times as much litigating harms from maternity care than we do on maternity care. This is a permanent disaster and would be a very good place to start. Instead of repeating our mistakes, we need to learn from them.

Very excited to have cast my vote!

What is this sea creature? 😨

@cleanupbritain We need public TV ad campaigns. What ever happened to public health and other campaigns? They work!

Seemingly proof that ‘Don’t Litter’ signs don’t work. If any, what other signs might deter litterers?

@Professorfengli @BayesBSchool OMGoodness. It's just like the old days. 'His-story' versus scientific evidence. Its why I spent years trying to replicate my findings... to help my field of leadership research move away from ego-centric anecdotes. Following the amazing Dan Hambrick's Upper Echelons theory.

My @BayesBSchool colleague Prof @AmandaGoodall1 might have something to say about this? “The best CEOs and owners are the accountants, the people who do the boring, repetitive, day-to-day delivery, and that’s what you need” Michael O’Leary told Bloomberg fortune.com/2024/04/24/rya…

Great to be at SABEW conference in Chicago to have "Credible" recognised as Best Business Book in Leadership and Management. Thank you SABEW #SABEW24 #sabew #bayesbusinessschool

@ZahiraJaser It's a very moving piece.

My essay on Anti-Palestinian Racism is out today as the Leading online article of the Financial Times Magazine. It is a big moment for me as Palestinian woman to speak up about this in such a public way. 🧵 "Coming out as Palestinian" on.ft.com/3vIASGO

Thankyou @LordRoyKennedy for paying tribute to the campaigners who have 'never given up'. @cattwil @JoDarbyshire12 @LiamSpender @LKPleasehold & many more. "The fantastic play @FleeceholdPlay written by @ShelshelMichele and goes back to 1884. This has been going on a long time"

@ZahiraJaser @FT Exactly.

@AmandaGoodall1 @FT No words.

Letter: Why choice of top science quango boss matters ft.com/content/fb4b37… via @ft The non-scientist Science minister Andrew Griffith wants a business person to lead UK Research and Innovation. Why does the government consistently sabotage all that's good in this country?

@BBCr4today such a shame the expert was given much less time than the politician to talk about the damaging effects of Neonicotinoids on our environment.

@ChrissieGrech If we paid better salaries to our MPs we would get better MPs and we could stop them for taking other jobs, no?

Remember this when you criticise the doctors' strike. 👇 #ToriesOut at the earliest opportunity!

@johnsuchet1 They are sad undeveloped people to get their kicks inflicting pain on wild animals. Labour really needs to BAN hunting properly when they get back into power.

Members of the Old Surrey, Burstow and West Kent Hunt (Shouldn’t that be West Hent K*nt?) Otherwise known as evil gormless sadistic bastards. Hope you fall and break every limb. Then you might have some idea of what you inflict on the noble defenceless fox.
