Winning question of the day from @DanCardenMP exposing the reality of the exclusive Ministers VIP lane for PPE. #torybrexit corruption and sleaze

Want to be a leader to a talented and committed workforce @BTHFT? We're seeking a new Chair for the Trust to play a vital role in shaping its future as an outstanding provider of #NHS care, research and education and a great place to work. bit.ly/46EwTrv @ActAsOneBDC

Research by @CCLdotORG found teams with high degrees of psychological safety reported higher levels of performance & lower levels of interpersonal conflict. They also found that senior leadership teams reported the greatest differences in their perceived levels of psychological safety: it means that senior teams are the place where creative problem solving is most likely to be squashed & teams fail to collaborate & innovate together to their full potential. They suggest 8 steps for leaders to help create a more psychologically safe workplace: 1. Make psychological safety an explicit priority 2. Facilitate everyone speaking up 3. Establish norms for how failure is handled 4. Create space for new ideas (even wild ones) 5. Embrace productive conflict 6. Pay close attention and look for patterns 7. Make an intentional effort to promote dialogue 8. Celebrate wins ccl.org/articles/leadi…

The reality behind this is horrible

The mantra "move fast & break things" gets used to encourage disruptive innovation. It's often reckless because it ignores the negative consequences of innovation. Instead, as leaders we can "move fast & fix things", using a radical approach that moves fast, builds trust & accelerates excellence: qaspire.com/move-fast-and-… Blog & sketch by @tnvora, based on the new book by @FrancesFrei & @annemorriss.

The Michelle Mone story in full

I never want to be the kind of "change expert" that goes into a room full of practitioners and tells them what to do, knowing nothing of their existing strengths or without wondering what they can teach me. Thinking like an explorer rather than an expert is not about your role. It's not about your existing level of expertise. Many of the best role model explorers have a very high level of knowledge and expertise. Being an explorer is about acknowledging that other people might know more than you and being open to learning from them always.

System Conveners are an emerging group of changemakers who bring people together across sector, organisational & community boundaries, enabling people to share learning across those boundaries & create positive change in systems like public services.

We can start culture change at any level in an organisation. However, when senior leaders show the way, and role model positive behaviour, more change is likely to happen, more quickly. The Arbinger Institute has just released a new (free) guide: "The leadership gold standard: A blueprint to culture transformation from the top down". It contains some super tools that anyone can use, not just senior leaders: lnkd.in/eTjt_v4J Via @SmartBrief

Bloody Var again 😩🙈

What often happens when change is done "for us". Senior people, typically with good intentions, decide what & how the change happens. People don't hate change. We hate the way change is done to or for us. Much better to do change with or by us. Inspired by @cormacrussel @imgflip

Thank you to all who attended, hopefully my presentation and that of my fellow guest speakers has offered insight into the digital inclusion work and projects underway and how you can contribute to minimising the digital divide

We have today written to @10DowningStreet regarding @BorisJohnson response to the news of the events of 20 May 2020. A full copy of our letter is below.

Spending per head on healthcare in Australia in 2019 was £4184. In the UK it was £2647. The G7 average was £3523. Bear this in mind next time someone says we have an NHS problem. What we have is a government problem.
