How we behave as a leader can influence our team risk of burnout. Green behaviours mean we are more likely to be a well functioning group taking care of each other. Holiday in the red may be needed as task priority requires but don’t get stuck there and risk your team wellbeing.

Perhaps if someone had given me my childhood vaccines like this I would not be a 50 year-old baby frightened of needles!

@WelshGasDoc A big step foward would be to take the opportunity to invest in critical care nursing. I agree that there should be more HCSWs but not to reduce the 1:1 but to support the bedside nurse. So many benefits to this.

Really like thinking about Energy & emotions. Many of us have worn ourselves out as we have spent longer in Survival mode. Need to regroup & move to right hand side. Important to be in Revive mode too. Focusing on positive emotions when low in energy enables reflection and reset.
