@CarlOUstudy @Barry_Verdin @_NicolaMcDowell Thank you very much for your comment, Carl! It is a very interesting topic indeed and I see great opportunities for organizations that will adapt. Best of luck with your EMA!

I had an amazing experience working in the team on #B329LeadershipChallenge I am delighted to share the fruit of our labor :) #thegreatresignation #greenteam Comments are very welcome. Thank you! @_NicolaMcDowell youtu.be/85wik7_8hro

@_NicolaMcDowell Thank you @_NicolaMcDowell! I was truly fortunate to have a brilliant experience working with my fellow students. We have made a great team. Couldn't have asked for more in the final year :)

@MiriamCullen2 Great to see all the positive response to your video. Great job 👏

@FurnellLina @_NicolaMcDowell Thank you Lina for your kind words ;)

@MiriamCullen2 @_NicolaMcDowell Wow, amazing! Great job!!!!!!

@MelHamerOU @_NicolaMcDowell Thank you very much for your comment and for sharing your personal input! Best of luck with your EMA too :)

@MiriamCullen2 @_NicolaMcDowell This is fantastic! Completely agree - I’ve changed job’s because my previous workplace didn’t understand the importance of this - they wanted to make full use of the office they’d paid for. The visuals here are fab! Great work team green! Good luck with the EMA! 👏🏽

@chaz7924 Caroline, I absolutely agree! We have experienced the same recently. Working on #B329LeadershipChallenge would have been easier in person rather than remotely. Yet this is the time we are living now and it will only increase in the coming years. It's the way forward. #lesstravel

@MiriamCullen2 Yes #trust is very important, efficiency and performance are also important and this can be decreased when teams are fractured and working from home, collaborative working is much quicker & easier if your working in same building, #compromises & #flexibility are definitely needed

Love the use of video calls here #B329LeadershipChallenge very informative, if we become more #autonomous can we be replaced by #AI and not be needed any more ?

@JadeB329 @KerrylNicoll @WM3284 @DervalHealy Congratulations Jade and to your team :)

Was such a great team, with so much effort put in by all! Still can't belive we won #B329LeadershipChallenge the co petition was tough! Well done purple team 👏 💜 @KerrylNicoll @WM3284 @DervalHealy

@WhyDidntYouJust Pleasure to work with you :)

Had a fantastic group to work with for the #B329LeadershipChallenge #GreenGroup. Check out our video on #TheGreatResignation youtu.be/85wik7_8hro

These phrases resonated with me in Wk17 of #OUB329 'A key leadership goal is to find ways to draw unity from diversity.' 'An effective leader is a multiplier of leaders.' @_NicolaMcDowell

With power comes resistance. Yet the resistance doesn't need to be negative. It can pose as a catalyst and bring positive changes. #OUB329 Wk 15 @_NicolaMcDowell

In Wk14 of #OUB329, I have realized that you need to really listen to the local stakeholders and involve creativity to deal with wicked problems such as Family for every child faces in Mumbai.

Is a positive-sum leadership even possible? Theoretically, yes, but achieving a win-win situation for internal and external stakeholders is very challenging and rather rare; resulting in difficult decisions for leaders to be made. #OUB329 Wk12 @_NicolaMcDowell

Sometimes a conflict is unnecessary but it doesn't need to be destructive. If all stakeholders are considered and heard then constructive dissent practice can bring better results compared to leadership running away from conflicts. #OUB329 Wk11 @_NicolaMcDowell

Wk10 of #OUB329 I was surprised to find out that a professional law firm can act as a relational organization recognising the connection between business and personal life rather than promoting the traditional separation between the two. @_NicolaMcDowell

In Wk9 of #OUB329, I have learned that Abraham Lincoln demonstrated characteristics of collaborative leadership to achieve something he believed in to serve the greater good for future generations. @_NicolaMcDowell

@andreaopenuni @_NicolaMcDowell Best of luck with your new position :)

@MiriamCullen2 @_NicolaMcDowell Yes this is something I need to do as I take on an assistant at work! #wk8 #leadership #oub329

In Wk8 of #OUB329, I have learned that I mostly use coaching and supporting leadership styles. I will have to consider handing over tasks and giving explicit task information more often to increase my leadership abilities. @_NicolaMcDowell

In Wk7 of #OUB329, I have learned 3 step approach of looking inward rather than outward when facing difficult situations or people. I will also try to upright my posture and breath more in those situations to get a better perspective at that moment. @_NicolaMcDowell

@_NicolaMcDowell - sorry Nicola I forgot to add you in my Tweet. Hope its ok this way for this post. Thanks

In Wk5 #OUB329 I have learnt that an educational setting achievements start with a happy culture. Also, reverting toxic culture requires a strong leader with personal ethos aligned with the happy culture who can mobilize all stakeholders and bring them on board.
