Our recent paper featuring evaluation of the Reboot coaching programme for led students. 👇

Yes! #PsychologicalSafety is primarily about safety, but not at the expense of accountability and performance. A great overview from @IrishTimes on the research behind psych safety and its benefits in the workplace... irishtimes.com/special-report…

If you have read this report and are considering how to assess your organisation’s culture with @Improve_Academy @yqsrdotorg ‘Just Culture Assessment Framework’ improvementacademy.org/networks/a-jus…

We recently published a study showing that #Reboot, a supportive coaching programme, was linked with lower #burnout & #depression in medical students. Now, Look North have covered it! 😱😊Thanks so much to our collaborators and participants ♥️ @DrWilliamLea @LucyPointon1 #meded

How should we lead in a world that's increasing VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex & ambiguous)? The leadership literature is good at describing the leadership characteristics required for a VUCA world but less good at how to develop them. So leading edge practitioners have created some evidence-based advice: 1) Adopt low-data decision making; find the “exceptional information” that's the initial sign of an emergent opportunity or threat. 2) Stop relying on active listening. Instead, adopt the new science of active questioning. 3) Don't optimise the plan; optimise the planner. 4) Don't dissociate from fear & anger; use "emotional reset" techniques instead. hbr.org/2023/09/how-to… By Angus Fletcher & colleagues in @HarvardBiz.

Adaptive leadership means shifting from being the leader who “knows it all” to the leader who's a “learn it all.” Five critical leadership skills for creating an environment in which learning things the organisation does not know how to do is valued over implementing flawlessly what it knows already: 1) Cross-cutting: leaders with more diverse networks create more value for the organisation. 2) Collaborating: fostering psychological safety to increase team performance. 3) Coaching: having critical conversations that develop others’ potential, 4) Culture shaping: shaping organisational culture by changing processes & systems. 5) Connecting: growing in empathy and authentic leadership. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/lt….

Labelling emotional distress as 'dysfunctional' makes no real psychological sense. All distress is functional if you look deep enough. At the very least it's a protest against harmful circumstances and/or unmet needs. It demands care, understanding & change - not pathologisation.

Anyone interested in accessing the materials we have developed for supporting engagement and involvement can download them free of charge from here: learn-together.org.uk These are draft versions that will be revised at the close of our testing phase in June 2023. 1/2

Critical Incident Stress Debriefing can help employees’ natural recovery after work incidents Making sure debrief facilitators are appropriately trained is crucial,but what should training courses do?

Nurses & midwives account for approx 90% of all patient contacts and so are often at the forefront of improvement/change initiatives. My colleagues' fascinating new paper offers solid evidence to help, integrating sciences of improvement, implementation & change management 👇
