@makneta Not Maths. But my IT teacher said I was terrible and that it wasn't an industry for girls.

Question to women/girls in tech. When you were at school, did someone ever tell you that Math is too difficult for girls (for girls in general)?

@ahinniganB329 Sprint retrospectives in agile development are a great way to discuss things through productive conflict

#OUB329 #Week16 Learned good tips on how to introduce productive conflict into my organisation through modelling conflict myself, routinising and experimenting with it and learning to identify hidden dissent - all of which I am going to try

Some interesting stats in this

@WM3284 Great point, well made. It's sad to think that people have to go through turbulence or hardship to possibly get to this point. In an ideal world it wouldn't get to this point.

#ResistanceLeadership is not a negative thing. Given the right cause, it can benefit those who are silenced and do not know how to act. Taking leadership in such times can help things change for a win-win situation and the opposers will again follow the leader. (2/2)

#OUB329 WK15 was a real eye opener because I usually steer away from resistance to avoid conflict, but learning that #leaders will always have those resisting whatever is being said or worked on. Needles to say I have always seen #resistance as a negative thing. (1/2)

@B329Leadership I was hesitant at first, group challenges in a virtual university where people study at different paces is always hard. But had a fantastic group and really enjoyed it. Proud of the outcome too youtu.be/85wik7_8hro #B329LeadershipChallenge #thegreatresignation

#OUB329 Week 18 is all about the #B329LeadershipChallenge there has been some great work already on your #calltoaction and this week will help you finalise and launch it into the world!

@WM3284 A really interesting point

Also another interesting thing I found was that #activistLeadership usually cultivates diversity and don’t see differences as a negative thing, instead they use it as a drive and momentum it created. Reminded me a lot of #constructiveDissent

#OUB329 WK16 dissolves the image of #leadership having a single person who gives purpose or direction, instead through #activistLeadership it points that #leaders are structured horizontally and through #democraticPractices everybody can take part in the decision making.

#b329 #wk18 .. some fantastic projects have come out of this week! Inspiring, motivational and eye opening to read some of the stats

#oub329 #wk17. Learned about social change and the art of storytelling for leadership this week. Helped greatly with the #B329LeadershipChallenge

#oub329 #wk16 activist leadership this week. This was an interesting theory to learn about. A lot of inspiring articles available. A lot of worrying ones too though, when considering precarity.

#OUB329 #wk15 resistance leadership, a hard skill to adapt but utilizing resistance to push positive change canead to great outcomes. To listen with the want to understand can make this less of a challenge for the leader.

Not sure why I've been using #ouB327 instead of #ouB329... Can you tell I'm in my final year and sick of module numbers 😅

#oub327 #wk14 place-based leadership... Particularly valuable for local councils and local public health and NHS departments. A good case study (that I witnessed first hand) is devolution Manchester and some of the wins from that

#oub327 #wk12 postive-sum approach to leadership, a no no for equality and inclusion? That was what I had jotted down from my thoughts on this week. Good for aligning visions but perhaps not so good when managing individuals or smaller teams?

@ProductFont To be honest, I've found product management to be the problem more often than not... Getting product managers to make a decision

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

#oub327 reflections so far... it's been really enjoyable to but a name to the theories that I have used or witnessed being used in my day to day job

@ahinniganB329 Really nice action to take. Inspired to do the same

#OUB329 #WK9 Going forward I'm going to try to pull more than push! Listen/ask rather than talk/tell.

@SamBo21_ @Allanmooney The real-world benefits of collaboration are unending. It's not always your own personal collab skills that would need improving. Sometimes it is just about the leader behind the collaboration.

#B329 wk9 looks closely at collaborative leadership. I have previously worked collaboratively in a module and it did not come easy to me, but I recognised the importance of it afterwards. I must focus on improving my collab skills going forward. @Allanmooney

#oub327 #wk11 For me the most important quality for any leader to have when dealing or coping with conflict and change is not only to be able to listen to what people are saying but to understand why they are saying it
