Love this from Virpi @ businessillustrator.com. Sort of sums up what I am interested in - how to work with that entangled real world of organisational politics, people learning & changing their minds and much else. There are ways of doing this. Happy to share.
As always @tanmayvora.bsky.social gets it right via @helenbevan.bsky.social . Particularly like panel on curiosity. Too many people are 'insufficiently curious'. Curiosity about what others know builds both understanding and genuine connection
There's a growing appreciation of the power of "empathetic leadership". Yet 52% of study respondents felt their organisation's efforts to be empathetic were dishonest. This suggests that while leaders are trying, many of us may be going about it wrong: t.co/2D5QlGLL4b. By tanmayvora.bsky.social

Yup.
Simple rules can be a powerful way to enable change in a complex system. They're a set of principles that everyone agrees to & help us move forward in a consistent/shared direction. See hsdinstitute.org/practice-hsd....

Front line managers are critical to any change project but are easy to forget. My experience is that the teams that get the most from a new digital system are those where the team manager 'gets' the new system. We need to provide more resource to mentor those managers who find this more difficult
NHS managers at (Agenda for Change) bands 6-8a line manage up to 80% of NHS people. These “frontline” leaders have an outsize influence on NHS performance. See eg: bcg.com/publications... by BCG.
I'm spending tomorrow with 4 NHS systems seeking ways to unleash the potential of frontline managers

Absolutely.
Collaboration & co-creation aren't the same thing. If we want to do things differently in future, collaboration (working with others who might not share our goals) isn't enough. People need to be near the creation process (co-creation) to work in creative ways. lnkd.in/gA2sB4Z9. By Dennis Hambeukers
