Micromanagement has a terrible impact on psychological safety. Micromanaged teams always have low scores in assessments of psychological safety. To deal with it:
1) make efforts to find out if it's happening amongst the teams you lead (people usually don't tell spontaneously)
2) support people in their first leadership roles not to become micromanagers
3) if you're being micromanaged, take action with others
4) self-reflect on your own style

“You can be a crier or a hugger, you can be all of these things and you can lead.” One of the world’s greatest leaders gives her final address in Parliament. If we can even be a bit “like her” we will be just amazing
Great days in “real” Denmark with the @TunstallNordic Denmark team. We talked my favourite subject of employee engagement. Kudos to the team for a 90% response rate!
Now to “international” Denmark from the best airport in the world (Aarhus) and a train to “real” Sweden.
We must strive to cultivate feelings of kindness, compassion, and love for others, viewing our fellow human beings as brothers and sisters, regardless of their race, nationality or religion. A warm heart can bring joy to our own lives and to the lives of those around us.
We're celebrating the International Day of Women and Girls in Science!
Let's look back on the life of Marie Skłodowska Curie: a Nobel Prize laureate who dedicated her life to science and became one of the world's greatest scientists.

The first principle of psychological safety:
The harder you make it to voice problems, the harder it becomes to solve them.
The issues people are most afraid to raise are the most likely to become thorns in your side. It’s impossible to fix what you don't know is broken.
I encourage you all to go into next week being more mindful.
It's easy to be consumed and overwhelmed by the myriad thoughts and to-dos competing for attention.
Mindfulness is about an intentional focus, attention to what you're doing and how you're doing it.
"Everybody has a path." Today, on #InternationalMentoringDay, hear from senior nursing executive, @PatienceChin, as she shares her passion for mentoring and being the "bridge between the clinicians and technical staff."
Today, on #MartinLutherKingDay let's remember how Dr King was not only a great leader of the American Civil Rights movement, but also a committed proponent of nonviolence. Like millions of people throughout the world I admire his dream of greater justice and equality for all.
Some national holidays could be international given the important moments and lives they honour.
Now more than ever our shared history can teach future generations.
Today I honour the life and work of #MartinLutherKingJr on #MLKDay2023
True commitment to work-life balance is giving people permission to take other priorities as seriously as their jobs.
In burnout cultures, people are expected to drop everything for work. In healthy cultures, people are encouraged to protect time for family, health, and leisure.
What’s a good day at the office?
Getting to recognise folks like Nathalie below who have put their heart, their soul, their essence into serving others.
And in Nathalie’s case, for many, many years.

You improve social care, you improve flow in hospitals
You make pension issues better,you improve elective backlog
ALL else is tinkering at the edges
Any NHS manager knows it-but can’t do much as the above issues?
Outside their control
No low hanging fruit remains to pick.
In the last 5 days of 2022, I'm retweeting the 5 tweets I posted in 2022 that others responded to the best. In 3rd place is a tweet about psychological safety & the difference between feeling unsafe (holds us back) & discomfort (can move us forward when we're well-led) #2022retro
