[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

Leadership roles are less about problems to be solved than about tensions/paradoxes/polarities to be managed. These are pairs of goals that may appear to be contradictory, but BOTH are necessary. An example would be in team dynamics, with a dual focus on being safe/supportive AND honest/accountable. Both are needed to create positive results for the team.
@Deloitte has just published the 2nd of two papers.
Part one: explores the characteristics of managing these tensions/paradoxes well
Part two: describes the key qualities/conditions that leaders need to navigate in addressing them
Both parts are here: https://t.co/4BFogjODDS

😁 February is #NationalChildrensDentalHealthMonth, emphasizing the importance of good oral hygiene from an early age. Teach kids to brush, floss and visit the dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings.

Prevention is key to maintaining healthy smiles for life! 🦷

There is no reason for toxic behaviour on Twitter or other SM. It’s the behaviour of narcissists, racists, mysogynists & those with sociopathic tendencies https://t.co/6h0L6l04P5

[United Nations @UN]

We can all help counter hate speech through the power of kindness.

Together, we can say #NoToHate, and create safe spaces – online and offline – that respect human rights, diversity & tolerance.
