Clinical Nurse Specialist. “Find your passion and it’s no longer work”

[Amy Edmondson @AmyCEdmondson]

When you look at the spectrum of causes of #failure, ask yourself: What % of the failures in your organization or family can be considered blameworthy (wherever you choose to draw that line)?

Then ask: How many of these failures are treated as blameworthy by those who matter?

[Amy Edmondson @AmyCEdmondson]

It's undeniable: to err is human. Read #RightKindofWrong to learn more about how to live with it! Plus, ways to pursue #IntelligentFailures, prevent basic ones, & learn from our missteps

The differences between a nurse practitioner (NP) and a clinical nurse specialist (CNS) can be subtle, but it is important to understand them when making your decision on which track to follow. https://t.co/wWvhyt9l0w

The highest form of debate isn't about one person declaring victory. It's about both people making a discovery.

The goal isn't to defend your reasons and attack theirs. It's to sharpen your reasoning.

Good arguments shift what you think. Great arguments change how you think.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

"I was under pressure" is not an excuse for toxic behavior.

Being stressed doesn't justify hostility. It's not your responsibility to absorb their pain.

Being busy doesn't license incivility. No one's calendar is too full to be respectful.

Most acts of kindness cost nothing.

[Amy Edmondson @AmyCEdmondson]

"Make this your own."

A math teacher I knew would say this as she was handing out thick packets on conic sections. Decades later, it plays in my head.

Here's Google's 1-pager "Manager Actions for #PsychologicalSafety."

Make it your own... and try to make it fun too

@DrNurseCDemo @Jeffrey_NYP @BernadetteKhan @nurseanthony @FloatPool_NYP Congratulations! Well deserved

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The person who talks the most is the most likely to become the leader.

Data: regardless of intelligence and expertise, groups elevate those who command the most airtime.

It's time to stop rewarding people for dominating the discussion, and start valuing quality over quantity.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Saying no doesn't always mean you're letting someone down. It might mean you're holding up your own boundaries.

You feel guilty when you focus on the costs of falling short of others' expectations. You feel relieved when you consider the benefits of knowing your own limits.

Free will, respect, peace & positivity

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The events that make your blood boil reveal what matters most to you.

Anger rises when your core values are in jeopardy. With reflection, it becomes a mirror for seeing your principles more clearly.

With action, it becomes a map for making change to protect what you hold dear.

[linda Ogbuagu @LindaOG_]

Listen to understand not respond 🙌🏽

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Leaders who fail to listen ultimately find themselves surrounded by silence.

You don't get chosen to take charge unless you give good answers. You won't be able to make change unless you ask good questions.

Learning depends on making it safe for people to tell you the truth.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

There's nothing wrong with being wrong. To err is human.

It becomes a problem when you choose to stay wrong. To deny error is willful blindness.

New information is an invitation to question old opinions. The faster you are to recognize your mistakes, the less wrong you become.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

A key skill of emotional intelligence is being slow to take offense and quick to take feedback.

People are rarely criticizing you. They're critiquing a snapshot of your words or actions.

They won't see the full you. You can still learn from their reactions to that image of you.

#ManInTheMirror

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

It's hard to keep an open mind if you don't have an open heart.

You don't have to agree with what people think to learn from how they think. You don't have to share their identity to be curious about what shaped it.

Treating people with civility is a prerequisite for discovery.

Setting boundaries for healthier relationships and not feeding egos (neither mine nor theirs) @AdamMGrant

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

We laugh at people who still use Windows 95, but we cling to opinions we formed in 1995.

Who you are should be a question of what you value, not what you believe.

The best way to stay true to your values is to stay open to rethinking your views.

What have you rethought lately?

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Helping people who are consistently selfish reinforces the wrong behavior.

When you give to takers, you reward them for using you—and encourage them to take advantage of others too.

Your time and energy is better spent with people who make the effort to pay it back or forward.

[linda Ogbuagu @LindaOG_]

How do you handle mistakes 😏

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

How we handle mistakes is a window on our character.

Narcissism is being fast to slam others' errors but slow to admit yours.

Humility is being fast to learn from your errors and slow to judge others.

Wisdom is being fast to learn from others' errors to slow the rate of yours.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Being afraid to give someone honest feedback doesn’t mean you lack courage. It means they haven’t created psychological safety.

Even if they haven’t silenced you in the past, they haven't given you a voice.

If they want the truth, they have to prove they can handle the truth.
