A little bit quirky, a little bit mad, a little bit good, a little bit bad...

So proud to have led @CareQme Queen’s House to win Care Home of the Year 2020 for the 2nd time. What an amazing team & thank you to our relatives for nominating us #carehomes #nursing @cazzyraw1 @LouMcintee

@janeeedouglas @CareQme @cazzyraw1 Thank you for your amazing leadership Jane, you were a huge part of this achievement 💪❤️xx

We work hierarchically, & make career progression linear. What a waste. Let's share ideas, energy, & wisdom across our generations. Go beyond 'level', involve more people in decision-making. See learning as reciprocal & lifelong. We surely need all the ideas & energy we can get.

[Brigid Russell @brigidrussell51]

Talking in terms of top-down & bottom-up in organisations misses the point. How about we listen to each other across & regardless of hierarchical levels? It's a waste not to. Ideas & answers surely lie in our collective know-how & experience, wherever & whoever we happen to be.

[Lynn McCallum @drlynnmccallum]

@brigidrussell51 I don’t think bottom up is meant to be patronising, I think it’s an attempt to move away from a command and control environment to a much more inclusive and involved culture. Reality is that those doing the roles have a much better idea of how they should develop.

[@weirb4 @weirb4]

@brigidrussell51 Top & bottom are metaphors aren’t they, for organisational relationships. Maybe we could try circular organograms? Ackoff talked about circular organisations. But who is at the centre?

[lou mcintee @LouMcintee]

@janeeedouglas @CareInspect @TransformNurse Haha yes I was Jane, but probably only because I didn’t realise they’d moved the deadline!

[lou mcintee @LouMcintee]

@janeeedouglas “You’re the Voice” ❤️

[lou mcintee @LouMcintee]

@janeeedouglas A sad farewell to the best manager, leader and mentor I could have wished for. I’ve been so lucky to know you and work for you Jane. Good luck in your new job xx

[lou mcintee @LouMcintee]

@janeeedouglas @Queenshouse1 @MurrayHouse10 @leitch_trudy @tracyrichardso8 @Karina_Louise Loved this kick off meeting today, such positive vibes from our 12 nominated members. I’m really excited about our new Cabinet, and being involved in shaping the future of Queens House as an organisation.

I’m sitting in crowded A&E with my kid, who seems to have appendicitis, marvelling at how patient & kind the staff are in spite of the heavy pressures on them. True, it’s best not to get ill at weekends, but thank God for the NHS - creaking, bureaucratic but excellent.
