Following discussions at the Leading for the Future programme I now have a Post-It note on my laptop that says LISTEN!

I love to chat to colleagues so have been focusing on making sure they feel heard and I don't dominate the conversation.

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

Researchers looking at how extroverts (Es) are perceived by others at work thought they'd find that Es are regarded as good listeners as Es are "socially capable". In fact, Es were often seen by others as self-focused & needing to listen/pay more attention https://t.co/AutMgCvBMg

"Teams that take such regular time to reflect are on average between 35 per cent and 40 per cent more productive and are far more innovative than teams that simply keep spinning the wheel."

Really enjoyed this piece of work, first time working with a social anthropologist through the @online_his intern scheme. Great example of multidisciplinary team work, lots of improvement ideas for the team to reflect on and take forward with our stakeholders. #HTAi2021Manchester
