Using "simple rules" in system change. People sometimes get confused over the nature of "simple rules". Because they have the label "rules", people think they are absolutist or prescriptive which is not the case. Simple rules can be one of the most powerful ways to move forward with change in a complex system. They're a set of principles that everyone agrees to and which help us move forward together in a consistent/shared direction.
The concept of simple rules from @GlendaEoyang: https://t.co/It803YHhQu.

Excellent day2 #UKSF2024 Highlight for me was @DrTerryQuinn plenary on Priorities in Stroke Care -from the microscopic to wide angle lens. #NHS needs investment, belief, support. ‘NHS is broken’ not helpful, not good for morale @StrokeImperial @RCOT_NP

[Eleanor Doherty @EleanorDoherty6]

Such inspiring, eloquent and witty speakers at the opening plenary at #UKSF2024 & insights from experts and people with lived experience. Amazing start to day 2 - thanks to all involved.

As leaders, we want to build learning systems & learning organisations. That means we need to role model being continuous learners. It can be hard to make space for personal learning when our roles are so full on. Here are five ways to keep learning, even when we feel depleted:
1) Challenge our beliefs about our capacity to learn;
2) Start with topics that solve urgent problems;
3) Don’t limit ourselves to learning via formal programmes;
4) Make an emotional connection to learning - in line with what matters to us rather than the expectations of others;
5) Work with our brains, not against them - evidence-based approaches that increase retention.

"Mattering" is the belief that we’re significant to the world around us. When people feel they matter, they feel seen, important & needed through how others treat them. Scholars have deemed mattering to be a core instinct that drives all human behaviour. That’s why, when someone doesn’t believe they matter at work they:
- won’t share their voice if they don’t believe their voice is significant
- won’t use their strengths if they don’t believe they have strengths
- won’t contribute if they don’t believe they have something to contribute
- won’t care as much as if they feel cared for
Actions that leaders/ teams can take: see some excellent articles by @ZachMercurio - "How to Create Mattering at Work": https://t.co/vlxLnrqGWF and "The Cost of Not Mattering at Work": https://t.co/AocAKNMhxm.
