The British Army Intrapreneurs' Network. Inspiring individuals to make a difference

@OpConfusion Decide on the type of impact that’s really important to you. Figure out how to do that from where you are in a way that suits who you want to serve. Higher rank gives more power but not necessarily more influence over more people-effect is diluted + often distorted by CoC

@JayRochester_ @field_army @Empowrd_Soldier @staffworkhorse @ArmySgtMajor @FdArmyComdSM How much time is spent discussing individual psychology, let alone attempting to change it for the better?
Many ways of working + fundamental structures are not set up for autonomy, mastery and purpose. Found this article interesting https://t.co/TcyO2U8acI

@JayRochester_ @field_army @Empowrd_Soldier @staffworkhorse @ArmySgtMajor @FdArmyComdSM Not sure it’s just a comms problem. Empowerment is a joint contract between the person being “empowered” and the person/org doing the “empowering”. Heavily reliant on a web of thoughts & feelings-some quick examples in image.

When you embrace all aspects of yourself you can find ways to bring them to work. Great example from @JoeRead28 applying #Hamilton the musical to Professional Military Education #PME #beyou

[The Cove @covetweet]

Our @BritishArmy exchange officer @JoeRead28 has hit the ground running! Check out his first article for @covetweet in which he explains how the musical #Hamilton provides unique insights into the importance of #PME. Nice work Joe!

[BrAIN @BrAIN_Army]

@a_reluctant @BritishArmy @ArmyCGS There is a new platform but it hasn’t been formally launched yet. It is much better and allows collaboration, voting, discussion etc as well as input of problems and/or ideas.
Platform is Wazoku run. Army version is called Think Tank.

Dear Twitter, we need a break....again.

I don’t have the mental resilience to deal with you at the moment.

[BrAIN @BrAIN_Army]

@Barney065 Are you specifically pointing at my personal character in these tweets or does it just feel that way?
Majority of my time is spent helping other people’s workstrands benefit the org. None of which are traced to me. People quick to throw stones cos some of my stuff is public.

[BrAIN @BrAIN_Army]

@CO_3RegimentAAC @Barney065 @Iain_Harrison3 @RuStreatfeild @thepagey @DirectorDCDC @MattLewisFAB It’s not everyone’s experience I’m sure. It was a tweet based on personal experience of working in Army HQ
