When people describe the best teams they ever worked in, they typically describe teams that are socially cohesive. Socially cohesive teams have a high degree of connectivity & solidarity, belongingness & emotional support. This "social tissue" creates the conditions for high performance. Here is some excellent practical advice on how to build social cohesion in teams:
1) Create a compelling team identity
2) Establish shared norms & values
3) Promote shared experiences & team rituals

We need everyone to be creative & innovative at work if we want to fundamentally improve the way we do things. However, many people find that when they generate novel ideas, they're discouraged or not supported to put their ideas into practice by their managers. New research shows this scenario may be triggering feelings of insecurity in some managers, who perceive their team members as threatening their own status. The researchers say it's not about changing the behaviours of individual managers but reframing the system:
1) build a supportive peer environment that enables managers to embrace the facilitative leadership role needed for collaborative innovation
2) promote a mindset shift from individual achievement to collective success by emphasising broader organisational goals & facilitating managers’ identification with the organisation:

There are system and capacity related issues that need to be better managed for patients who live with #asthma. We need to strengthen #primarycare. @CLicskai @carlyweeks #LongwoodsDiscussion

When you shift a foundation, the structures that are built on it are forced to shift as well.

What are foundational changes we can make to the health system?

- team based care
- pan Canadian licensure
- national workforce strategies

Transformation means shifting foundations.

@fauldscat Best Care in Primary Care is an innovative approach developed by Frontline primary care providers that is a value add to all models of care including those with teams. BC demonstrates dramatic and sustained reductions in emergency department visits and hospitalizations (70%)

Do you lead, or take part in, a virtual Community of Practice? A CoP maturity model from the very wise people at @WeAreOpenCoop: https://t.co/h2WFUVbrEA At the start, we should focus on building strong foundations of connecting relationships, not overwhelming people with actions.

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

People in our teams know the solutions to the biggest problems we face in health & care. But we need to get their ideas out into the world. That means creating a sense of psychological safety where all ideas are welcome & following up on ideas into action. Graphic: @OzolinsJanis

The power of positional authority is diminishing. Increasingly, leadership power is not about how high leaders are on the org chart but whether they’re trusted, collaborative & respected. 11 things your boss can't have without your approval:https://t.co/Llsy6M8484 By @fsonnenberg

"Over 70% of innovation comes from collaboration & < 20% from creativity." Effective team collaboration results from a high level of confidence in each other, combined with a high sense of connectedness: https://t.co/NripTKJN4z Tools to build team collaboration via @HargravesInst

Exacerbations or 'flare ups' take a huge toll on people with COPD. If you have COPD and have experienced a flare up, you deserve an urgent review of your management plan to help prevent further progression of your COPD. To learn more:
