Leadership requires both empathy and curiosity. We can establish a psychologically safe workplace by actively listening without passing judgment, by giving criticism in a constructive and encouraging way, and by fostering a culture of learning. #pdsl @Leaders_SoE

It is certainly uncomfortable to examine our bias, however in doing so we can identify and mitigate in order to suspend judgment and open our minds. https://t.co/COkowXqk8q #pdsl #leadership @niamhickey @Leaders_SoE @patriciamannixm

Are we listening or are we actually present without any distraction?? Coaches know the importance of just listening to what someone has to say. #pdsl #leadership @Leaders_SoE @niamhickey @patriciamannixm

It is impossible to avoid conflict but it is vital to deal with it peacefully when you do encounter it whether it’s in your work life or personal life. #pdsl
