It's time to dump the "leader" vs. "manager" distinction. It puts the practice of leadership on a pedestal and relegates the work of managers to some lower rung on the professional evolutionary ladder. Rather, we need more people at all levels who can inspire, motivate, teach, coach and bring out the best in our people as the world and technology shift in front of us: https://t.co/YVx9tuh4wA Via @artpetty @RogerFrancis1

Over the past nine months, @DrNicolaBurgess has created seven brilliant blogs on learning about leadership for improvement from the evaluation of the NHS-Virginia Mason Improvement Programme. I've collated them as a series of seven consecutive posts on my LinkedIn account. You can find them here: https://t.co/SXUvmv9LN3 The graphics are by @tnvora. Thanks to @MrSteveLeach for putting all seven graphics on a single page.

With spiralling care waiting lists, staff leaving and carers burnt out, social care leaders warn “we’ve run out of road” to carry on like this, as they publish a roadmap to transform adult social care – full report here https://t.co/22PiEPk62n

[ADASS @1adass]

Speaking @1adass #SpringSeminar23 @KateJopling says that there's a consensus about what sort of care and support system people want summed up well by @socfuture vision; the Roadmap sets out a practical route to getting there. https://t.co/3T8I8e6K33

A systematic review of research on workplace breaks shows that:
1) Regular micro breaks can be better than longer breaks
2) Outdoor breaks & fresh air are better than indoor breaks
3) Scrolling social media is the most common break type but it creates emotional exhaustion
4) Spending a break with a furry companion is beneficial

Aiming for perfection (the highest degree of excellence or quality in our work) is typically a bad idea. The problem? It's easy to get bogged down creating the perfect idea or optimal plan for change or exemplary report. Much better to focus on practice & progress & learning from what works: https://t.co/u8gohLHmXc By @JamesClear Via @FerraroRoberto Graphic: @angelaterris

"A social worker who takes care of their own emotional health is not only protecting themselves but is also improving their capacity to support others"

We spend a lot of time trying to solve problems, when we don't really understand the nature of the problem in the first place. As a result, we may implement solutions that fail because they don't address the underlying issues. So this resource "The Problem Framing Canvas" from @Centre4SysInnov is super-helpful: https://t.co/KmGvH7HF5o. Thank you @tom_geraghty for the link

How do we build leadership skills for systems? We need to move beyond developing individual leaders to creating the conditions for collective leadership to flourish. 5 ways to prepare systems for transformative leadership:
1) leading together, with shared accountability
2) staying interpersonally connected
3) connecting groups with similar challenges
4) authorising and supporting internal change
5) promoting mentorship

An "ecosystem for change": This is the model I've started using to identify the range of people we need to mobilise in a large-scale change initiative. These relationships are a critical component of change because they enable a greater number of effective solutions to be designed.
