Action bias. Football goalkeepers will jump to the left or right when facing penalties, even though statistically they'd be better off just staying in the middle. Action bias is the tendency to choose action over inaction, even where there's no indication that taking action will help. We tend to (falsely) equate activity with productivity & keeping control. We see action bias frequently in the improvement world. When results don't come quickly, leaders will want more changes, rather than waiting for the improvements to work their way through the system. Deliberately deciding to do nothing is a good practice/skill that improvement leaders need: https://t.co/xXazrA4695. By @TheDecision_Lab

Pharmacies in England are going to start prescribing medication for some common health conditions including earaches, sore throats and shingles.
The government has announced plans to hand more powers to pharmacists to ease pressure on GPs.
Trust makes a very big difference to team productivity & performance. Without trust, people withhold their talents, creativity, energy & passion. As leaders, we build trust through our every word & deed. 20 reasons why people trust us by @LeandroEHerrero: https://t.co/KhvvHjW2pL
There's a myth that fear motivates people to take action & enables change to happen in organisations. A myth is a commonly held belief that's untrue. When people are fearful, they don't learn, or innovate, or take the risks needed to improve outcomes. Fear creates a toxic culture
"Emotional labour": the process whereby leaders manage their feelings/emotions to fulfill the expectations of their role. We must acknowledge & give support for the emotional burden that comes with a leadership role says @DinaDSmith: https://t.co/mWJ9HLJleX Graphic: @lizandmollie
Many current "change management" models were created in the 1970s & don't work anymore. We must: 1) Connect change to wanted change 2) Engage influencers, not just "leaders" 3) Give all a stake 4) Have a neutral facilitator 5) Be role models: https://t.co/oeerbbf5HP V @Pragmadik
Every change initiative should have a theory of change (ToC). It helps get better outcomes. This piece is on ToC in design practice, but widely relevant. It shows how we move from a global, to a nested to a tight ToC as the initiative unfolds: https://t.co/HwfmkNbscC TY @kimshore
