I created a deck of 35 of the graphics that I tweeted during 2023. These are the graphics linked to the tweets that others liked and retweeted the most. The graphics are mostly created by other people and I have acknowledged the source of each one. Thank you to all the brilliant artists and sketchnoters who help to synthesise and share important principles and practices through their efforts: https://t.co/nXAZf7T6ft

@Boo1977 @SheInsprAwrds @Boo_HQ Congratulations Becci - well deserved

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

Adaptive leadership means shifting from being the leader who “knows it all” to the leader who's a “learn it all.” Five critical leadership skills for creating an environment in which learning things the organisation does not know how to do is valued over implementing flawlessly what it knows already:
1) Cross-cutting: leaders with more diverse networks create more value for the organisation.
2) Collaborating: fostering psychological safety to increase team performance.
3) Coaching: having critical conversations that develop others’ potential,
4) Culture shaping: shaping organisational culture by changing processes & systems.
5) Connecting: growing in empathy and authentic leadership.

These days, we get groupthink, described so aptly by Benjamin Franklin two centuries ago: “If everyone is thinking alike, then no one is thinking."
