@HelenBevan @mtthwhgn @LSEManagement I guess "positive" doesn't necessarily mean "happy" here but more words like "hopeful", "resilient", "open", "cooperative"?
I was thinking the same, @mtthwhgn, and felt initially like it was promoting a "grin and bear" style of leadership, which seems pretentious

@HelenBevan Love when someone else says what I'm thinking and does it clearer than i thought 🙂. "Gossip is a content distribution mechanism. Slander is one form of content."

@HelenBevan @goranhenriks @karas01 Is part of "communicating effectively" challenging unhealthy tendencies of others and allowing others to challenge ours? Thinking ahead, could there be a risk of destructive debate under stress, such that effective communication is also choosing silence and tolerance?

@chrisdix1974 That works, when not at the expense of probing negative behaviours

[Philip Robinson 🇧🇧🇬🇧 @phildmusic]

Popular phrase I hear is "assume positive intent"... Hmm, seems a lil superficial... I'm more inclined to say, "assume human intent'. People are just doing the best with what they know, what they've experienced and how they feel. Sometimes that could be negative. Work wid it

A sense of urgency comes with clarity and focus.
Pressure is a sense of urgency without focus.
Stress is pressure without clarity.

@HelenBevan This is so true. The challenge is identifying "who is leading"? Organisational leadership tends to be a mix of designated, official directorship and informal influencers/modellers of culture and practice.

Faith lets you sleep.
Hope makes you rise.
Love leads you to live.

1. Cor 13:13 - these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Dig deep roots.
Spread your branches wider.
You'll still find your way to the water in the rivers and wells of home. #246 #Barbados #home

Rip the labels off the poison,
Give the bottles out for free!
Watch the people feed their children
Promises, but let them be
Filled with tainted aspirations,
Drunk with words poured recklessly.
Talk is cheap, they say of freedom,
For no one wants to pay the fee. #FreeSpeech

The Busker
#poetry #MCR

He riffs above the loops.
His smile, a popular cover.
Performance, the price
Passion pays.
Avoid his gaze.
Contact is a contract.
Music dies inside heads.
Thoughts and wishes fill his hat.
He lives to play.
The rocks roll,
But no crying out today.

#ConsciousCommonality reframes the way we think about
#DiversityandInclusion by making the discovery of deeper commonalities the conversational objective rather than just challenging our unconscious biases.

Fast + Frequent + Far..
Learning that even 2 out of 3 is ambitious and "over-achieving" for a casual runner 🏃🏿‍♂️😅

Thanks Andi and Miquita for an authentic, wide-lensed narrative of Barbados and Bajan culture, allowing locals to feature and tell the story, as opposed to being the subjects of a study. This is a recommended series and is OUR story. #caribbean #bbc2 🙌🏾https://t.co/CxEqHdLU94
