Ten Simple Rules for Making Good Oral Presentations

[Prof Lennart Nacke, PhD @acagamic]

Most PhD students see research planning as reading everything.

It's not.

There's a completely different approach that changes everything...

A simple framework can transform how you plan research projects.

Here are 6 critical questions that will save you time:

Today, @mitsmr published ten essential leadership tips for 2025 to "build your leadership skill set & solve tough challenges in the new year". Each tip has a click through to a full article:
1) Articulate your leadership values & hold yourself accountable
2) Delegate better: consider the level of trust in the process
3) Get honest input: empower people to stop self-censoring
4) Tap the power of mid level managers to strengthen culture
5) Develop more continuous learners in your organisation
6) Set better boundaries with your team
7) Energise team meetings: Make everyone feel heard
8) Stop exalting busyness
9) Be a manager — not a mouthpiece for higher-ups
10) Communicate more effectively about change:

Interesting how many of them are so called "soft skills". Perspectives of leadership are changing.

Ten Simple Rules for Making Good Oral Presentations (1/2)

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

Storytelling is a core capability for leaders of change. Stories are the building blocks of empathy & compassion and a way of getting to the heart of who you are. They foster feelings of community & connection. They can help people feel more in control & less alone in the challenges they face. Leaders who tell compelling stories can move their audience from apathy to empathy & ultimately to action.

High levels of ‘social capital’ (the value gained when people work well together) create the conditions for high performance in health & care. The evaluation of 5 NHS organisations that undertook whole system transformation showed that social capital is more important than human capital (the skills, knowledge & experience people possess) when it comes to improving performance. Now, research newly published in @HarvardBiz concludes that social capital is at least, or more important, than human capital OR financial capital for high performance in healthcare organisations.
If we want to improve performance & productivity, we need to get serious about:
- understanding social capital (relational co-ordination & social network analysis)
- providing the time, space, focus & leadership support for relationships & connections
- building it into our improvement routines & nurturing & measuring its growth as a key component of our performance strategy.

We increasingly organise our change & improvement activities through networks. Networks are based on relationships so if we want a vibrant & successful network, we need to help people joining our networks to join in & play their part. @FitoNetwork has produced a useful checklist for supporting new network members. So whether we're welcoming new members to an existing network or creating a new network, we should take actions to:
1) Enable initial connection & information sharing
2) Help people engage in collaborative activities
3) Establish regular participation & foster collaboration
