What the team has been up to 

Want to learn more about how personas can help you understand your users and design better solutions for them? In Claire's brilliant blog she explains how we developed personas to better understand #OurNHSPeople.

Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) play an integral role in the recovery and restoration of our health and care systems. @KarenLe08016942 with the @DudleyGroupNHS came together this week for a fantastic session hosted and facilitated by Horizons to build a shared purpose for the future they want for #AHPs . With so many inspiring ideas, we can't wait to see what they do next! #ManySkillsOneFocus 

Leadership & Teams

Three reasons why we might want to retire the title "manager": 1) No one really wants to be "managed" anymore; 2) No one wants to "manage" others anymore; 3) "Manager" fails to capture the work people need to do now

The pandemic is accelerating our move into the era of social leadership, where leadership power is based more on what we share & the extent to which we build trusting relationships than on positional authority. Some wisdom on being social from @tbvora.

Currently, our organisations need rebels, heretics & mavericks to help light the way to change more than ever. To be inspired by an outstanding group of rebels, read the story of the NASA "pirates" group Could you be a pirate too?

We know there's a culture of belonging when we are 1) Seen for our unique contributions; 2) Connected to our co workers; 3) Supported in our daily work & career; 4) Proud of our organisation’s values & purpose. Brilliant article by Julia Taylor Kennedy and PoojaJain-Link.

Warmth is a much-needed but often underestimated trait in leaders. A study of 50,000 leaders found their overall leadership effectiveness was predicted more by their warmth than by their competence.

Large scale change 

Helen often gets asked how to build a change campaign inside an organisation or system that's more like a social movement than a programme. This "movement building canvas"  from @SocialChangeAg asks the right kind of questions to mobilise for large scale impact.

Productivity 

Why expressing emotion should be core to our work culture. When we feel supported & motivated, we're happier, more productive & stay in jobs. When bosses respond to mistakes with patience instead of fury, we trust them more.
