When leaders fail to explain why they rejected suggestions, we stop making them. Good explanations do more than give reasons. They express respect. We don't have to get our way to appreciate having a say. Showing care makes us feel valued—and motivates us to speak up again.

You don’t have to build confidence before taking action. You build confidence by taking action. Standing still breeds rumination and seeds self-doubt. Motion fuels progress and elevates efficacy. Never let doubts about your ability undermine your faith in your ability to learn.

One of the things we often get wrong in health & care improvement is prioritising performance improvement (process-technical aspects) over the emotional experience of participants. We need to make consideration of emotional factors one of our highest priorities in change

Many of the complex challenges we face require large-scale collaboration. We have to bring together the capability, perspectives, data & power that often sit in separate organisational boundaries. Bill Bannear Bill Bannear offers the “ecosystem value-creation journey” framework

Relaxing is not the only way to recharge. Finding meaning is a source of fuel. A restorative break doesn't just avoid tasks that burn you out. It adds people and projects that fire you up. Detaching from stress prevents exhaustion. Attaching to purpose elevates energy.

Cardiorespiratory fitness: a powerful predictor of morbidity and mortality. New data combining >20.9 million observations from 199 cohort studies found: - Higher (compared to lower) aerobic fitness reduced the risk of all-cause mortality by 41-53% - Each 1-MET (3.5 mL/kg/min)

In a distracted world, the most underrated leadership skill is listening. 144 studies, 155k people: Good listeners have deeper bonds and better results. We feel valued, and they get smarter. Great leaders are devoted learners. A key to learning is to listen more than you talk.
