Three modes of organising for improvement: (1) Doing things well (2) Doing things better (3) Doing better things An organisational improvement strategy should focus on all three. Many organisations currently are overfocussed on (1) & (2) and under focussed on (3). This is risky

In a time of rising incivility, this reminds us: compassion isn’t just for patients—it’s for each other. As Michael West says, compassionate cultures heal teams, not just individuals 💙 #Compassion #Healthcare #MichaelWest
