It's time to dump the "leader" vs. "manager" distinction. It puts the practice of leadership on a pedestal and relegates the work of managers to some lower rung on the professional evolutionary ladder. Rather, we need more people at all levels who can inspire, motivate, teach,

Day 1 for the Audiology RPIW an exciting week ahead. @davies_trudie Darren Makepeace @claireelly4277 Jane Armstrong Kirsty Roberton Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust

I’m listening to Michael Beer of Harvard Business School talking about creating the conditions for transformational change. He says that a key reason why transformational change fails is because leaders focus on short-term issues and a “go to” position under pressure, rather than long-term

An excellent RPIW with the Audiology team this week, so much achieved and more to come in the 30, 60 and 90 day reviews. Well done to all involved. Darren Makepeace Kirsty Roberton Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust @davies_trudie @annastabler1 @FindleyGill @claireelly4277 Jane Armstrong
