    When I think back over my 40 year career, the best, most impactful times were when I had a boss who understood me & who believed in me. Maybe as leaders, we should all aspire to be that boss that others remember. Sketchnote by @anujmagazine based on a tweet by @ValaAfshar

    I'm having lots of conversations with people about how tired everyone is feeling right now. This graphic from the brilliant @EmmaNeuropsych offers some clues. It's time for some self love and care

    A powerful new visual of the famous Desmond Tutu quote, created by @Juliet_Young1: ‘We need to stop just pulling people out of the river. Some of us need to go upstream and find out why they are falling in’.

    Many people who, like me, are in the latter part of our careers understand that our role is increasingly about planting trees. This means developing the people who'll be our successors & helping them to shine. It also involves getting more radical about change. Art: @ImpactWales

    My dad was a sailmaker & he was brilliant at sewing. He taught me & I studied art & textiles to A level. Then I stopped. I’ve just completed my first piece of textile art after a 40 year gap & it’s hanging over my fireplace. It took me 200 hours. #NeverTooLateToResumeWhatYouLove

    In health & care, we often focus on a narrow concept of improving "staff experience", when we could be building a much deeper & more profound basis of human connection at work: a sense of belonging. Belonging is when an employee, regardless of their background or role, knows that

    Belonging at work really matters. Employees with a strong sense of belonging outperform others on almost every metric, from engagement & retention to performance & wellbeing. Good leadership supports belonging: People with an effective manager are 6X more likely to feel this

    Yesterday I posted "the 25 micro-habits of high impact managers" that often go unnoticed, but can make a massive difference to the health/performance of a team, by @firstround bit.ly/2U3IhNR. @tnvora did a brilliant job turning it into a sketchnote #AYearofTweets2021

    I joined the NHS on 7 Sept 1991 - 30 years ago today. I joined via a scheme to recruit leaders from other sectors with the potential to be NHS CEOs within 5 years. I never got to be a CEO - I became an NHS improvement leader (the best job in the world) & I'm still happily there.
