My female chemistry teacher told me I wasn't clever enough to be a doctor. So sad that more than 30 years on, we're still putting women down.
Women in STEM are SO smashing it!!!

To the high school maths teacher who told me I’d never make it in STEM because I’m a female, today I graduated from my PhD in Biology and can confirm that women in STEM are smashing it! 👩🏼🔬

Food for thought...
"Managerial ventriloquism" is a common practice in the health & case sector. It's where leaders mention others (often those in higher authority) when they ask people to do things. Eg, "the Regional Office needs this by the close of play" or "the Director says we have to do this".
Over time, a culture builds where:
A) managers speak for others too frequently, undermining their own credibility &
B) responsibility keeps being passed to someone else, with no one willing to take ownership of decisions.

Inclusive leadership 💕 where people feel able to speak out, there is increased innovation, greater morale & happy staff=happy patients!
Research by @CCLdotORG found teams with high degrees of psychological safety reported higher levels of performance & lower levels of interpersonal conflict. They also found that senior leadership teams reported the greatest differences in their perceived levels of psychological safety: it means that senior teams are the place where creative problem solving is most likely to be squashed & teams fail to collaborate & innovate together to their full potential. They suggest 8 steps for leaders to help create a more psychologically safe workplace:
1. Make psychological safety an explicit priority
2. Facilitate everyone speaking up
3. Establish norms for how failure is handled
4. Create space for new ideas (even wild ones)
5. Embrace productive conflict
6. Pay close attention and look for patterns
7. Make an intentional effort to promote dialogue
8. Celebrate wins
