Leaders need to hear what they need to hear not simply what they want to hear. Love these simple tips. Relates strongly to psychological safety where healthy constructive challenge is not just accepted but welcomed. @darlow_heather @DrJonCrossley #psychologicalsafety #leadership
Behind many organisational failures are groups of people who knew bad things were happening but felt unwilling or unable to express their concerns. New research shows how leaders can make constructive challenge not just possible but an integral part of a thriving organisational culture. Five actions for leaders: 1) Ask better questions - ones that directly invite disagreement 2) Acknowledge the legitimacy of the challenge 3) Keep meetings interactive & friendly 4) Allocate enough time for open discussion 5) Create a sense of accountability among team members Summary article: sloanreview.mit.edu/article/…. From @mitsmr. A fantastic free White Paper on "Facilitating Constructive Challenge" based on the research: imperialcollegelondon.app.bo…. By @ProfCeliaMoore.

Great to hear from Angela Hillery, CEO of @NHFTNHS - AHPs are key for leadership positions due to their skills in communication, problem solving, creative thinking, willingness to accept change and ability to promote autonomy. #northamptonshireAHPconference
