Return to #talesfromclinic - just seen man who had no finger/thumb extension at 10 months post-stroke, but at 16 months he has the start of quite nice hand opening. It doesn’t always seem to happen in first 12 weeks. So what’s the mechanism of this? #strokerecovery

I believe kindness is a critical leadership quality. Kindness is power and a real strength I’ve seen time and time again in the best leaders I’ve worked with. Thankfully, this research backs this up too... @aimiechapple @NaomiKerbel @lynne_doherty @ZahraS_B #kindness #leadership – at Lambeth, London
#Leadwithkindness Our newly released research in partnership with @hallandpartners @oxfordsbs reveals that kind leaders develop their team by encouraging new ideas and ways of working. RT and let us know in the comments how you encourage new ideas within your team? #leadership
