Yesterday I led a session on "building a sense of belonging" as a key capability for leaders of change. Psychologists say people have a fundamental need to belong - on a par with our need to feel loved. A sense of belonging makes us more likely to collaborate, share ideas, innovate & support change at work. A sense of belonging isn't just a feeling of "fitting in". It's also about being recognised for the unique things that each of us brings. Here's a piece I wrote with @goranhenriks for @BMJLeader: blogs.bmj.com/bmjleader/2021… Here are some recent practical resources to build belonging from @CCLdotORG: ccl.org/articles/leading-eff… Plus a graphic that describes how people often feel when they don't belong.
