Poor little boy this scares the living daylights out of me! Listen to the child’s parents! Reasonable adjustments can be made! 😢

"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.

Four fundamental ways to boost engagement at work. With the rise of hybrid/remote work, there’s a real risk that, unless we're far more deliberate about creating a culture of belonging, the people we lead may come to feel like “just another face on the Teams screen.” People need to feel: 1) Seen: that they make a unique contribution and that their absence would be noticed. 2) Heard: that their ideas and suggestions matter. 3) Valued: that their contributions are appreciated, especially when they make a significant effort. Research shows leaders systematically overestimate how much appreciation they’re conveying to their teams. 4) Encouraged: in the form of aiding and guiding each person's career. hbr.org/2023/11/4-fundamenta… By @dorieclark and @Prof_Redding.
