Some very helpful advice for leaders - and doable remotely 💻
Sometimes leaders say "psychological safety is tricky here due to the wider culture of this organisation". Yet each of us as leaders can promote psychological safety, every hour, every day, through our own actions. See Google's summary of actions for managers via @AmyCEdmondson

Naomi’s study compared workers spending 10 mins outdoors vs time spent indoors doing a nature based activity. Those who went out had enhanced mood. People know it’s good to be outside but they feel guilty about it!

Learnt what ‘biophilia’ is today, human/ nature interaction is so important #DOPconf
Replying to @occpsychuk
A view of nature through our windows reduces stress, even a plant in your office can reduce stress in the workplace. Biophilia - Attention restoration theory ie diverting your attention toward nature enhances performance afterwards

Virtual meetings protocols: 1. stick to a set of agreed rules regarding communication 2. take time to be extra clear 3. don’t bombard your team with messages, minimise digital volume 4. Introverts may prefer written communication 5. Find ways to celebrate and socialise together

What digital skills are required? 1. Being social with new starters, be open about values and expectations, develop new rituals unique to the team 2. Support leavers too
