I don’t look at men’s WRs & think they’ve pushed the boundaries of human capabilities. I think they’ve pushed the boundaries of *male* ability. I’m more interested in women’s WRs cos they show what people with *female* bodies can achieve. It’s inspiring for 51% of the population.

Longing to be near the sea atm but making this arrangement took the edge off slightly. I design my photos to dial down anxiety & lift your mood slightly-much needed on here right now. Spend a few seconds focussing on the colours, patterns & details if you’re strung out:

The Nike ad gets greatness wrong.
It falls for a social media version of greatness... looking good to a few, but failing in the real world.
What works in the actual arena isn't a maniacal selfish, blinding obsession:

There were at least 180 publicly out #LGBTQ athletes at the last #Olympics .
If #TeamLGBTQ had been a nation they would have won
11 🥇
12 🥈
9 🥉
And placed 7th overall.
Every LGBTQ kid who was told they couldn’t compete should know - we can be champions!

So much of our focus in trying to spread improvements is in "explicit" knowledge: toolkits, good practice databases, standardised pathways etc. Most of the content that AI repurposes from online resources is explicit knowledge.
Yet the biggest opportunities are in "tacit" knowledge: the practical "know-how" rooted in people, their experiences, insights & judgements. Unlocking tacit knowledge is how organisations break past their internal barriers to innovate & improve.
Thanks @tnvora for a striking new version of the explicit/tacit iceberg picture. Tanmay has also written an excellent blog on how to unlock tacit knowledge: qaspire.com/the-iceberg-of-o…

This is massive
Supreme Court rules WCs can sued for nuisance or trespass for dumping sewage even if “There has been no negligence or deliberate misconduct”, by the WC
That opens the way for 1,000s of claims by fishing clubs, swimmers, riparian owners against WCs. WOW just WOW!

Trying to rush development is like forcing a sapling to grow faster by pulling on it.
It might feel like you are doing something. The tree might appear to get a little taller. Hut in reality, you've either ruined its roots or damaged it.
Patience. Don't rush development.

What does a high-performance environment look like?
Relentless work ethic, high expectations and standards, excellence, optimization, accountability?
Maybe...it's simpler: Fun.

A further graphic that makes the powerful point that we have to think differently about "failure" if we want to build psychological safety for high performance in our teams & organisations. It's inspired by @AmyCEdmondson. The ideas are further developed in her latest book "Right kind of wrong". Graphic by @Adrien_Liard via @TheQI_Guy.

Most transformation efforts fail. Major new research from @BainandCompany says only 12% of big change programmes produce lasting results. They identify six "good practices" for large scale change strategies that greatly increase the likelihood of success:
1) Treat transformation as a continuous process rather than a discrete programme.
2) Build it into the operating rhythm of the organisation
3) Explicitly manage energy for change - sequence changes to avoid widespread organisational fatigue
4) Use aspirations, not benchmarks, to set goals - top-down data driven mandates can crush transformational thinking
5) Adopt a “middle-out”, rather than "top down" approach
6) Allow sufficient funding (in the research, nearly every failed transformation wasn't funded properly)
