Yellow and blue graphic with text. The text reads: "If somebody passes you in the corridor and you greet them with, ‘how are you doing today?’ People will come back with, ‘I'm fine, thanks.’ But if you swap that for, ‘how are you feeling today?’ You will catch people off guard. You're asking them about them as a person, not the work to be done." Under the quote is the speaker's name: Carrie Biddle, HCPC-registered speech and language therapist and Regional Head of AHPs for NHS England Workforce, Training and Education South West.

The IBMS supports @CR_UK's new manifesto which claims that 20,000 annual UK cancer deaths are avoidable. It’s time pathology services are recognised as integral to all clinical pathways, and as a significant enabler of elective and cancer recovery. ibms.org/resources/news/canc…

Two weeks today, the updated standards of proficiency come into effect. All HCPC registrants will need to meet the updated standards as far as they relate to their scope of practice. There’s never been a better time to start researching and reflecting. hcpc-uk.org/updated-sop

The most effective leaders know how to connect with people. It's not about power or popularity, but about making the people around you feel heard, comfortable, and understood.

New Stanford study on how much leaders communicate & the impact it creates. 4 key conclusions: 1) Leaders are nearly 10X as likely to be criticised by their teams for under-communicating than for over-communicating 2) Leaders who under-communicate are seen as having less empathy & less leadership ability by their teams 3) Leaders are judged much more harshly by their teams for under-communicating than for over-communicating 4) Leaders should adjust their communication patterns by communicating more, even if it leads to the (relatively minor) risk of being seen as communicating too much: journals.aom.org/doi/full/10… (paywall sorry).

Leading a team is much like conducting an orchestra. Its about building team cohesion based on a collective vision & shared goals & ensuring each person is valued for the unique contribution they make. We seek a synchronised effort that leaves a lasting impact: marian-temmen.medium.com/lea… By @MarianTemmen Graphic: @tnvora

The Danish group @InnovisorInc has identified "6 change blockers" based on analysis of networks/influence/change with organisations in 70+ countries. The 6 blockers are: 1) Leadership cohesion - leadership teams are more siloed than any other kind of team 2) The fragmentation or even disconnection of internal teams 3) Misalignment between the senior team & the people in the organisation who are most influential 4) Disengagement & lack of commitment to the change from employees 5) Lack of leadership follow through 6) A project team that has not been set up for success innovisor.com/wp-content/upl… Thank you @JeppeHansgaard
