...in risk, and the risk can take various forms. So that's the first role. The second role is then that when the source is clear on something that they communicate it. Now, clarity is the organising principle for a source. So most of the time, we all are not clear with our projects and initiatives. And this tend...more

... to work at Buurtzorg to other people, compared to you know, more traditional healthcare companies? Marian: You have more time for patients... Chila: Communication is much easier.

Marian: We give each other feedback. Chila: That's also a problem sometimes in the self-leadership thing. Because if you cannot do that...more

Margaret Heffernan on how to act our way out of the status quo trap
...we can, perhaps, start getting things to change. That's not very long. And so increasingly, that's what my work is focused on. In particular, how to communicate with people so that they stay hopeful. Because I think, in many ways that one part of the history of the climate crisis is an absolutely tragic, cata...more
... they stay hopeful. Because I think, in many ways that one part of the history of the climate crisis is an absolutely tragic, catastrophic failure in communication.

And they feel helpless, at exactly the moment that we need peopl...more

These skills are mostly general communication skills, active listening skills, critical thinking, you - these skills can become very useful. And then people on the team promote psychological safe...more
...our kind of second point. Regarding the skills that you've noticed are needed to work in a self managing way - around active listening, and upgrading communication skills in general in order to create this climate of psychological safety. Did you do training in those? Or was that something that you just started ...more
