We call it the "Peter Principle"

The Peter Principle is the satirical theory that employees are generally promoted to their level of incompetence. In 1974, the author of the Peter a principle, Dr. Laurence J. Peter, explained how he first got the idea and what can be done about it

I don’t care about job titles, hierarchy, status and privileges in a leader. I care about how honest you are, approachable, inclusive, how you own your mistakes, ask for help & cheer on your team 🧁

Back to back meetings don’t = increased productivity ⛔️ Stop creating culture that values it ⛔️ Block time with tasks you are doing ⛔️ Have shorter meetings ⛔️ Say no to meetings without purpose ⛔️ Ask can we talk another way ⛔️ Always put in your breaks ⛔️ Add when day ends

Signs of a leadership culture problem: - status & grade are everything - high staff turnover, especially staff who ask questions 🙋‍♀️ - bright people go quiet 🤐 - good ideas are claimed by seniors - rule followers are the ones who stay - leaders can’t see there’s a problem 🤷‍♂️

Leadership is not about barking orders and micromanaging. It's about empowering your team and giving them the tools to succeed. ~ via @JonSRennie

We need to break the cycle of staff leaving #NHS. There are things out of our control but there are some things in our control Do we look after them? Meet their basic needs? Develop them? Be flexible? Value them? Give autonomy? Create diverse roles? Recruit fairly? Basic Needs at Work 💛🧡

Things that should be banned (part 2): - A pre meet right before the meeting - A presentation you can’t even read - People who ignore KEEP FREE in diary - One off yearly appraisals - The overuse of acronyms - The phrase “deep dive” - Long email trails - Useless targets

Things that should be banned (part 3): - Shaming people who go home on time - Valuing quantity of work over quality - Writing proposals for no good reason - Collecting data that has no value - Hierarchical status privileges - By close of play today - Printing everything out 🤷‍♀️
