Small teams of people are more likely (than large teams) to disrupt current ways of thinking with new ideas, inventions & opportunities. Large teams do better at developing & furthering existing ideas. If you move someone who is highly innovative in a small team into a larger

Juat listening to Alfie Moore - Comedy on Radio 4 - very funny but way more importantly, the best community outreach I've heard in ages. Great job Alfie 👏

Believing the myth that "change has to start at the top of an organisation" is an easy excuse to avoid action - a reason to do nothing when you can do something. Change doesn't have to start at the top. Change can come from anywhere. It's about people connecting up with others

I will be completing this. It matters. Please take the time to tell your story too. Especially those of you who lost someone but also the many of us who saw people change, age, suffer. Our stories are their voices. Let them be heard ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #CovidInquiry everystorymatters.co.uk/share?locale=e…

You know the whole "left brain is analytical, the right brain is creative" tripe? Well, that's not how it works! My colleagues and I just published a new study on the resting-state functional connectivity of eminent creative thinkers and we found some interesting things about

Crime policy will certainly be an issue in the London mayoral election next year. Hopefully other proposals will be better than this one: pensioners are at much lower risk of burglary than other age groups, and there’s no consistent evidence alarms prevent burglary in any case.

The best way to open people's minds isn't to argue with them. It's to listen to them. When people feel understood, they become less defensive and more reflective—and develop less extreme, more nuanced views. Productive disagreements begin with curiosity, not persuasion.

Return-to-office mandates might be a mistake. 4-year study of S&P500: when firms required people to come in, profits failed to climb—while job satisfaction & work-life balance fell. If you want people onsite, don't treat them like toddlers. Make the trip worth their time.

Research by Korn_Ferry into the qualities of senior leaders into the future. They conclude that leaders will need to be more curious, humble, continuous learners and system/network players. The role leaders play will have both more & less control than ever:

Most transformation efforts fail. Major new research from Bain & Company 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

Reminder: Myers-Briggs personality types (e.g. 'INTJ' or 'ESPF') are outdated, unreliable, crude, silly, not-very-predictive pseudo-science, based on WWII-era Jungian psychoanalytic ideas. The Big Five personality traits (discovered in the 1980s) are far superior in almost
