Great to see that the SheffTechLeadership meetup is making a comeback! As a first step, this first event will be a brainstorm session to understand what challenges people are facing in the leadership area, what to cover on the meetup and how to run it. meetup.com/SheffTechLeadersh…

Q2: the challenges of reflective practice - getting stuck in a negative space. Our natural negativity bias can steer us down a path of negative self talk. #HumanLeaders #HRCommunity

In our rapidly-changing world, changing our existing thought patterns may be especially useful. Interesting to read in the CIPD resource that 'reorganising existing knowledge – sometimes referred to as unlearning – is an essential component of the process.'

A2 Today's world is super complex and in the #tech teams I work with solutions shift & change all the time. Without feedback & open working the ability to solve problems & move forward shrinks everyday #HumanLeaders #HRCommunity #TechLeadership

A3 Think systemically What does your org reward - lone wolves, tech bros, alpha behaviour? How does progression work? Does it always involve people management? Do you promote the best doers into managers? How do you support the step into management? #HumanLeaders #HRCommunity

A2: for this to happen we also need orgs to value and reward people skills as much as tech skills. Give top rewards to those with great empathy as well as those with great coding skills. #HumanLeaders #HRCommunity
Here is today's Q1 Join us by using #HumanLeaders #HRCommunity Someone might just need to hear your story.
