Life is in the transition. Letting go of old roles, taking on new. Letting go of old skills, taking on new. And managing emotional energy productively every step of the way. Each sunrise beckons us back into these realities. Life truly is in the transition. #sixtysecondsolitude

The power of positional authority is diminishing. Increasingly, leadership power is not about how high leaders are on the org chart but whether they’re trusted, collaborative & respected. 11 things your boss can't have without your approval:franksonnenbergonline.com/po… By @fsonnenberg

When I think back over my 40 year career, the best, most impactful times were when I had a boss who understood me & who believed in me. Maybe as leaders, we should all aspire to be that boss that others remember. Sketchnote by @anujmagazine based on a tweet by @ValaAfshar

Thankfully Covid is no longer the threat it once was, but a new animation based around Kerplunk is reminding us that while we should no longer lose our marbles over the virus, we are clutching at straws if we think it has gone away. Learn more! --> orlo.uk/mc2Na

Words of wisdom (as always from @ProfDonnaHall!)
Most of us will have experienced micromanagement & know it doesn’t work. It leaves people feeling dispirited & worthless. Believing in people, trusting them to innovate & tackle big scary work with support brings out the best in people. Building a team by believing in each other
