Abusive bosses don't drive performance. They undermine it. 471 studies, 149k people, 36 countries: in aggressive workplaces, we do poorer work, collaborate less, and shirk more. Incivility breaks confidence and breeds resentment. The best way to get results is to show respect.

Sometimes I despair of the lack of Human Factors and sometimes even basic humanity in healthcare. Until it sees itself as a Safety Critical industry like aviation, rail, nuclear etc, reports like this will continue. When will we reach a tipping point? brightonandhovenews.org/2024…

In 2024 we want to see... ✅ Surgical care being given more attention, recognition, and investment. Because nobody deserves to suffer from a condition that could be treated with surgery. ✊ Drop a ❤️ if you agree. 🤔

A highly dysfunctional team sees other roles and departments within the same organisation as not part of the team. A BRILLIANT team sees other roles and departments within the same organisation as part of the team. This shift in mindset is everything for leadership and culture.

Taking regular breaks every few hours to rest, eat and drink can make such a difference to surgical performance. team working & patient safety Missing a meal can reduce cognitive performance & decision making & even raise the risk of a surgical error
