New behavioural science research shows that cynical thinking is a barrier to success at work. Cynicism can bleed workplaces of creativity, openness & morale & negatively impact outcomes. People who succeed at work tend to so by building trusting connections & alliances: the opposite of cynicism. People don't typically have "cynical personalities". Rather, the social environment significantly shapes our willingness to give & earn trust. Three ways to overcome a culture of cynicism:
1) Turn trust and collaboration into the default setting in the team/organisation.
2) Show how popular cooperative values really are & help people feel safer pursuing collective success.
3) Role model being the first to trust.

I am astonished there is not a single mention of action to address racism, bullying and harassment, or making the raising of concerns safer and more effective. Is there a reason for this glaring gap?
What early actions can the new government take to improve working conditions for #NHS staff? We've outlined 10 things that could make a difference in our latest briefing – find out more here: kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and…
ALT 10 actions the government can take to improve working conditions for NHS staff 1. Mandate the introduction of minimum standards for facilities, working conditions and work scheduling. 2. Support the NHS to modernise its approach to flexible working. 3. Reintroduce the ring-fence around funding for evidence-based mental health and wellbeing services for staff. 4. Support NHS workplaces to adapt and improve working cultures. 5. Commission the creation of national guidance targeting the systemic drivers of poor staff wellbeing. 6. Introduce key indicators to measure staff wellbeing improvements. 7. Ensure staff are appropriately renumerated for their skills, commitment and expertise. 8. Resolve industrial disputes as soon as possible. 9. Examine cases where terms and condtions in national contracts should be used to ensure all staff have access to good employment practices. 10. Recognise, value and support the development of high-quality leaders.

Staff wellbeing & morale are a major part of this story: we know staff have emerged from the pandemic burnt out. But we also know that orgs with psychological safety and an emphasis on wellbeing retain staff. This offers a vital clue about fixing the productivity puzzle

URGENT! Pls share. The last chance to register to vote in the General Election is 11.59pm tomorrow Tue 18 June. Potentially 8m aren't registered at their current address. Here's 4 key facts...
1) You can do it online here registertovote.service.gov.u…
2) It's good for your finances. Not being on electoral roll can make it more difficult to be accepted for credit products like bank accounts or mortgages.
3) You can opt out of the 'Open Register' (which allows your info to be sold on) which will stop you getting junk mail marketing )
4) You'll need ID when you do vote (not to register) if you don't have it, you can get it free until Wed 26 June gov.uk/apply-for-photo-id-vo…

Today marks 7 years since the Grenfell Tower fire. 72 people lost their lives in this preventable tragedy. They were victims of corporate greed and institutional neglect. The fight for justice is far from over.

In response to Labour's distinctly underwhelming manifesto, people are *still* saying, "well let's see what happens when it gets into power. It might be bolder then."
But parties tend to become *less* radical when they take office.
Our best chance to demand better is now🧵

...So @UKLabour manifesto today, will post short thread, as done for 2 other main parties. Hope 4 lots of stuff on #prevention, #publichealth, i.e 'health' not just NHS. & recognition of #poverty. As @jrf_uk have said, MIA in the election debate between 3 main parties so far.

In 2019 I was proud to campaign for @faizashaheen Trust in politics will only be restored by inclusive parties and politicians like Faiza: critical thinkers deeply rooted in the communities they represent.

Please share widely. Notice how they can't even pronounce her name correctly in the interview.

In Emergency Medicine, social deprivation brings people to our doors, colours experiences of care, and determines outcomes. Responding to health inequalities is core to the work we do. And we can do better.

So it seems that the Tory Party and Rishi Sunak have been in a Mexican stand-off - Sunak being threatened with a VONC and Sunak threatening to destroy them all by pressing the button on a GE. We all know that Rishi is petulant, and he marched out in the rain and did it. 1/8

A staggering 1 in every 200 families is homeless in the UK @FT. We will never address mental health, school learning and much else until we tackle this foundational issue creating unbearable instability for so many families

Racism very much exists within our specialities. We need to stamp it out. But we need to acknowledge it.

Thank you to those of you who completed this survey on racism in ICM & anaesthesia. Your words & stories were distressing.
Imagine being told you smell of curry or ridiculed. Findings reported in @Anaes_News
I hope this prompts reflection & discussion
