👉 How many times a day do you compromise your values for the sake of convenience? Just one of many pertinent questions asked over the last two days at the #BCorpFestivalUK and what a festival it was! One of the best things about being a B Corp is the community and #LouderThanWords was the largest ever gathering of B Corps (thank you B Lab UK!) It was brilliant to come together and discuss all things collaboration, ambition and impact when it comes to creating sustainable, responsible business. Personal highlights in talks/ workshops/ discussions: 📣 Mary Portas OBE discussing the #greeneconomy, the say-do gap and how we can focus on trust and desire to bring everyone on the journey 📣Patrick Grant Community Clothing: Less, better, local, and focus on citizen needs not citizen wants 📣How to coach others away from apathy about our climate crisis and towards action   📣Big relationships = Big impact to think about how to strengthen key connections to amplify positive action (brilliant work from Sophie Bowen, COOK) 📣JEDI (justice, equity, diversity and inclusion) and creating a just energy transition 📣The role of financial services in correlating sustainability with commercial value - great to see you Steve W.! 📣‘Speed dating’ to meet so many fellow B Corps (thanks Rob, Standing on Giants) Eloïse and I loved seeing so many familiar faces, thanks to all of you who made it such an fantastic event! #BCorpFestivalUK #bcorp #businesssasaforceforgood

When we conform to a decision, strive for consensus and shy away from critical thinking we fall into the trap of ‘groupthink’. This can lead to poor, unchallenged choices. Groupthink can have a significant, negative impact on the ability of a team to generate different ideas and make the best decisions. To minimise groupthink as a team: 1. Increase awareness – Know where groupthink is likely to appear and where our human bias is likely to influence our ideas and decisions 2. Challenge analysis paralysis – Evaluate all ideas, considering the benefits and risks in a logical structure to bring confidence to the decision making process 3. Encourage debate – Introduce strategies such as voting, thinking time and anonymity to make space for new and alternative thoughts and innovation Read our blog to learn more about groupthink, how it can influence your team and strategies to bring more constructive challenge and improve decision making for high performance. https://lnkd.in/eb98eUfy

⭕ How do we manage through change? ⭕ Especially when it's constant! The Kubler-Ross change curve shows the phases that we move through when we experience change. We can help ourselves to move through change by recognising where we sit on this model, acknowledging each phase and allowing for self-compassion and self-awareness. This also helps us to accept, integrate and benefit from the change more quickly. ❔ Think about a recent change you have experienced in your work, where do you think you sit on this curve at the moment? ❔What would help you to move through the change curve more quickly? At Higson, we are working with many of our clients on change leadership and managing through change. If this resonates and you would like to discuss further please get in touch!
