🔥 Compliance isn't just a box to check, friends. It's a legal maze brimming with potential pitfalls and powerful opportunities. 🚀 🎯 I'm energized as I navigate this labyrinth. And trust me, you don't need a law degree to join in this game. Here's what gets me pumped: 1️⃣ Constant evolution: Laws change, industries shift, and we adapt. It's the equivalent of intellectual CrossFit. 💪#AlwaysLearning 2️⃣ It's an edge: If you know the lay of the land, your organization isn't just compliant — it has a competitive advantage. ⚙️ #SilverLining 3️⃣ We're in it together: It's a communal challenge, not an individual struggle. Staying compliant is a team sport. 🤝 #OneTeamOneDream 🙏 However, let's not sugarcoat it. Compliance is tricky territory, filled with hidden booby traps. That's why I encourage: - Staying curious: Ask about what you don't understand and never fear! 🧐 - Engaging experts: Don't hesitate to lean on professionals when you need to. 💼 - Learning from errors: Stumbles and falls? They fuel our growth like nothing else. 🌱 In short, compliance isn't the monster under your bed. It's a maze... a glorious, mind-bending maze. And the challenge? It sparks us into action. 💥 Let's step into the ring, let's face the difficulty, and let's make the most of this grand puzzle together. 💯 Disclaimer: This isn't professional advice. Everyone's situation is unique, so consult the right professionals for your specific needs.

Make time to watch The Drop Out, the Theranos docu-drama. It’s a useful reminder to people in the business of change and transformation about the disproportionate power of hope. Elizabeth Holmes and her team tapped into every human weakness; greed, fear and hubris. The most powerful emotion was hope. When manipulated, hope has the power to disorientate the most rationale of thinkers. The episode “Old White Men” replayed conversations I’ve seen so many board rooms. Hope that an innovation will hit the bullseye. Hope that a programme will be the game-changer. Hope that a new product feature will reverse a downward trend. Hope that a new hire will fix all the problems. Harnessed correctly, hope has the power to move mountains. But remember, if something looks too good to be true – then it probably is. #transformation #businesschange #hope

Compliance and ethics can be a lonely profession, and burnout is a real struggle. That's why finding a community of like-minded professionals is so important. In my recent article for CCI, I highlight the key attributes that community gives us to help make for better outcomes. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/g6HP48e8 So take some time to find your community and share with them! And if you have other reasons for finding value in community, feel free to share them in the comments. #compliance #ethics #community

Thanks for this repost Amy Edmondson and also for your insightful research. I am facilitating a session this morning with a senior team using the #fearlessorganization scan and can't wait to share their results with them. And yes, of course I'll be incorporating the #rightkindofwrong failure discussion as well. #psychologicalsafety #leadership #cultureleadership #teamdynamics #failure #teaming

"True psychological safety involves being 'unafraid to disagree with the boss and point out others’ mistakes because we care more about the customer, the patient, the quality of the work, than about our ego in the moment'." The best teams aren't those that make the fewest mistakes; rather, they're the ones that report more errors. Why? Because they operate in an environment where transparency is encouraged and failure is seen as a learning opportunity, not a setback. 🛠️ This culture of openness fosters trust and empowers individuals to take calculated risks, knowing that their team has their back. So let's celebrate our mistakes, share them openly, and use them as stepping stones to achieve excellence together. 💼🚀 #Teamwork #Innovation #GrowthMindset #PsychologicalSafety

As we reinvest in the work of a learning community we work to cultivate a growth mindset and the prerequisites psychological safety. This summary is one I’m going to reread often! #psychologicalsafety #learningcommunity

Psychological safety: Not as easy to implement as often thought and frequently misunderstood

It's great that Amy Edmondson is endorsing Andrew Hill's article on psychological safety. It used to be that psychological safety was about, as Hill says, "reducing interpersonal fear in teams and increasing candour." It did not contain a responsibility or obligation to speak up, especially doing so when living in interpersonal fear. In The Fearless Organization, it is considered unusual that Dalio's Bridgewater has such an obligation. However, Hill's article cites Jo Daly advocating for psychological safety by saying: “It’s about understanding that we have a responsibility to listen to one another, to identify truths and speak them well but speak them kindly.” That used to be the responsibility of being a good citizen, of telling truth to power. Perhaps, as the meaning of psychological safety broadens, it migh include having the responsibility to speak up even when unsafe. That would turn organizations into masterpieces.

No matter the story, it’s the relationship that matters. I recently watched an interview with Steven Moffatt, head writer of Doctor Who, talking about how the TV series has always been about a love story between two people: the Doctor and the companion. These two characters are always at the centre – of the TARDIS, of the universe, of the drama, of the story. All of the other components, whether it’s an alien invasion or a ‘wibbley wobbly, timey wimey’ conundrum, are window dressing on what is the most important element of the show: the relationship between the Doctor and the companion. This is the same principle we use when performing improv. The circumstances may be strange – the suggestion from the audience may be that your characters are mining cheese on the moon. But the most important thing you must remember when you’re telling a story is that it’s the relationship between the people in the scene that will move the story forward. Now, for my final trick in this LinkedIn post, I’ll connect this principle to the business world. 🎩 When you’re telling the story of a company, it should involve the story of the founders and their relationship with their audience. What problem is the company trying to solve? Why is this important to them? And what have they done to move this story forward for themselves and their audience? Tell that story, and your audience will lean in just as much as I did when I learned who the old lady haunting Ruby in '73 Yards' from the latest season was. 👻 ***** Hi, I’m Marie, a writer, editor, improv performer and, yes, a Doctor Who fan who was excited when the 13th Doctor looked familiar. Get in touch if you have a story that you want to tell or if you’d like to know what I think about the writing in the Jodie Whittaker seasons of Doctor Who.
