    Came across this report on Performance Management via (thanks!) - Interesting, but for me helping managers to do the basics well is the key. More data/tech is great, but only if managers have the skill/confidence to use it to make judgements

    Really good read for those interested in organisational culture. Key line for me: "Culture is not a simple statement of values or aspirations. Rather, it is a complex and sometimes inconsistent repertoire of practices that underpin day-to-day work."

    Excellent Stanford article summing up latest thinking & practice on organisational culture. Views are shifting away from culture as an entrenched internal code to culture as a set of practices underpinning day-to-day work that we can change: Via

    For (the majority of) men who care about gender equality this means doing more childcare and housework (Sadly I am neglecting the kids to write this tweet so I'd better go and take some of my own medicine) 7/7

    This isn't anything new sadly. For anyone interested in the topic I strongly recommend "Delusions of Gender" by Cordelia Fine. Especially the chapter called "Gender Equality Begins (or Ends) at Home". It's a polemic for sure but a good one. 5/7

    At some point - long after the lockdown is over - I will look back on "the day the puppy ate laxatives" and I will laugh. (That was yesterday. Skipper now seems to be ok thankfully.)

    Some useful tips here from / about how managers can tune in to their own - and their team members' - emotional states. I can only ever find the right emoji using emoji search - might explain a lot. 😳

    There's a reason many of the greats (, , ) are urging people to name their emotions, especially during Covid-19. Science shows feeling identification helps to increase resilience, well-being, and strengthen relationships:

    In general I'm trying to moderate my covid 19 content habit (makes me anxious) and commit to what's right in front of me. But I made time for this and it was worth it.

    🚨🚨 I wrote a big new piece about all the reasons why the pandemic is so confusing, and how to think about the many uncertainties. If you’re finding it hard to make sense of this complicated & ever-changing crisis, you’re not alone. I hope this helps. 1/
