Compassion & finding the words
When managing teams, for those that do it well - understanding human emotion & being aware of what’s present in group dynamics - is an important starting place to finding the ‘right’ approach. An ability to see clearly and speak effectively within your work groups, can be a management superpower…. skillfully handling challenges, fuelling purpose & lifting productivity.

If you’re interested in words & the clarity they provide to gaining insight into human nature …you may like to read these books, we’ve loved:
Brene Browns Atlas of the Heart – ‘Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience’. Nonfiction dedicated to exploring the words we use, to describe a spectrum of emotions. It’s a profound journey, of what we feel and how to name that. Read or listen to this book - it’s awesome.
Or for some good holiday reading: The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams Fiction exploring how words shape culture and give us meaning.
‘Set when the women’s suffrage movement was at its height and the Great War loomed, The Dictionary of Lost Words reveals a lost narrative, hidden between the lines of a history written by men. It’s a delightful, lyrical and deeply thought-provoking celebration of words, and the power of language to shape the world and our experience of it.’
