Seth Godin maakt een goede vergelijking tussen digitale hulpmiddelen en gereedschappen van houtbewerkers: die laatsten weten dat ze hun gereedschappen moeten onderhouden (reinigen, slijpen, ...).
We moeten dus zelf zorgen dat we de digitale hulpmiddelen (die we zelf uitkiezen!!!) optimaal gebruiken, maar ook in vraag stellen (zijn er geen andere, betere tools op de markt, intussen?).
Professional woodworkers rarely have to be reminded to sharpen their tools. Of course they know this.
The rest of us, on the other hand, regularly use digital tools we don’t understand, don’t maintain and haven’t optimized.
Sometimes, our lack of care in the choice and use of tools only
wastes our time. Often, it actually degrades the quality of what we’re
seeking to create.
... the digital space, when approached with authenticity and
generosity, can create a powerful platform for learning and growth ...
This is not at all the way in which a large part of the content on social media has evolved 😔

Generosity
in sharing, engaging in authentic conversations, and nurturing
meaningful relationships are the foundation of learning in the digital
space.
My journey, which began with my first
blog post in April 2006, followed by rise of social media has reaffirmed
this time and again. These foundational principles are still as
relevant and transcend beyond platform-specific tactics.
Last week, I had the privilege of
sharing my journey and insights on using LinkedIn as a tool for building
a personal brand at IIMA Ventures + eChai entures event. It was an
inspiring conversation moderated by Kumar Manish and Jatin Chaudhary
with fellow panelists Lipi Goyal, Syed Nadeem Jafri and Jaydip Parikh.
The session was a fantastic reminder
that the digital space, when approached with authenticity and
generosity, can create a powerful platform for learning and growth.
I created the 3C’s for Leading and Learning on Social Media
back in 2015. Here is a revised version that serves as a useful
checklist for leveraging digital spaces – and captures the essence of
the panel discussion.

Language plays a critical role in fostering psychological safety.
Let me illustrate this by two
contrasting examples. In one instance, a project manager failed to
deliver on an agreed scope, and when senior leaders intervened, the
manager was harshly asked, “Who’s standing on the fault line? Whose
salary should we deduct for this?” This punitive language created a
hostile environment, discouraging openness and learning.
In a different scenario, when a member
of my product development team made an error affecting a client’s
production database, the leader approached it differently. Instead of
blaming, he reiterated his confidence in the team leader saying, “I know
we’ve made a mistake, but I’m confident you can quickly fix this before
it causes any financial damage.” This response boosted morale and led
to a quick resolution. Later, during the retrospective, he asked, “What
can we learn from this to prevent it from happening again?” This shift
from blame to learning fostered reflection and improvement.
I read Tom Geraghty’s newsletter on Psychological Safety
with great interest. In a latest edition, Tom outlines Seven deadly
sins of pshchological safety. I highly recommend his newsletter if you
are someone who is trying build a psychologically safe culture. (Full post here)
Learning to be mindful of our
language is key to maturing as leaders. Our words shape workplace
culture, either encouraging risk-taking and innovation or stifling
initiative.
Here are seven deadly sins of psychological safety in a visual form.

Van de Universiteit van Nederland: waarom je nooit je neus moet snuiten!
Waarschijnlijk heb je als kind geleerd je neus te snuiten als die vol zat. In deze aflevering legt Godelieve Damen (Radboudumc) uit waarom het veel beter is voor je eigen gezondheid en die van anderen om je neus op te halen. Of nóg beter tegen die vervelende verstopping: met zout water spoelen. Met deze tips kom je het griepseizoen wel door!
Below, a very interesting post about how one could unlock tacit knowledge (= the knowledge that is 'locked' within people (their experiences, skills, insights and judgements ... locked in their brains).
