Diversity in team working

This was one of the first posts of the collection, written as health care teams formed and disbanded, at times overnight, in response to COVID-19 pressures. Valuing individual skill sets is more important than ever, both professionally and behaviourally – and recognising that these may change on a daily basis, depending on mood and morale.

Our teams helped us to get through that time and now we need to look after them. To have a team where there is complete uniformity might be comfortable for a while to work in – far less stress and pressure … but there will be an imbalance that with time will show. This might result in less creativity , or less action ( too many creative people and thus not enough people to make things happen or be the agents of change )
