<h2>In this week’s show</h2> <ul> <li>Sweden’s PM has been tweeting the wrong Liz Truss<strong>.</strong></li> <li>Swan on train tracks holds up rush hour commuters for an hour</li> <li>One of my favourite lines from Dale Carnegie is still getting quoted. “Show interest in others, and others will show interest in you”. I’m going to add a caveat to it though.</li> <li><strong>A discussion with Lindsay Barnett:</strong> Lindsay provides flexible and independent HR support and advice to busy HR teams and businesses. Contact Lindsey at  <a href= "https://lindsaybarnetthr.com">https://lindsaybarnetthr.com</a></li> <li><strong>Question of the week:</strong> Why should we treat introverts more softly than everybody else, there’s only one of two of them in the team.</li> </ul> <p><strong>My takeaways from the discussion were:</strong></p> <ul> <li>It’s easy to disengage a large part of the team when trying to engage the team</li> <li>Ask, in different ways, what people want.</li> <li>Consider socialising ideas which involve talking about the specific event, not general chat.</li> <li>Get to know and understand your own preferences, so you don’t always impose them on others</li> </ul>
