Over the COVID-19 crisis, I'm publishing a weekly bulletin - XQQQS Me! - to explore what we can learn from this fast-tracked world of high performance we find ourselves in - and how we can apply it to creating great care over the longer term. Two editions were especially popular -leadership and motivation - so I've dropped them into a podcast. The motivation edition identifies six characteristics of staying motivated in tough times I've observed during the COVID-19 response - and explores how we can apply them to lead great care every day.
