Is the obsession with take down culture killing us
Crossposted from Linkedin – originally published 5/4/24 in the Gun Weekly On my third attempt at using Instagram @shaneguna, I’m still faced with this ever present challenge. I find, at times, the content that gets shared by physio accounts to be quite unprofessional. Honestly, at 37, I’m not old enough to be this grumpy… Granted…

Organisational Diversity: Innovative ways to find hidden talent
An area physiotherapy can look to for innovation is through organisational diversity. The way we create and structure our organisations. Most of our clinics are started as a one-woman band. Essentially, a core-brand built around the caseload of the first practitioner. And this is the first stumbling block for many. Trying to replicate the owner.…

External Diversity in Physiotherapy: Exclusive one to vulnerable many
Creating a clinic in an area filled with external diversity is a solid strategy. This means a mixture of socioeconomics. Not simply catering to the hoity-toity crowd. Yet neither should it be exclusively blue-collar. Your physiotherapists will get a good mix in their caseloads. And by welcoming all aspects of patient care, you open the…

Internal diversity, when you don’t see the lost opportunities
In part two of this series we will explore the internal dimensions of diversity. This is likely the more familiar definition of diversity in the workplace.

Passive leadership: Drowning in a great pool of need.
Passive leadership is exactly that… passive. Disengaged. Nothing fazes them to the point that others also stop trying. They are pushovers. And unlike rejecting leaders, they are simply absent (physically, and emotionally). Consequently their people are forced to fend for themselves. Or they simply leave. This is part 4 of my toxic leadership series. Exploring…

Rejecting leaders – a profitable prison for one’s own heart
Rejecting leaders work against the best interests of their team members. They are interested in what happens, but only for their own gratification. They bask in the glory of wins, taking all the credit. Meanwhile, they dismiss their staff and take them for granted. They don’t share themselves. Nor do they share their joy with…

Emotional Leader: A Passionate Storm In A Little Cup
Part two in this toxic leadership series discusses the emotional leader. It’s important to note here that emotion in leadership is a really good thing. They are the polar opposites of rejecting leaders, they actually care a lot. The challenge with ‘the emotional leader‘ isn’t the expression of emotion. It’s the unpredictability of which emotion…
