So how does one incorporate resilience and compassion into teamwork in the face of tough challenges, work overload/deadlines, pressures to meet commissioning/trust targets and understanding the minds of the differing personalities that you work with on a daily basis?There are no easy answers or quick solutions however what I have realised whilst working within my team is that small random acts of kindness often goes a long way.
Equally what is pertinent is that you have to make attempts at chipping away at the obstacles whilst embracing change. We pride ourselves on the fact that our team is great because we incorporate the 5 R's with the 6C's: Respect each other Role model - to staff/clients/community Resilient - we don't get going when it gets tough. Responsibility- we are responsible for ourselves, clients & community Restorative - offload & reflect.
Overall what it simply comes down to is that happiness can be created whenever & wherever you are by small random acts of kindness. Sometimes we can be doing this without giving it a second thought.
