Show notes
As with the end on 2016, this is a short podcast (18:58) where I reflect on the year that has been. (Does this make it a tradition now?) I also add my call to increasing compassion and kindness in the workplace and discuss the benefits of doing this and various options for how to play it out.I would also love to hear your feedback and ideas for what and who you want to hear about in future podcasts: Email: gerifitz at changingacademiclife.com or Twitter: @ChangeAcadLifeWishing all of us a balanced, authentic, vibrant, joy-filled academic life for 2018, whatever that may mean for each of us!Related links:Kylie Ball's blogpost on making kindness the next academic disruption: https://happyacademic.wordpress.com/2017/12/06/lets-make-kindness-the-next-academic-disruption/Book: ‘Awakening compassion at work’ by Monika Worline and Jane Dutton: https://www.amazon.com/Awakening-Compassion-Work-Elevates-Organizations/dp/1626564450Compassionate management: https://hbr.org/2013/09/the-rise-of-compassionate-management-finallyRandom Acts of Kindness: https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/random-acts-of-kindness.htmChancellor et al, 2016.
