R. Baltė Balčiūnienė. Nurturing feedback: how to achieve it?
According to a recent Gallup survey, 80% of employees who received meaningful feedback in the last week report being much more engaged at work. The key word in this study is "meaningful": not all performance discussions are equally effective. For example, only 14% of people in an organisation say they are encouraged and inspired to improve after annual performance reviews. Most would prefer more frequent and less formal feedback.
At this time, we often talk about growth mindsets, growth delegation, and I invite you to explore what feedback is growth and how to achieve it.

Ramunė Vakarė, an enthusiast of wildlife photography and winner of the competition "Plant Portraits", lives in a remote forest village in the Karšuva Forest, which she calls her paradise. Almost every day she walks around the forest with her camera and captures plants, bugs, mushrooms, birds, animals, which she then curiously studies, making sure to find out what she has captured.

Why apply lively systems principles in organisations?
It is important to understand the intention behind the desire to create or transform an organisation into a living one - is it the desire to be unique, to be modern, to be on trend, or is it above all the inner desire to create a healthy organisation? In the first case, the organisation will be a pretty façade without substance, another construct of rationality. Creating an organisation based on the principles of living systems first requires a change in one's own thinking and behaviour, which can often be emotionally difficult.
