In a wide-ranging conversation about bipolar, Simon Kitchen the Chief Executive of Bipolar UK and Michael Millward discuss a quotation from the French philosopher Voltaire. Simon and Michael explore the lessons about managing mental health that everyone can learn from how people with Bipolar manage their mental health. They also discuss how organisations can benefit from focusing on identifying what is good for purpose rather than perfection, and the implications this has for diversity, equality and who strive to be perfect can miss out on good solutions and the talents of good people.
