What makes change happen? Is it new structures & governance or culture & leadership? In my experience it’s the latter. Creating a new structure isn’t an end in itself. It’s the energy, the buzz of working as a team with a bold humility to build support around people & communities

Absolutely right from Lisa Nandy MP #PowerOfSport #Paralympics #Paris2024

A big milestone today with much learning about tackling #healthinequalities on the stark realities for those facing these and fighting for a better and more equal future for all. Am moved by the tireless efforts of Grenfell United & FATIMA ELGUENUNI Samira Ben Omar Centre for Population Health & all

When you look thro the community lens, you see the social injustices … and none so stark as Grenfell Tower. Grenfell United calling it out, thinking of the 72 today FATIMA ELGUENUNI The Health Creation Alliance

“Chronic lack of leadership, incompetence, dishonesty, manipulation & greed” Sir Martin Moore-Bick Grenfell Tower Inquiry “Every one of the deaths was avoidable” “There was a failure to treat residents as people” 💚 This ⬇️ thread from Peter Apps on today’s damming report

The problem is we are trying to manage a country as if we had control. Most things we don't. The role of Leaders need to change to curate growth and innovation not try to control it. #LiberatingLeaders #empowering #innovating #growth Neal Lawson ✨ Donna Hall ✨ michael sheen 💙

Leaders are often promoted into positions without essential people skills. They may have longevity, strategic thinking, the right connections but they never say “how are you really doing?” “thank you for everything you’ve done” or “I’m sorry I got that wrong” Leadership is this.

Yes - this is totally leadership ⬇️ - humility - compassion and empathy - authenticity - the belief that people come first (& actions that back this up) - self awareness

Can’t underestimate the wholesale shift in power & accountability required in UK Govt, local Govt, NHS & all public services away from silo institutions to communities. Again a preoccupation with personal & organisational reputation over people served is the same repeated problem

Poor leadership allows poor management which results in toxic workplaces&people leaving.I always ask about staff turnover & who is leaving. Often its those who are different/cause trouble (i.e refuse to be sycophantic)& leadership remains an interchangeable version of the same.

#ThoughtForTheDay listen and learn from those who live in the neighbourhoods and communities you serve

Loved this conversation with ✨ Donna Hall ✨ and Stephen Young! Tops hints and tips for place leaders and those inspiring to be so.

Busy day prepping for winter 🥶 Can’t imagine it on a day like this & Maude isn’t lifting a finger 💅🏻

Valuing people and communities and seeing them as partners in improving health and care is a way of offering hope of a better future - a direction for the new govt hsj.co.uk/service-redesi…

Is it possible to nurture empathy in leaders where it doesn’t come naturally? Given that the ability to connect with people, to build trusting relationships is key to effective leadership, why do we still focus predominantly on technical & strategic skills in appointing leaders?

Really looking forward to joining the brilliant Cath Roff MBE Leeds Council News #socialcarefuture next week. how do we create the conditions for a radical wellness approach in social care rather than time & task “homecare”. Come & join us with your ideas 💡 martin routledge Rachel Law Andrew Laird

I’m slightly appalled at this type of reporting … I’ll leave it there - but these collections belong to the people
