We are moving to new definitions of success for organisations & systems, says @indy_johar. It is less about prescribed “end-states” (targets & standards to be achieved) & more about creating the conditions for change - diverse people working well together, having a sense of agency, adapting quickly & creating shared futures.
He sets out key leadership shifts including:
1. Focusing on relationships, not just plans: Success comes from strong trust & communication between people & teams, making it easier to handle challenges & seize opportunities.
2. Treating goals as guides, not set-in-stone: Use goals to give direction but be ready to adjust them as circumstances change & new opportunities arise.
3. Strengthening the “agentic capacity” of diverse people: Enable people to sense, interpret, act & learn together across the system so coherence is built from the ground up—not imposed from above.
4. Pushing authority and accountability closer to where challenges & opportunities happen: So decisions can be made quickly & locally.
5. Measuring improvement in adaptability & collaboration: not just results: A healthy system is one that can handle diversity, make sense of new information & adjust quickly — not just one that delivers on a fixed plan.
6. Investing in trust & learning systems: Make time & space for teams to learn from what’s working & what’s not & share that knowledge openly.
7. Operating across different time horizons simultaneously: (i) current urgencies & institutional realities (e.g. targets, reporting cycles). (ii) transitional infrastructures for reflection & adaptation; (iii) long-term investments in trust, feedback & sensing new directions.

This year’s nail watch comes from Crete - day 1 off to slow start with barely 0.5mm of growth. But stay tuned as last year we made a full 4mm and feeling confident the record up for grabs 🏖️

Last day of nail growth watch - it’s been an exciting week. Little toe has done very little until a 3mm growth spurt at the end of a eventful watch. Early findings show nails grow faster in the sun ideally by a pool. Just need NIHR grant & a few years to prove my hypothesis 🇬🇷🏖️
