🧵Since it is becoming hard to track, here is a thread of the simply astounding weather records planet Earth has started shattering in recent weeks:

1. Dramatic flood events have begun striking various countries around the world simultaneously this week.

Often as leaders, we get valued for taking action, rather than for thinking about things. It leads to short-term perspectives rather than the strategic, big-picture, long-term thinking we need for complex problems. Making time for magical thinking, especially collective thinking, really can change the world: https://t.co/2dt19UkRK9 By @peoplefirstps. Graphic: @grantdraws

“The biggest barrier to systems thinking is the resistance to the conclusions it leads to. It's not hard to understand that everything is interconnected. It is hard to change structures, power, and habits in line with that understanding.”

@Sam_in_Cam @borofergie @aledjones_gsi @floodmary @NatFloodForum @lornadupre RT's much appreciated! #flooding #communityresilience #floodresearch #floodresilience #cambridgeshire

[Becca Gipp @beccagipp]

'Community resilience' is a major part of the UK's response to #flooding. I'm researching what this looks like from the perspective of those that have been impacted by flooding. If this is you & you can spare 10 minutes, please complete my questionnaire:

Absolutely disastrous.

Until Brexit, the UK government was required to achieve "good" chemical and ecological status by 2027. That has now been pushed back to 2063.

Toxic cultures define success as winning a cutthroat competition. They reward people for stabbing others in the back.

Healthy cultures define success as making a contribution. They reward people for having others’ backs.

Good organizations elevate those who elevate others.

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

Many current "change management" models were created in the 1970s & don't work anymore. We must: 1) Connect change to wanted change 2) Engage influencers, not just "leaders" 3) Give all a stake 4) Have a neutral facilitator 5) Be role models: https://t.co/oeerbbf5HP V @Pragmadik

The Neo-Generalist, and why we should all have ‘one’

(and thanks to @beccagipp for introducing me to the term 'Neo-generalist')

“Institutions are not the sole source of power in society. They do not have a monopoly on the means of producing the best solutions to socioeconomic challenges. Another essential power source—communities—also produces collective well-being outcomes.” 👏🏻

[Cormac Russell @CormacRussell]

“one of the critical reasons that human beings gather in groups is because we suffer and die and there is no cure for that, only the solace of community.“ https://t.co/uI1nlNgOpX

Developing the capabilities, skills & courage to make change in inherently more complex contexts equally as important. It’s tough work to resist doing what we’ve always done.

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

Classic "change management" methods only work in certain contexts. Cascading change through top down influence may work in "simple" contexts but are less effective in complicated, interdependent &/or uncertain contexts. What to do instead: https://t.co/ZFcTWECjrX By @BCGhenderson

.@LiviButt: "We make decisions about people whose lives we do not understand because we do walk in their shoes.

Our decision-makers do not look like the people they're making decisions about.

That is why we have to have a people-powered health system." #StrongerThings #NHS

For those days when you feel like you're drowning in the bureaucracy of the public service, here are some thoughts about why I'm so grateful for the opportunity to be a public servant. Hoping this can bring you some light during the dark days. A thread...

[Dr. Aaron Thierry @ThierryAaron]

Social science has a huge amount to teach us about the causes, impacts of & solutions to the climate crisis, yet is often badly neglected.

Here's a short🧵highlighting some key papers I've recently benefit from reading - what papers would you add? 📖

The forgotten oil ads that told us climate change was nothing.
Since the 1980s, fossil fuel firms have run ads touting climate denial messages – many of which they’d now like us to forget https://t.co/lbxWEI1rTG
