There are some fantastic (free) resources for change & great graphics in the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (@RNAO) "Leading Change Toolkit". I particularly like the content on the "social movement action framework", a people-led, grassroots approach to change that develops in response to an urgent shared concern or strongly desired change as well as a readiness for purposeful action by individuals, groups & organizations.

One of the key graphics has been adapted by @TCI_ca: https://t.co/z8cKyTYVXZ. If we typically led more change this way (with & by people, rather than to or for people) we would make quicker progress.

When people describe the best teams they ever worked in, they typically describe teams that are socially cohesive. Socially cohesive teams have a high degree of connectivity & solidarity, belongingness & emotional support. This "social tissue" creates the conditions for high performance. Here is some excellent practical advice on how to build social cohesion in teams:
1) Create a compelling team identity
2) Establish shared norms & values
3) Promote shared experiences & team rituals

In least-developed countries & low to middle-income countries, drought is still the single greatest cause of agricultural production loss.

What’s more, it impacts agriculture almost exclusively 👉 https://t.co/nM8wmqbgYB

These colleagues are fantastic but an all male panel is not ok. Gender equity means tackling power inequities. We need everyone – not just women – to call this out, say no to being on such panels, don’t organise such panels. #2024Stillhappening

📈 Our latest Kids Food Guarantee research shows healthy packed lunches cost on average 45% more than unhealthy options.

No one should be priced out of being able to provide healthy food for their children and retailers need to do more to support families to afford the food they need.
