OPINION: Remote work enables freedom, flexibility, choice and, in some cases, a more inclusive and equitable workplace culture for marginalised groups. Tell that to the Tories who are out of step with progress in the workplace https://t.co/CygI6jMraD

Real #Leadership is about ensuring the psychological safety of your team—-a workplace free of blame, judgement or dismissive attitudes gives space for new ideas & innovation to bloom!

This made my morning! Complex services require complex answers that take time and understanding . Choosing simple answers only shortens the herd’s journey. #leadership #programevaluation #humanservices #servicedesign

@tobi My Systems Thinking go-to references…anything by Donella Meadows (Dancing with Systems is a fav for newbies), Russel Ackoff and these! Understanding how parts are connected helps us touch the elusive behaviours that drive it. Love this shit! In general older orgs are not fans :(

Allowing staff the time to think and process information @ work is key to discovering effective solutions in all work places.If workplace culture believes that “busy” is the answer to solving problems, the work environment is likely not producing much value #leadership #culture

@AlexOsterwalder That managers know best and can make decisions on what they think they know.

Well done @HarveysCanada! Children need opportunities to learn stewardship and about food—-your choice to include “THIS” instead of a piece of junk plastic in the kid’s meals is incredibly awesome. #Sustainability #nature #earlylearning #values

Don't be impressed by money, followers, degrees, and titles. Be impressed by kindness, integrity, humility, and generosity. 🧠

Remembering this. #femicide #ViolenceAgainstWomen

[CAMH @CAMHnews]

Today is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. We reflect on the tragic murder of 14 women at l'École Polytechnique in Montreal 31 years ago, and remain steadfast in ending gender based violence. #EndVAW #December6
