This was such a critically important podcast conversation with organizational psychologist and friend @ScottSonenshein that we released it on both “Dare to Lead” and “Unlocking Us” this week. bit.ly/3uD2ud3
ALT A quote from Scott Sonenshein: The world is always changing. Now it’s a racial reckoning and a pandemic. Before this, we had the 2008 recession and the dot-com boom. If you think you’re going to come in and operate your business as if it’s February 2020, you’re going to get crushed. If you think you’re leading the same workforce—people with the same mindset, the same mentality, the same desires, and the same priorities—you are nuts. You have to change or get out of the way. There’s no turning back. This is the big reset, and that’s where the hope and opportunity live.

“In Finland, the # of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” scoop.me/housing-first-finla…

My heart squirms when I see Israelis act in ways that seem ridiculous and heavy handed. I’m always cautious to assume we have the full story because of the Palestinian lie factory. I wish the other side would squirm a little when they axe to death Jews and stone babies to death.

The past 48 hours have been another appalling show of the non-Jewish world’s bloodlust to frame Israel, Zionists and Jews as the worst of humanity. No patience for investigation or evidence as to how a journalist died or how the funeral erupted in chaos. Confirmation bias.

🗳 Nearly 500 residents in #Clissold put their faith in @WEP_UK, a relatively new political party with sensible ideas. More votes than the Tories or the Lib Dems. Other parties just aren’t doing enough for women & equality and we invite them to #stealourpolicies @catherine_mayer

"While the government has promised a new focus on embodied carbon, any shift in the approach taken by the construction industry will require economic incentives." Time for local authorities to introduce #UpFrontCarbon offset funds in planning? @WHurst1 /1 theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Today, the Government made a choice to push people into poverty.
This isn't simply a crisis. It is a scandal that has been 12 years in the making, the result of successive political choices that everyone will feel - particularly women.

5 years ago, @hackneycouncil bought the Tesco site in 55 Morning Lane for £60 million. This is a big opportunity to create something the people of Hackney want & need not more profit for private developers.

.@WomenHackney has written to @mayorofhackney @PhilipGlanville calling out @hackneycouncil for not following proper process regarding the proposed nursery closures of Fernbank and Hillside Children's Centres. This is the last thing 109 children need mid-pandemic. @Save_Fernbank

Progress. In the Ldn elections I was the only politician to insist that male violence against women & girls be treated as a national threat.
Warm words alone won’t it cut, the Govt must INVEST in a holistic long-term approach that goes beyond policing.1/2
