Misogyny is deeply ingrained in Irish society. Every woman lost is a life stolen. A mother, sister, daughter, or aunt, ripped from those who loved her. We all have a role to play in our communities, sports clubs, workplaces, and politics, to tackle this scourge head on.

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. substack.com/home/post/p-169…. Via @karas01

If you read nothing else READ THIS. Everything we need to fix everything is right here. Thank you Thomas, so clear, so true, so badly needed. Every Irish politician needs to read and understand this. If you don't get it then you are part of the problem. irishexaminer.com/opinion/co…
