Things fall apart…

When your leadership and example matters, your mistakes can have greater consequences. Mis-Communicator of the Week Award goes to Reform UK (Kent County Council) for the debacle of their zoom council meeting, which was leaked to the papers this week. Reform have a credibility challenge. People are angry with the status quo and Reform have very effectively stepped into that gap with a message that panders to fears and promises change. But now they are in government in Kent County Council, they have to put their money where their mouth is and actually deliver the change they have promised… and they are struggling to prove their competence. As a leader, one of your most important functions is to build a healthy and productive team dynamic. Get it right, and the team becomes greater than the sum of its parts.

People won’t listen to you talk the talk if they haven’t seen you walk the walk.

We often hear cliche messages from celebrities and sports stars. ‘Believe in your self’ ‘Keep grinding’ ‘Never underestimate your opponent’ Lovely words that get easily forgotten because they are often not backed up by...
Racism generally is not a good look. But it is a sad indictment of society today that it is only when that racism is indefensibly ugly and outrageous that it will not actually be defended. MisCommunicator of the Week Award goes to the Truth Social account of Donald Trump for the post depicting the Obamas as apes. You know things are bad when even Donald Trump deletes and disavows one of his own posts. And as much as there is so much that can and has been said about the despicable post, there...
