Thought-provoking and valuable leadership away day on Tuesday. Focussing on:
💭 What do we want to achieve this year?
💭 How do we align with the organisation's goals?
💭 How can we improve collaboration?

Lots still to think about, lots of motivation to crack on with everything, lots of gratitude for being part of a fantastic team.

“I hope I leave New Zealanders with a belief that you can be kind, but strong, empathetic but decisive, optimistic but focused. And that you can be your own kind of leader – one who knows when it’s time to go."

Jacinda Ardern once again showing exactly why she has been such a fantastic Prime Minister. Whoever comes next has big boots to fill.

Jacinda... do you fancy taking on the UK next? 😅

A day of ups and downs...

📈 Utterly brilliant team session: thinking about what we want to achieve for 2023, how we overcome blockers, which working relationships we want to improve, and other similar good stuff

📉 Tricky squad meeting: it's hard to articulate that designers can't always commit to concrete deliverable work, we need to understand, think, discuss — we don't 'just' sketch and prototype

Right, I need a cuppa 😅☕

Listen Asana, if anything deserves a unicorn it's checking-off all of my end of year reviews.

Have you written your Manual of Me?

They're a really useful way of understanding yourself, and your colleagues, better. They take about an hour. And they're free.

I've long been a fan so CharityComms asked me to explain why ⬇️

Leadership tip: make yourself less available to your team.

It forces them to think more independently, to solve problems for themselves, and to take the lead in situations they might otherwise swerve and where they'd default to you.

And, of course, you can focus on your other responsibilities.

Be there when they really need you, give them the chance to grow when they'd benefit from fending for themselves.

Don’t mistake kindness for weakness. Or lack of ego for lack of backbone.
