Forget the Polar Express. How about the #PublicLivingRoom Express? The Rochdale #Camerados were on the right track when they got together and held a #PublicLivingRoom on a train. Proving, once again, that #PublicLivingRooms can work anywhere. 👏 👏 👏 #WeAreCamerados

Our Mental Health Bill will end the inappropriate use of prison for people in desperate need of psychological care. These reforms will ensure they, and others facing acute mental health problems, get the urgent specialist help they need.
We're strengthening patient rights under the Mental Health Bill so people can get better mental health care. Here’s what we're improving for patients, staff and the public ⬇️

I’m seeing so many public servants wanting to work closer with communities, across team boundaries with the person, the family, the community at the centre rather than the silo organisation. How do we remove the barriers? Creating an appetite for radical place leadership is vital
💭 What IS Radical Place Leadership? @aglaird explains how the best examples of collaborative, person-centred working often exist in spite of the system, rather than because of it. #RadicalPlaceLeadership #Innovation #LocalGov #PublicServices #Leadership (cc: @ProfDonnaHall)

You know, let's not confuse: -Pilavachi chose not to talk publicly with -Pilavachi was denied a voice Like the rest of us, he had Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. In fact, he has much greater reach than everyone else.

Courageous people trying to do good by speaking truth to power in dysfunctional organisations & systems are often vilified, marginalised, pushed out. They are usually advocates for the citizen. Imagine if they were set loose on system reform & leaders saying “we have your back”

Leaders are often promoted into positions without essential people skills. They may have longevity, strategic thinking, the right connections but they never say “how are you really doing?” “thank you for everything you’ve done” or “I’m sorry I got that wrong” Leadership is this.

Is our role as leaders to be better at managing a broken system or redesign it with communities? The focus on acute pressures & budgets above all else means the system won’t change. 💰 is being continually pumped into the most expensive part of the system while prevention is cut

What makes change happen? Is it new structures & governance or culture & leadership? In my experience it’s the latter. Creating a new structure isn’t an end in itself. It’s the energy, the buzz of working as a team with a bold humility to build support around people & communities

Our job is to bridge or simply mind the gap between the bureaucracy of our institutional systems and the opportunities in our communities.

Thank you 🙏 for all the direct messages of support. It felt very strange posting this publicly & only did so after advice from others. Organisations who treat people so casually badly need a dose of sunlight ☀️ shining on the poor leadership so that it doesn’t happen to others.
I just think it’s really rude @wearenewlocal not even a thank you 🙏 card after 5 years in my own time.

I posted this a couple of years ago and was reminded of it recently. This is still very true. We hide our pain, but sometimes we forget that other people do it too. Remember that the things people present are usually just the tip of the iceberg.
