We believe that effective, ethical, and inclusive leadership is essential for organisational success and societal progress. 💡 Why Our Work Matters In recent years, several high-profile leadership failures have underscored the urgent need for improvement: Royal Mail Horizon Scandal A significant miscarriage of justice caused by a faulty IT system led to the wrongful prosecution of sub-postmasters, exposing critical leadership and governance shortcomings. Grenfell Tower Tragedy Leadership and oversight failures contributed to one of the UK's most devastating residential fires, highlighting the importance of accountability and ethical decision-making. Financial Sector Misconduct Unethical practices in banking and finance have eroded public trust, demonstrating the severe consequences of inadequate leadership. These events have profoundly impacted individuals, communities, and the nation, emphasising the vital role that competent and ethical leadership plays in preventing systemic failures and fostering public trust.

🔗 Exploring Australia's Right-Wing Network 🔗 A closer look at the interconnected web of right-wing organizations in Australia reveals a significant overlap of key figures and advisory roles. Groups like Advance Australia, the Institute of Public Affairs (IPA), and the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) are central to this network. Notable connections: Tony Abbott and Jacinta Price are pivotal across multiple organizations. Advance Australia and the IPA serve as major hubs, with several former Liberal Party figures involved. Overlapping leadership roles across groups like Fair Australia, Australians for Unity, and Not Zero create a tightly-knit ecosystem. How do these connections shape the political landscape in Australia? Let’s discuss! #Leadership #PoliticalInfluence #Australia #RightWingNetwork #auspol25

As well as participating in the CN Leaders Summit last week, I was also lucky enough to virtually attend B Lab UK's Louder Than Words Festival Speakers, including Mary Portas OBE, Patrick Grant FRSA, Farhana Yamin, Anuradha Chugh, Chris Skidmore, and Cynthia Davis CBE, led sessions that focused on how we can change the UK economy for the better, while driving justice, equity, inclusion and diversity. I was particularly struck by Mary Portas’ inspiring words: "Desire is the most powerful driver of human behaviour." It made me think about the steps we need to take to truly deliver the positive change in business that we’re all aspiring towards. 🧑🤝🧑Actions will always speak louder than words. Even if we don’t get them perfectly right to start with, it’s better to set actionable goals and hold ourselves accountable, rather than waiting for the right solution to magically present itself. Actions can always be tweaked, but we won’t know until we try. 🤝In business we’ve traditionally focused on competition with other companies, but I think it’s great to immerse yourself in a community that’s dedicated to driving change for our people and planet. Surrounding ourselves with other inspirational leaders and learning from them is a brilliant way to achieve our own goals. ♻️If you want to see positive change in the world, you can’t sit around and hope it will happen, you have to be that change you want to see. Whether that’s through volunteering, learning, taking steps to be more green or adjusting your business operations, it all starts with us. #BCorpFestivalUK #Louderthanwords #BCorp #LeaveNoOneBehind

USAID continues to take significant steps forward to strengthen our ability to proactively and intentionally collaborate with business and industry. The Agency gathered over 100 of its leaders responsible for proactively driving collaboration with business and industry. This global community of Private Sector Engagement (PSE) Advisors shared leading practices for identifying potential business collaborators, building traction around a partnership idea, internally coordinating among one another, and more. More than 60 business leaders across industries joined us to dive into business priorities and where collaboration with USAID fits into their success.
