I used to call it management by cake. Sitting in uni cafes so people could talk to me and I was visible and approachable

Spend time in the “in‑between” spaces. Culture shows up most clearly where no one is performing.
• Sit in atrium, café, or library & watch how people interact
• do students mix across groups or stick to silos
• listen to the tone of conversations
• how do staff & students share space

#LTHEchat A1 Flourishing in the w/place is enabled when there is a sense that it's the people and what they do, the values they hold and enact - that create the insitution. There needs to be a sense of shared history & common purpose. The space to work, strive, experiment, belong & experience joy

Come along tonight: talking about Higher Education’s favourite theme - Leadership and Flourishing 🌼
Join us for this week’s #LTHEchat which will explore Leadership and Academic Flourishing with @profdamienpage.bsky.social on Wednesday 8-9pm BST
LTHEchat 351: Leadership and Academic Flourishing
University leaders juggle a lot. Financial sustainability. Strategy. Governance. Regulators. Government. Partnerships. Reputation. Committees upon committees. It’s no surprise leadership can feel like permanent firefighting. But if there’s one role that should trump all others, it’s this: creating the conditions in which people can flourish. Everything else flows from that. And yet, in a sector under huge pressure - tighter regulation, shrinking resources, constant “transformation” that usually means cuts - this core purpose is often the first thing to slip.

A5 we ran a workshop today that touched on workload, we said developing good quality content upfront will take time, however, it will be a smarter approach, because once a piece of good quality content is done, it can be reused for a few years and/or across different cohorts/modules. #LTHEchat
