A5: agreed! #digitalleadership needs modelling acceptance of uncertainty, meeting others where they are but also being clear in expectations #LTHEChat #digitalleadership

A4: I’m also a fan of @jisc.bsky.social resources and particularly their Discovery Tool. It helped me support colleagues in translating their development needs specific to their context #digitalleadership

Agree! Academic citizenship and goodwill does some heavy lifting in this space, but also v rewarding I’ve found #digitalleadership

A3: Challenging assumptions about who has confidence/skills in all things digital, and who doesn’t! #LTHEChat #digitalleadership

A2: I’ve moved in and out of formal roles in digital leadership and found that for informal leadership, role modelling behaviours and practice is all the more important #LTHEChat #digitalleadership

A1: discussions around the necessary expertise have certainly been a prominent theme in our research so far #LTHEChat

A1 - whilst I think there are definite similarities, I do think #digitalleadership is sometimes (wrongly) siloed rather than integrated into broader transformational perspectives #LTHEChat

Astonishing interview on R4Today between Justin Webb and new Oxford Chancellor William Hague. Webb thinks the biggest concern for students is cancel culture. From my experience (actual lecturer), it's the cost of living & the ongoing mental health disaster for young people. Neither were addressed

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.

If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

It’s perfectly okay to write in books. And that’s a hill I’ll die on. (I fold over the corners too).

Academia runs on contacting other academics out of the blue and saying HEY do you wanna do this COOL THING for essentially NO REWARD and equally certainly NO RECOGNITION from your employer and those people going OH MAN that sounds AWESOME sign me up for the COOL NO REWARD NO RECOGNITION EXPERIENCE.
