No sticks or carrots. Just create best possible conditions to fire up internal drive that is already lying in wait.

@LemmyG10 He was good

Thought Boscalgi was good today, or is it just me? Pinged some beautiful passes but Dan Ballard dealt with it pretty well. #BHAFC

@MikeKing14_ Epic milker of free kicks too ✌️

150 Premier League appearances for Joël Veltman! What an unbelievable player he has been for Brighton over the last 5 years. Hardly ever puts a foot wrong and always gives his best. He’s undoubtedly one of our best PL era signings. Let’s hope for many more! #BHAFC

TEAM NEWS! 🚨 Our starting XI to face @LFC. 👊

I do not like the term “empowerment”. “Empowerment” is everywhere in the world of change leadership. It’s in the top three of the most commonly used leadership terms globally according to @DigitalDefynd. Personally, I never use “empowerment” unless I’m working with someone who is doing so already. When organisations or leaders seek to "empower" people, it's often them choosing what's best or how much control others can have. This puts the person or group doing the empowering above everyone else & doesn't really give true freedom to those on the receiving end. Empowerment suggests that power is something that “we” give to “them,” reinforcing the status of the “giver” & (often unintentionally) making others feel weak or dependent, which is the opposite of what empowerment is supposed to do. “Agency” is a better principle than “empowerment”. It means recognising people's innate ability to contribute & lead rather than relying on managers to bestow permission. People with agency decide what to do, take action & shape what happens. It’s their own drive & ability, not because someone else says they can. Agency makes people active collaborators in change & leads to better, more sustainable change outcomes. As leaders, we can give people empowerment, by granting permission or sharing authority. We cannot give people agency: people have to build it for themselves through practice, experience & reflection. But leaders can create a climate for agency to thrive through encouragement, resources & space. Being “agentic” means acting with or displaying agency. This term has become popular recently because of the development of “agentic AI” – AI systems that can act autonomously & make decisions, rather than just react to commands, prompts or rules. We don’t just need agentic AI; we need agentic people too. “Agentic” is beyond “empowered”; it means shifting from a top-down model of control to one that trusts & supports people to make their own choices, solve problems & shape their own work. This shift requires us to let go of rigid structures, foster open dialogue & design systems that enable autonomy & collective discovery. When teams operate with agency, they become active collaborators, driving innovation & resilience in the face of uncertainty. The future belongs to leaders who encourage agency - rather than empowerment - where people don’t wait for permission, but act with purpose & ownership. “Designing for agency: how leaders move past empowerment”: agileleadershipjourney.com/blog/designing….

@HelenBevan @DigitalDefynd Nice

@teacherhead 💯

For sure one day in the future teachers, leaders, politicians, historians will look back in amazement that the whole bollocks of high stakes inspection lasted so long. ‘What were we thinking?’

@theipaper Because teacher’s have so much spare capacity. Clueless. 🥱

Teachers, not councils, will take a greater role in assessing children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), the Education Secretary has revealed in an interview with The i Paper ➡️ Read more: trib.al/lQ9b8BR

@OfficialBHAFC @British_Airways Wasn’t at the game yesterday but Ayari is turning into a very good player imo

Three points secured. ✊ Who was your @British_Airways POTM? 🤔

@AdamMGrant Fuck yeah

Cursing is rarely a symbol of low class. It's often a mark of high authenticity. Evidence: Swearing predicts higher rates of honesty and integrity. It signals a willingness to prize candor over courtesy. A little profanity shows that you're being real and you do give a damn.

@DonaldPond6 Maybe the USA has run its course?

I love the #rydercup but also wonder whether it’s run its course. The US crowd seem to fundamentally not understand that sport is about seeking and appreciating excellence, not shouting abuse. Sport should unite, but the Ryder Cup has become uniquely divisive, which isn’t right.

@MerrynSW 🤮

Everything infantilised. So irritating.

@ChrisB_IG No shit 💩

They weren't exactly flush with cash to begin with. BBC News - Public toilets a drain on Whitby Town Council's income - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@TheSecretAcct They really do SA, they are remarkable places for doing this on top of the academic stuff. Both matter. Emotional intelligence, life skills and critical thinking - schools are flat out trying to do both. Well, great teachers are doing that 🤟

I think everyone agrees that schools need to teach soft skills, how to build relationships and networks, basic financial skills, healthy living Given the Internet and AI we need far less emphasis on learning facts and more focus on interpretation, analysis and decision-making.

@MerrynSW Can’t even rally back to 5170 at the moment

You can't rally back to where you were before blanket 10% and the definitive end of Chimerica. That would be silly.

@chrismorgan1980 Sorry to see that news Chris. A good man no doubt. Best wishes, Kev

@DrBradJohnson Yep

Effective teachers don't focus so much on rules, but more on relationships, routines, & expectations. If you focus mainly on rules, you will spend most of the year enforcing them. But if you focus on relationships, routines, & expectations, you rarely have to defer back to rules.

@tes @JohnPeterJerrim Beauty is in the eye of the beholder 😁

@John_Stepek 🙌

One other point on Waspi - if politicians grew the spine required to simplify the tax system and merged NI and income tax, people wouldn't be under the false yet entirely understandable impression that they've "paid in" all their lives and are thus being robbed in some way.

@OfficialBHAFC @SouthamptonFC Attacking 😀
