4) I learned of the concept "don't be a hero". If the work only can be done by doing weekends/late nights, the system is flawed. If you do it, then you are hiding the underlying flaws, which will not fix the problem. Sticking to a reasonable working load is key. 6/n

How privileged are you? How does this affect your expectations towards colleagues? Can you really compensate being discriminated against by striving for ever more excellence and perfection? ...and at what cost?

The world of think tanks, NGOs, and international organizations is full of dedication, knowledge, and ideas. But it often lacks diversity and professional management. We believe that it can be better @substack: tslb.substack.com/

Worth reading on the role of grants from governments or philanthrophy by @AnnaMeierPS. Found similar evidence for the think tank sector in a recent study. cc: @PradnyaBivalkar @SVoutta @santiagocuervoe @betterttank @ThinkTank_Lab annameier.substack.com/p/gra…

And a guide for diversity officers by @andre_weisser @YuerekliAyse @BarbaraPongratz. If you want to join #teamDiversity - a community of practice to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in think tanks, write to @andre_weisser & see here: dgap.org/en/research/program…

A lot of these are great. But some have "inequality" deeply embedded in them. Ideas for correction:

If you, as a conference organizer, put a (younger) woman next to an (older) man for a discussion, you have to make sure that the moderator gives both of them equal speaking time and the same opportunities to answer.1/2

So much grief and trauma on here following the horrific #TexasSchoolMassacre. People don’t know how to function normally, how to work. This is a time for organisations to step up and provide support for their employees’ #mentalhealth. Thread on how to do so 1/x
