Wrigley's Solicitors: Students' Unions - Part two: dealing with problems once they have arisen

Students’ unions have always been required to navigate contentious topics, from acting as referee in relation to student complaints to hosting debates and holding votes to set SU policy.  At Wrigleys, we’ve seen an increase in the complexity and sensitivity in the types of topics which students’ unions are having to engage with, set against an ever-changing legislative background, which places new demands on SU staff and officers.

The secret to systems leadership in Greater Manchester

14 Feb 2024 - 18:46 by omairia.bibi

I helped host and attended an event made for upcoming systems leaders in Greater Manchester. You might ask - ‘what and who is a systems leader?’. A systems leader is collaborative, part of a network of people in different places and at different levels,  with a shared purpose, co-operating to make significant change.  

 

So that means you and me and the person next to you in the line at a coffee shop on our shared purpose to get coffee before the 9 am rush... well, kind of! We just need to define a few things like shared purpose and collaborative bahaviours.
