Equitable culture needs improvement

Pros

Many committed, talented, thoughtful colleagues. A unique organisation and fellowship with great heritage and potential.

Cons

Value, visibility, progression and recognition are not always fully aligned with high performance, competence and commitment, and can be influenced by internal politics, dynamics and agendas. There can also be some disconnect between the organisation’s stated culture and the day-to-day practice, where well-intentioned constructive and creative challenge is encouraged but then not always well received and even penalised. Trust and safety remain fragile as a result.

Nice building, paintings, coffeehouse and library.

Everything else. Lurches from crisis to crisis. Zero strategy and impact. Ongoing toxic culture.
