What’s Politics Got to Do With LinkedIn?

In one word? ‘Governance.’

Good Governance (and its opposite) now impacts all of our daily lives more than ever. That’s why it’s a crucial topic for #LinkedInEditors and #LinkedIn itself. Corona and Brexit are just some of the topics I use to instance Good Governance (and its opposite) in the following 150+ short (1000 character long) posts about Governance in our culture today.

60%+ of virus ?? infections in Ireland come from a mutation first detected in Kent (England). Wherever we live, there’s spillover from how other places are being governed. We’re all connected.

These pithy posts tell the story from three years ago to the present day of how the early warning signals for the kind of Good Governance catastrophe the UK is currently undergoing were all in place long before Corona struck our civilisation.

All organisations from the micro (family) level up to the geo-political, civilisational level require Good Governance. Good Governance in my collected posts below includes the following principles which all decisions and decision-making processes should be proofed against for their adherence to: Transparency; Inclusiveness; Foresight; Good Faith; Public Participation; Oversight; Accountability; and Error Recognition, Acknowledgement & Correction.

Having worked for four political parties in three jurisdictions and a number of diplomatic missions, I’m particularly interested in the intersection of governance and the security we need to live happy, fulfilled and healthy lives. My expertise in Good Governance is grounded in my degrees in Political Philosophy from Dublin University, Law from Cambridge University, Business Administration from Oxford University as well as my post-grad work in Intellectual History at Georgetown University. So far this sample of my work posted below has been viewed over One Million times. I’m always happy to chat if you’re interested in Good Governance, so please get in touch ????.
