MSCHF & @LilNasX have figured out how to make creating outrage an art form. Smart use of #tensions.
Great to talk to @AHABDiggins about our research on cultural organisations.

The #SuperLeague has faltered. Now, time for the bigger questions: Is professional football about #football, #fans, or #finance? Or all three?

Rather than addressing #tensions with media organisations, Mark Zuckerberg is trying to move them to users.
But media organizations and @Facebook need each other. Both have every incentive to work together.

Boycotted once more, this time by @chiefrabbi.
@Facebook's #hatespeech problem is not going away - until Zuckerberg finds a consistent, principled & #authentic way of dealing with it. My interview w/@ScottMcGrew of @nbcbayarea. @michael_smets @OxfordSBS

How is Mark Zuckerberg's leading @Facebook through pairs of "nested tensions"? Our #research on #leadership suggests that doing right may well pay off. We're quoted in the @guardian. @michael_smets @SBSInsights @Oxford_Answers @OxfordSBS @paradox_bothand

What are #museums without their audiences?
As our research shows, with #COVID19 cultural #leaders are faced with the #3Cs: Maintaining #commercial viability while fulfilling their #cultural mission, all while providing access to #communities. @nmdcnews

As #StopHateForProfit gains traction, @Unilever, @CocaCola, @Verizon, @Starbucks & @Hersheys have all paused their advertising, increasing pressure on @Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg.
As our research shows, taking a genuinely principled can help #leaders deal with those #tensions.
@ChrisMoosPhD writes about corporate activism and the struggles of modern CEOs, balancing support of social justice and racial equality, and their personal lives during a global pandemic in this latest article from #OxfordAnswers. oxsbs.link/2NvDoXx

The struggle of the modern #CEO. What Mark Zuckerberg can learn from @jack & @alexisohanian. And @HusaynKassai? Based on our #research on

Leading through talk, gaze, the use of space, and artefacts: Fascinating insights from @HR_TIHR about how #leaders mix up informal and formal #leadership in #practice.
Leadership can occur through #gaze #space #talk #artefacts and #informal forms of communication. See this creative study which uses #videos to capture naturally occurring #communications at work!

Great panel discussion today with some passionate opinions. Students care about climate change, but also ask for evidence and present nuanced arguments. Welcome to #Oxford!
I love turning up to a panel discussion on #leadership and the four women on the couch are all my friends! #MBA #oxfordmba @sbsleaders #womenleaders @UniofOxford @OxfordSBS @SkollCentre @charmianlove @Gill_Benjamin @TanyaAritao
To add to this, @BorisJohnson is a man of his time. Like many #populist political leaders he is using displays of incompetence & character flaws to humanise himself and create the illusion of distance with the "elite" he remains part of. A new leadership style: the #wacky leader?
Something for the weekend: Musings by Tim Morris @OxfordSBS & myself on the #ToryLeadership race & its key contestants. Evaluating competence, character & credibility. Spoiler: not looking too good... @ConversationUK. #leadership #brexit ow.ly/EhBa50v5Qlv
Thanks @AOM_OMT for nominating our paper on 'From taking to making #paradox: A multi-level perspective on how #CEOs balance nested paradoxes' for the best paper award. Wonderful co-authors @michael_smets, @MossCowan, Andromachi Athanasopoulou & Tim Morris!

Business is not the 'enemy' of the arts. Our research shows that cultural leaders employ 'both/and' practices to raise synergies btw #culture, #commmerce & #community to transcend apparent contradictions. @michael_smets @PegramOxford @LVShaw sbs.ox.ac.uk/news/business-n…
How will museums evolve in the age of @instagram? Our @OxfordSBS research shows that museums have a lot in common w/ tech companies - they need to embrace the tensions btw the #3C - #culture, #commerce & #communities @michael_smets @LVShaw @friezeacademy glam.ox.ac.uk/article/the-mu…
Looking forward to the @FriezeArtFair Debate on Museums in the 21st Century. Our @OxfordSBS research shows that 21st century museums find #purpose by embracing the tensions at the intersections of the #3C - #culture, #commerce & #communities @michael_smets glam.ox.ac.uk/article/the-mu…
@Terrynotary Hi Terry, great performance in the Square! Can you follow back for a conversation about your work? Thanks!
