Enjoyed this piece by Harriet Sherwood. She’s one of the friendliest & brightest Foreign Editors I’ve worked with, this is a really candid insight into the day to day tensions of how to start your day, when to sit tight on phones and when to chase and what social media to engage with.  I have just come out of the Oxfam world of pretty much 7 hours of back to back meetings to a much smaller organisation where I now manage small handful of staff and my own time. It’s such a refreshing shift in responsibility and makes you realise how the culture of meetings & internal conversations that can prevent getting more interesting things done.
