What Leaders Get Wrong About Responsibility 02 - Episode 190

The Royal College of Psychiatrists’ coat of arms – featuring the serpent-entwined Staff of Asclepius, the Greek God of medicine and healing – also bears the College motto, ‘Let Wisdom Guide’.

Wisdom is often personified as a female figure – Sophia (Greek) or Hokmah (Hebrew) – a figure that is the source of practical knowledge and a moral compass, emphasising ethical conduct and thoughtful living.

And indeed it is wisdom we need to understand the complexities of life – particularly when it intersects with mental illness, as it often does in psychiatry.

Our new series of podcasts, Big Questions in Psychiatry, explores the complex and sometimes messy issues shaping psychiatry. With the help of world experts in the field and utilising a grounding panel of patients, carers, clinicians, learners and service managers, we ask about:

- the philosophical notion of responsibility and its relation to blame in mental illness
phenomenology in psychiatry 
– how do we, either as patients or as clinicians, know what is real and what is not, for example when dealing with hallucinations
- the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in psychiatry – is AI friend or foe?

BUCKETS & LADDERS

The candidate says he can save us.

But no—
he couldn’t even if he tried.  
As the wise one once said:

You are the only one 
who can lower your bucket
down into the well.
You are the only one
who can climb your ladder.

When the candidate proclaims:
“I’m so tall, I’m so deep!”
he sounds so short, so shallow.
Yet many believe that snake-oil salesman 
because they’re searching for hope.

Well, I’ve found hope in another belief 
because I see 
it slowly becoming a reality:

Tired of being less than we actually are
we will reclaim our power
by rejecting our idols 
and lowering our buckets down
deep into the moon in the well
while climbing up our ladders—
climbing, trying to reach the sun.


buckets and ladders

“Not My Fault”…Blame, Justify, or take responsibility? Even if you didn’t do it, who is going to fix it, replace it, or take responsibility if you don’t? Could leadership simply mean taking responsibility and fixing it- regardless of who did it?

“Not My Fault”…Blame, Justify or take responsibility

I could write about my heartbreak, tears on my pillow
Another three-hour album 'bout some guy from Primrose or Soho
Thirty-one songs about who did me wrong
But there's trans kids fighting just to belong

[Pre-Chorus:]
I've got a platform, got a stadium crowd
Could whisper softly or could sing it loud
There's a picket line outside while I'm on stage
Maybe it's time to read a different page

[Chorus:]
This could've been a protest song!
Could've been about what's right and wrong
Not just red flags and who I kissed
Could've talked about the people on the street you missed
While you were writing 'bout your situationship
The world needed more than your relationship
This could've been a protest song!
Guess we'll never know what that sounds like from the strong

[Verse 2:]
You've got a hundred million people listening close
Writing poetry about the one that hurt you most
And there's workers on strike, there's kids going hungry
But track five is crying 'bout some dude from the country

[Pre-Chorus:]
You can rhyme "organize" just as easy as "eyes"
"Solidarity" fits where "butterfly" applies
You're brilliant with words, you're talented and smart
So where's the song about the woman losing her apartment?

[Chorus:]
Even bigger, more defiant
This could've been a protest song!
Could've been about what's right and wrong
Not just shade and who's to blame
Could've used your voice for more than playing games
While you were writing bridge number forty-five
People needed help just trying to survive
This could've been a protest song!
But you were busy being wronged

[Bridge]
I'm not saying don't write about your pain
I'm not saying every track needs a refrain
About revolution, but baby, please
In four years you wrote fifty songs
About the same three guys who did you wrong
Zero about the rent that's climbed
Zero about whose rights are on the line
You could've written one
Just one

This could've been a protest song!
Could've been about what's right and wrong
Could've talked about the nurses' strike
The kids who can't afford a bike
The trans girl scared to use the loo
The mothers working three jobs for just one of you
This could've been a protest song!
Could've shown them how to sing along
To something real, to something true
Could've changed the world
But you chose you

[Outro:]
Could've been a protest song...
Could've been a protest song...
Guess we'll never know
What that sounds like from the throne

Your Tears, Not Mine

Simon concludes this series looking at how we carry the ‘weight’ of the gospel together and how we share it responsibly with others.

Pass It On - Responsibility

Our guest speaker Rusty Hedger continues our series in Luke 19 with the Parable of the Ten Minas. Jesus is going to come back one day and he's going to ask what did you do with what I gave you?

Investing In The Kingdom

Beyond the rightness or wrongness of things there is a field, I'll meet you there
Rumi
 
Many of us carry the heavy weight of blame - pointing fingers at others, ourselves, or even life itself. And sometimes, we're burdened by guilt for things completely out of our control. This talk explores an important question: how can we release the need for judgment and assigning fault, while still remaining fully accountable for our actions and our lives? 
 
Join us to discover how letting go of blame can lighten the load of the past and help us to create a positive future.

No-one is to Blame - Marcelo Bulk  - Thursday 25th September 2025


(Verse 1)
Seven years old, the memory's still clear
The day that my father just disappeared
Left with my mother, and two sisters young
A little boy's life had to come undone
Had to be the pillar, grow up way too fast
Carrying their hopes, making dreams last
Though I was afraid... I had to push on through.
​(Verse 2)
At nineteen, found love, started on my way
Began a new life, learned what "we" had to say
Twenty-three years old, I heard a baby's cry
A new world opened, but my heart still flew high
Still chasing the nightlife, still young and still free
But never forgot my responsibility
Knew my foundation... the family I had.
​(Chorus)
I'm only just learning that life isn't easy
It's a constant struggle, a world that won't appease me
Fighting one another just to find some ground
Fighting every day 'til I'm worn and run down
But when I look back... this world, that's all it is.
What more do you want? What more can it give?
When in the end, we all just have to leave it all behind.
​(Verse 3)
The years kept on rolling, two more gifts were sent
Two younger daughters, my fatherhood was meant
The burden got heavier, shoulders felt the strain
Had to make the money, keep them out of the rain
The more that I fought, the more I saw the truth
We're all in this rat race, wasting our youth
Trapped in the cycle, just trying to survive.
​(Chorus)
I'm only just learning that life isn't easy
It's a constant struggle, a world that won't appease me
Fighting one another just to find some ground
Fighting every day 'til I'm worn and run down
But when I look back... this world, that's all it is.
What more do you want? What more can it give?
When in the end, we all just have to leave it all behind.
​(Bridge)
What are we all chasing? Is it fortune or fame?
In the end, we're just stalling, playing a temporary game
Maybe real happiness isn't in the things we've won
It's not about "having"... it's the "understanding" when it's done.
​(Chorus / Outro)
I'm only just learning that life isn't easy (It's never easy)
It's a constant struggle, a world that won't appease me (We fight and we fight)
Fighting one another just to find some ground
Fighting every day 'til I'm worn and run down
But when I look back... this world, that's all it is.
What more can you take from it?
Just to love, and just to be... maybe that's enough for me.
...That's all it is, really.

That's All It Is (A Man's World)_2

The Best is Yet to Come

A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 

Piers Morgan welcomes the return of a common-sense world 

 They claimed it was a movement that would change society forever. Instead, it's been buried six feet under by common sense.

For a decade, “woke” infected every corner of our lives. Cancel culture ran riot. Men became toxic. Virtue signalling was everywhere. And if you dared disagree? You'd be terminated on the spot.

But then something extraordinary happened. All over the world, people woke up.

In this explosive and uproarious takedown, Piers Morgan charts the spectacular collapse of the most ridiculous ideology in human history. With his trademark wit and fearless honesty, he exposes the hypocrites, destroys the myths, and celebrates the heroes who refused to surrender to the woke brigade.

Inside, Morgan takes aim at the madness wherever it's hiding and calls out the absurdity with humour, logic, and outrage. He pulls no punches as he tackles:

• Hollywood hypocrisy – when celebrity virtue-signaling became it's own performance
• Environ-mentalists – how saving the planet turned into shouting about plastic straws
• Go Woke, Go Broke – from brand deals to the price of moral posturing
• Word Police – the battle over language and what you can and can't say
• And much more 

But this isn't just about pointing and laughing at the wreckage. With his unique blend of savage humour and surprising wisdom, Morgan offers a roadmap for navigating our post-woke world and a less divided, more sensible society.

Woke is Dead is the provocative, hilarious and essential read for anyone who wants to understand how an entire civilisation briefly lost its mind.

Lacking any true musical ability, I try to make music with language, while also making meaning.
