Cheeky Half Episode (19): Gender Pay Gaps and Leadership Responsibility

March 09, 2024 23:00 - 17 minutes - 12.4 MB

For this Cheeky Half Paul & KG riff on the latest report by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, the "Employer Gender Pay Gaps Snapshot." It is both, a compelling and somewhat unsettling look at Australia's progress in reaching gender pay equity. The many interesting pieces of data lead them to ask a couple of simple questions: "What conversations are people in leadership positions actually having about the existing gender pay gap? And is it that difficult a problem to solve?" It will not ...

(4.01) Leadership and First Nations - staying in the conversation.

February 24, 2024 23:00 - 1 hour - 42.4 MB

KG & Paul have always held the position that healthy, productive, and even impactful, leadership practice is one that stays with the difficult conversations - even when these conversations are likely to reveal the most inscrutable, even darker, sides of our own natures. These aren't always comfortable conversations, but they can nevertheless carry a sense of hope and desire for authentic dialogue, mutual understanding and a genuine acknowledgement of the dignity inherent in all of our humani...

Bonus Cheeky Half Episode (18): To the wine cave, Robin!!

February 10, 2024 23:00 - 35 minutes - 24.4 MB

In this Special Bonus episode (think of it as a Cheeky three-quarters!), Paul & KG start Season 4 by visiting our sponsor's 'wine cave'. Sitting down with Chris Loth, the owner of Annadale Cellars, and a generous friend of the show, they spend a brief time hearing about Chris' passion for wine, his inspiration and his approach to how he makes his wonderful CLO wines.  And, of course, he cracks open a wine he is very proud of, the 2022 CLO Orange Chardonnay (that's Orange, as in the wine reg...

(3.10) Our favourite leadership conversations of 2023!

December 04, 2023 18:00 - 35 minutes - 24.5 MB

Paul & KG reflect on the year that was - 2023. We love talking about leadership over some lovely wine. It's how it all started in 2021, and how it continues. It's even more exciting to us when we get to share that wine with some very special people as we broaden our discussions and listen to their stories, their experiences and their wisdom. We really love our guests. Join our hosts as they re-live some of the joy and wonder they've experienced through these conversations. And of course, we...

Cheeky Half Episode (17): Leadership's role in our 'Social Cohesion'

November 25, 2023 23:00 - 17 minutes - 12.2 MB

In this Cheeky Half episode, Paul & KG discuss a very recent report published by the Scanlon institute in Australia, the Mapping Social Cohesion report. It's a fascinating social research project that seeks to assess the state of our 'social cohesion' at a given point (the report is published annually). It looks at categories such as our sense of belonging, acceptance, justice, financial health, amongst many other indicators. KG & Paul were curious about whether an understanding or at leas...

(3.09) Leadership and the anthropology of culture.

October 28, 2023 23:00 - 53 minutes - 36.8 MB

What does a hot cup of tea have to do with our understanding of culture in the organisations where we work? Join Paul & KG as they touch on this surprising 'phenomenon' with their special guest, Michael Henderson. Michael is a Corporate Anthropologist (yep, it's a real thing!) with a clear and sharp take on what makes culture in our organisations, and what leaders should be paying attention to. And of course, our generous sponsor Annadale Cellars continues to support our little project wi...

Cheeky Half Episode (16): 'Courageous' conversations are just conversations, right?

October 08, 2023 00:00 - 15 minutes - 10.9 MB

In this Cheeky Half episode, Paul & KG talk about the idea of 'Courageous Conversations'. Why is 'courage' needed in these scenarios? Aren't they simply just conversations that happen to touch on difficult topics? Why then the need for 'courage'? Is there real danger where some form of bravery is required? Or does this term say more about our fears of conflict, or our potential lack of skills or tolerance for navigating the 'heat' of discomfort? Hope you can spend some time with us. We'd lo...

(3.08) Leadership begins with Charity.

September 24, 2023 00:00 - 46 minutes - 31.7 MB

KG & Paul often refer to leadership practice as being contextual. No one size, style or framework fits all. And despite their many years of combined leadership practice, they have barely experienced the sheer diversity of contexts where leaders 'play'. And so they invited Nicole Schleicher, General Manager of Services and Impact at redkite, for a leadership chat over a glass of wine. redkite is a donor funded charity providing services and support to families who have a child with cancer. Th...

Cheeky Half Episode (15): Diplomacy, lies and leadership.

September 10, 2023 00:00 - 8 minutes - 5.93 MB

Have you ever found yourself in a position where a confidential or sensitive message you need to convey somehow morphs into a set of well-meaning lies? We confess, we have. And sometimes, despite our best intentions, we just haven't worked out how to navigate that slippery slope. Paul & KG talk about some of these moments, not always something to be proud of, but nevertheless a common leadership experience. We are keen to hear from you. How do you handle conversations where the lines betwee...

(3.07) Leadership and First Nations

August 27, 2023 12:00 - 49 minutes - 34.1 MB

KG & Paul love their regular conversations on leadership over a glass of wine. That's no secret. But it's easy to forget that these conversations provide only a small, even infinitesimal, slice of what leadership is and could be. They'd be the first to admit they don't have a monopoly on leadership practice, nor its definition. It is for this reason KG & Paul thought it a timely opportunity to invite guests who identify with a different experience of leadership, and who work with First Nat...

Cheeky Half Episode (14): Leading through Grief.

August 13, 2023 00:00 - 11 minutes - 7.67 MB

Life can sometimes beat us around, and it doesn't care who you are or what responsibilities you hold in an organisation. And yet, if you do hold a position where you have responsibility over others, and a deeply emotional crisis hits you and the team, then you may be at risk of neglecting your own feelings of emotional and psychological exhaustion, simply because you are exercising your duty of care. Understandable, but dangerous. Join Paul & KG as they gently step into that space when Paul...

(3.06) Leadership in the heat of battle.

July 30, 2023 03:00 - 44 minutes - 30.6 MB

"Two sporting teams, both alike in dignity, In fair London, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean." (with sincere apologies to Mr Shakespeare...) What leadership object lessons can we take from a recent sporting controversy. Where two teams, two captains, face what seems to be the same event, but opposing narratives provide us with as glimpse of how complex leadership in the heat of battle can be like. You may not know, ...

Cheeky Half Episode (13): Leadership and the subtle art of influencing.

July 09, 2023 00:00 - 10 minutes - 7.45 MB

Is influence an essential trait for effective leadership? Join Paul & KG as they explore different notions of influence. Is it persuasion? Is it manipulation? How about the art of telling compelling stories, advocating for others, and leading by example? Join the conversation and tell us what you think influence to be, and how it might work in practice. Join us and please, share your thoughts! Sláinte! We'd love to hear what you thought of this conversation. Is this a topic worth pursu...

(3.05) This feels awkward... Leading through discomfort.

June 25, 2023 00:00 - 32 minutes - 22.1 MB

In leadership roles, we often face uncomfortable conversations and encounters. When experiencing these unsettling situations, we have a few options. These include enduring the discomfort and navigating through the storm until we find stability, or prematurely ending the conversation, ignoring the tension. One approach fosters growth and connection, the other doesn't. Join KG & Paul as they wrestle with the 'return of the repressed', 'inspired' by the recent and unexpected visit from an inf...

Cheeky Half Episode (12): Leader, Heal Thyself!!

June 11, 2023 00:00 - 12 minutes - 8.81 MB

The term 'Self Care' has become a common one. However, the practice itself, as it pertains to those in leadership positions, seems to be as scarce or as ad hoc as ever. Why should we care about 'Self Care', and what difference would it even make to how we lead? Join Paul & KG as they discuss their own challenges around 'Self Care', and how they try and address a stubbornly elusive desire. Join us and please, share your thoughts! Sláinte! We'd love to hear what you thought of this conver...

(3.04) Learning from our leadership failures.

May 28, 2023 00:00 - 46 minutes - 31.8 MB

Celebrating our leadership successes should be a joyful and necessary practice. However, if we are not attentive to our leadership shortcomings, especially our failures, then we are condemned to repeat the same mistakes. Join KG & Paul as they chat with Ed Vaughn, from Generation Leadership, about his fascination with leadership failure and, amongst many insightful moments, the podcast he created to explore the nature of our leadership failures and how we might grow from them. Today, the co...

Cheeky Half Episode (11): Leadership & the Tyranny of Time

May 14, 2023 00:00 - 12 minutes - 8.6 MB

It's not unusual for any of us to feel under the pump, where there just aren't enough hours in the day to get done what needs to get done. It is a perennial challenge that often ends with us spinning our wheels, emotionally throwing our hands in the air and giving in to the situation, as if there were no other option. If you identify with this response, then Paul is worried about you. And for himself. Join Paul & KG as they wrestle with this very common challenge. They focus on a critical q...

(3.03) So what do you do? Working with leaders & their teams.

April 30, 2023 00:00 - 27 minutes - 19.3 MB

On this episode, KG sneakily turned the spotlight on Paul. What exactly does Paul do? All this talk of leadership and team development, surely we shouldn't just assume he knows what he's talking about, right? Check out this conversation if you are at all interested in his take on working with leaders and their teams. And, as usual, the conversation is fuelled by an amazing 2001 Wynns Coonawarra Estate, Cabernet Sauvignon. Spesh! Please join us, we'd love your company. Sláinte friends! We...

Cheeky Half Episode (10): Leadership as a Popularity Contest

April 09, 2023 00:00 - 11 minutes - 8.04 MB

Leadership can sometimes feel like a cross between a talent show, where your leadership capabilities are always being judged, and a high-stakes survival show, where you constantly have to choose between the preservation of your own career and the development of the careers of others. How to choose!!?? Join Paul & KG as they think out loud about how sometimes, popularity seems like the only metric, but how it might also reveal a few more intriguing insights about the way someone's leadership...

(3.02) Leadership 'in the wild' (or, running with the 'Banshees'...)

March 26, 2023 01:00 - 1 hour - 41.8 MB

Apparently, there are some things about leadership that make Paul want to squirm and run into the woods, shrieking like a Banshee. On this occasion he was disturbed and triggered by our special guest, Marcus Crow, co-founder of 10,000 Hours and a deeply experienced facilitator who works with leaders across many industries and sectors. Join us for a wide-ranging conversation that takes us deep into the challenges of leadership in our current world. On this special occasion, the conversation...

Cheeky Half Episode (9): Leadership & the Voices that speak it

March 11, 2023 22:00 - 9 minutes - 6.55 MB

Anyone with any interest in the Australian context will know 2023 is going to be a significant year for many of our leaders holding public office. This is the year a national referendum is put to the population about enshrining a voice of our Indigenous People into the constitution.  But not just those in the public domain who have a role to play. Anyone with even the smallest amount of leadership responsibility can help guide the conversation.  Everyone doesn't have to agree, but we can ta...

(3.01) Reframing Leadership: Changing direction.

February 25, 2023 23:00 - 29 minutes - 20.4 MB

As a new season of Leadership Decanted kicks off, Paul & KG discuss what it might take to refresh and reframe their leadership practices, as they are very mindful that all of those qualities, practices, behaviours and energy that got you here, may not necessarily get you to where you want to go next! There's also a tortured metaphor about sailing somewhere in this conversation... And of course, there is wine. Thanks to our friend Dan, Paul and KG share a juicy 2020 Torbreck, 'The Struie...

We're back! Guess who's back!

February 19, 2023 23:00 - 1 minute - 1.08 MB

Our 2023 Leadership Decanted teaser! KG & Paul are looking forward to sharing ideas, thoughts, conversation - and some very good wine - as we continue to explore the vast leadership landscape. We'd love to share all this with you too!! Do you have a question? Would you like to suggest a topic of conversation? Please reach out on [email protected] or visit us at www.leadershipdecanted.com. Sláinte friends!

(2.11) You must remember this: Leadership in 2022, our reflections and reminiscences

December 05, 2022 18:00 - 36 minutes - 25.4 MB

It's that time in our lives when we look back, doe-eyed and in soft focus, to a magical year... Hmm, maybe not. Despite our penchant for a nice glass (or two) of wine during our Leadership Decanted conversations, we manage to take a sober look at how we think leadership may have played out over the past year. Join Paul and KG as they reflect on 2022, and how they make sense of it in terms of their work in the Leadership 'space'. If we may say so ourselves (and we're doing it right now!), we...

Cheeky Half Episode (8): Leadership, why would you?!?

November 19, 2022 23:00 - 14 minutes - 10.4 MB

Thanks to a listener question, KG & Paul are reminded of their leadership 'scars' as they contemplate the question of why anyone would want to lead at all! Is it purpose, is it force of personality or is it sheer bloody-mindedness, amongst the many options? Maybe a little from each column. Shout out to Damien for your reflection that lead to this little Cheeky Half! Sláinte! We'd love to hear what you thought of this conversation. Is this a topic worth pursuing in one of our longer mont...

(2.10) Vanilla Leadership: Not as bland as you might think

November 06, 2022 11:00 - 27 minutes - 19 MB

Vanilla has had a bad rap over the years. Often associated with blandness and things vaguely unremarkable, to be called 'Vanilla' can be experienced as a back-handed compliment at best, and a dismissal at worst. However, KG & Paul beg to differ. Over an impeccable bottle of 2004 Buller & Sons [now Buller Wines] Calliope Shiraz, they discuss the oft-derided word and dive a little deeper into one of the chapters in KG's recent book, 10 Leading Tools. In fact, this particular chapter whole-hea...

Cheeky Half Episode (7): How much do we trust our leaders?

October 16, 2022 00:00 - 12 minutes - 8.78 MB

As it turns out, not a huge amount. Paul & KG visit the website of the Australian Leadership Index. Driven by Swinburne University of Technology, the index "provides a way to measure how people view the performance of leaders and their institutions, when it comes to their overall leadership, and its drivers." This Cheeky Half conversation merely scratches at the surface of what this index has to offer in the public discussion of leadership, but it's an exciting preamble to a future episode,...

(2.9) What We Leave Behind: The Legacy of Leadership

September 25, 2022 00:00 - 34 minutes - 23.7 MB

The death of Queen Elizabeth II has generated more commentary, analysis and nostalgic introspection in the last few weeks than we can ever remember. Despite the overwhelming avalanche of words, Paul & KG still felt they could add their small drop in this vast ocean by turning their attention to the idea of 'legacy'. What is it and, more importantly for us, what is a legacy anyway in the aftermath of a life (or career) of leadership? A goal, an aspiration, an outcome? Over a delectable bottl...

Cheeky Half Episode (6): Leadership in support of Gender Affirmation

September 11, 2022 00:00 - 9 minutes - 6.74 MB

Questions of gender identity are becoming more commonplace in public discourse, but not everyone in leadership has necessarily grappled with all the complexities wrapped around those conversations. Paul and KG are no exception. Nevertheless, in this Cheeky Half episode they talk about how leaders might broach discussions and interactions with those who might be inquiring about and exploring their own gender identity. We'd love to hear what you thought of this conversation. Is this a topic w...

(2.8) Quantum Leadership: A leap in leadership development

August 28, 2022 07:00 - 56 minutes - 38.6 MB

Leadership development takes time. Sometimes it's a painstaking process where the results couldn't come fast enough, teasing us with the smallest of incremental results. But what if you could find a way to short-circuit that protracted process and see results sooner? And what if it wasn't just about improved speed? What if you could also unlock a number of leadership skills simultaneously, rather than rely on the more traditional linear approaches to development? Would that be something wort...

Cheeky Half Episode (5): Is it over yet? The persistent leadership challenges in the face of a Covid resurgence.

August 14, 2022 00:00 - 12 minutes - 8.42 MB

We want to stop talking about Covid. We really do. But it seems this pesky virus isn't done with us just yet. In this instalment of our Cheeky Half episodes, KG and Paul talk about how the persistence of Covid has shaped leadership responses, especially as many organisations are now negotiating with their people to return to their respective offices - even if for only a portion of their working week. How do leaders respond to this ongoing crisis, especially when we all hoped it had all gone...

(2.10) Leadership Recanted: When leaders go back on their word

July 31, 2022 00:00 - 33 minutes - 23 MB

Leadership is a tough gig at the best of times. And sometimes it's even harder than that! This is especially true when, having delivered a message to our teams or colleagues, we find ourselves having to rescind, and maybe even replacing it with a contradictory message. What's it like when you have to 'recant' a previous message? How can leaders maintain trust when sometimes their best laid plans are scuttled and are then seen to go back on their word?  KG & Paul discuss their own experienc...

Cheeky Half Episode (4): Getting a good handle on your leadership style

July 17, 2022 00:00 - 11 minutes - 7.64 MB

When it comes to understanding the impact and effectiveness of our leadership style, there's a fine line between confidence and delusion. In this instalment of our Cheeky Half episodes, KG and Paul discuss ways of getting a better handle on both, your leadership style and its effectiveness in your context, whatever that might be. To that end, we take a brief look into the role 360 degree feedback tools can play in bridging that potential delusional divide, as well as  how they might provide...

(2.9) Leadership: A journey worth writing about

June 26, 2022 00:00 - 38 minutes - 26.3 MB

What does it take to write a book about one's Leadership journey and some of the tools that helped you along the way? Furthermore, how can you make those experiences and expertise resonate for a broader audience? We're glad you asked! Whilst in the grip of a delectable Tyrrell's 2006, Vat 1 Semillon, Paul unpacks KG's own literary journey in writing "10 Leading Tools". As always, the conversation is fun and very insightful. Perhaps, if we may be so bold, even inspirational! Sláinte! We'd l...

Cheeky Half Episode (3): Leading when you just don't feel like it...

June 13, 2022 20:00 - 10 minutes - 7.35 MB

As practicing leaders, sometimes it's a struggle to simply get out of bed, let alone contemplate the day ahead, with all the pressures leadership might bear down on us.   In this 'Cheeky Half' conversation Paul & KG explore some possible reasons why we might feel this way every now and again (or sometimes on quite a regular basis). How might we approach such feelings and what could we do to ensure these occasions don't get the better of us? Also, KG wrote a book!   We'd love to hear what yo...

(2.5) Women Leading, beyond the gender 'divide'...

May 29, 2022 00:00 - 43 minutes - 29.9 MB

*(Formerly titled, "Leadership has no gender...") In this episode Paul & KG are excited to have Reyna Matthes as our conversational guest. Reyna is a Founding Director of Executive Central. But above all else, she is deeply passionate about building leadership capability for women. During the discussion, however, it becomes very clear that Reyna's passion for enabling better leaders extends way beyond gender, making the themes of our conversation much broader.

Cheeky Half Episode (2): Managers vs Leaders. Does this debate prove anything?

May 15, 2022 00:00 - 7 minutes - 5.36 MB

We've all heard it before: the 'great' managers versus leaders debate.    In this 'Cheeky Half' conversation Paul & KG try to dismantle the stubbornly persistent myths around what they consider to be a highly unproductive approach to thinking about management and leadership practices. And Paul gets rather worked up!    We'd love to hear what you thought of this conversation.

(2.7) Leadership: The Next Generation

May 01, 2022 01:00 - 50 minutes - 34.9 MB

Two middle aged guys harping on about leadership may be interesting to some, but clearly that is never going to be enough. If Leadership Practice is in any way forward looking, surely we need to look to those who are nipping at our heels. What do today's youth think of Leadership? What do they expect of those who claim to lead? And how do they aspire to practice leadership that speaks to their generation and beyond?

Sometimes a month between Leadership Decanted episodes feels like a long time between drinks, doesn't it?! To ease the anxiety KG & Paul will regularly be sharing some of their unfinished thoughts and ideas. Think of them as incomplete thought bubbles. By doing so we want to give our listeners a sense of how we process our ideas and how we come to choose our topics and guests. But more importantly, we want to give you a more direct way of guiding us to the topics that might interest you the...

This month's episode is a little different. Join Paul and KG as they are taken on a quest to the realms of Deep Listening. In this first leg of a two leg journey we set the scene by understanding a few broad principles and getting to the bottom of why deep listening is not just a courtesy, but a critical component of meaningful leadership practice.
