December 11, 2023 19:00 - 35 minutes - 24.5 MB

Getting to the end isn’t good enough. Whether it’s to the end of the year, the end of a restructure, or the end of a transformation project. It’s not about transactions and checklists.

Sacred Heart Mission CEO, Hang Vo on pacing your passion for stronger leadership

December 04, 2023 19:00 - 33 minutes - 23.3 MB

Being a passionate leader is an outdated goal. In fact, trying to run your team on passion alone is akin to running a team on adrenaline. It’s just not sustainable.

April 12, 2023 20:00 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MB

As a leader, you bring a load of experience to the role. When people are looking for answers to problems, you naturally come up with ten of them.

UN’s Sustainable Development Solutions Co-Chair, John Thwaites on timing those tricky and charged conversations

April 03, 2023 20:00 - 35 minutes - 24.2 MB

We’ve all heard the saying it’s all about timing, which eludes to waiting for the right time in the calendar or season. But what if it’s not about waiting. It’s about getting into the right mindset before you nosedive into those tricky and charged conversations. That’s what we spoke about with John Thwaites in this week’s Top Five Movement Leading Generous Teams podcast. John is a Co-Chair of the Leadership Council of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (“SDSN”) launched by t...

ACOSS CEO Dr Cass Goldie on why switching off doesn’t cut it

March 13, 2023 19:00 - 33 minutes - 23 MB

When leaders encourage their team to “switch off” they don’t always realise it can be demotivating and inaccessible. For many, the idea of switching off is actually daunting. Like a void of space and time that could be used to be making a difference.  Also, you’re not a lightbulb. You don’t have an on and off switch. It’s not that black and white. The best thing you can do is learn to go from “on” to “recharge.” This is what we discussed in the episode with Dr Cassandra Goldie, CEO of...

St Luke Health’s Barb Brown on how role clarity unlocks purpose

March 06, 2023 19:00 - 35 minutes - 24.3 MB

Role clarity. It seems so simple it’d be easy to miss. Of course there’s a job description when the contract is signed, but how do you use that as a tool to support mental fitness and wellbeing in your team? One of the most important ingredients for a successful team is when they know what their role is and how it fits into the purpose of the organisation. This is what we spoke about with Barb Brown, Executive Manager of People & Culture from St Lukes Health on the podcast this week. B...

Telstra’s Former Group Executive, Alex Badenoch on what vulnerability looks like practically, at the highest levels of leadership.

February 27, 2023 19:00 - 30 minutes - 20.7 MB

Leaders are often looked to as experts. But they’re not. The strongest leaders surround themselves with experts, which means, you don’t know the answer a lot of the time. When leaders feel like they should know, they miss the opportunity to invite their team to step into their strengths, rally around you, draw out their skills and talents to solve the problem in ways you couldn’t imagine. This is what vulnerability looks like practically, at the highest levels of leadership. This is what...

ACF’s CEO, Kelly O’Shanassy on why being a pushover won’t build collaborative teams

February 20, 2023 19:00 - 35 minutes - 24.4 MB

People think that a collaborative team is being a yes person, never disagreeing, and singing kumbaya in a circle.  But actually, leading a collaborative team takes some hard decisions. This is what we talked about with Kelly O’Shanassy, CEO of the Australian Conservation Foundation on our Leading Generous Teams podcast this week. We discussed how she fuels herself and her team/ to make the hard decisions and stay focussed on the goals that matter. Kelly is experienced in executive roles ...

INHERITED A TEAM WITH THE WRONG ATTITUDE?

January 23, 2023 06:00 - 6 minutes - 4.36 MB

Inherited a team that is stuck in old ways of thinking + working? The ol’ “Hire for attitude, train for skill,” doesn’t cut it anymore. We’ve all heard the saying “Hire for attitude, train for skill,” and that’s nice, but how often do you get to build a team from scratch?  More often than not, our teams are a patchwork of other people’s decisions and history. So when you inherit a team, the “hiring for attitude” ship has sailed. In this episode we discuss: Why this happens Why it’s imp...

Oxfam CEO, Lyn Morgain on the strategic importance of learning how to share joy

January 09, 2023 19:00 - 39 minutes - 26.8 MB

Shallow or strategic? What comes to mind when you think of the highlight reel of your work? It’s shallow. Like you’re glossing over what still needs to be done. You just don’t have time for it. And yet, in my conversation with Lyn Morgain, CEO of Oxfam on our Leading Generous Teams podcast this week, we discussed the strategic importance of learning how to share the joy and those moments of highlight. Lyn Morgain is the Chief Executive of Oxfam Australia. As leader of Oxfam Australia, ...

November 28, 2022 19:00 - 30 minutes - 21.1 MB

Bank Australia’s Chief Impact Officer, Sasha Courville on confidence rather than comfort during change.

November 14, 2022 19:00 - 31 minutes - 21.8 MB

One of the biggest lessons for people working in leadership and for-purpose roles is the need to be able to navigate uncertainty and work within ambiguity.  The stock standard advice is to learn how to get comfortable during change. But that’s outdated thinking. The landscape has shifted and we’re living in a constant state of change. Rather than wanting to get comfortable, it’s time to get confident during change.  That’s what I discussed with Sasha Courville, Chief Impact Officer of Ban...

Smith Family CEO, Doug Taylor on why proactive reflection gives you access to untapped resources.

November 07, 2022 19:00 - 34 minutes - 23.9 MB

Reflection feels like a void, or a nice idea that other people have time for.

That’s what I discussed with Doug Taylor. CEO of The Smith Family on our Leading Generous Teams podcast this week.  Doug Taylor was appointed CEO of The Smith Famil...

October 31, 2022 19:00 - 31 minutes - 21.9 MB

What advice would you give a humanitarian leader who’s in the thick of change? A leader who spends their days seeking and promoting human welfare, bringing aid to those in need, alleviating suffering, and maintain and protect human dignity.  That’s some pretty heavy stuff.

That’s what I discussed with David on our Leading Generous Teams podcast this week. David leads a talented and determined team campaigning to fulfill Greenpeace's mission to secure an earth capable of nurturing life in all of its m...
