What does it take to lead when every decision is under the spotlight—and the consequences are life or death?

I sit down with Katarina Carroll, Queensland's first female Police Commissioner and one of Australia's most tested public leaders. From a tobacco farm upbringing in Far North Queensland to commanding some of the country's most critical crisis responses - including the G20 summit and Queensland's catastrophic 2018 bushfires - Katarina's story is anything but conventional.

We go beyond the badge to unpack the systems, psychology, and self-trust that underpin high-stakes leadership. Whether you're navigating boardroom politics, organisational transformation, or real-time crisis, this episode will challenge how you think about authority, influence, and trust.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• How Katarina built operational credibility in a system not designed for her

• Why trust is earned not just by being right - but by being explainable

• When breaking protocol becomes a leadership advantage

• The role of communication under intense scrutiny [and how to keep control of the narrative]

• What most leaders get wrong about influence - and how to fix it

• Her real-time decision-making framework when the data is incomplete but the pressure is relentless

Memorable Moments:

• "You can't influence if people don't trust you've done the work."

• "Sometimes, breaking protocol is the most trust-building move you can make."

• "Be criticised for being cautious—not for being careless."

• "Influence isn't charisma—it's strategic credibility."
