Leaderbilt

If you’ve never been in an executive level strategy meeting, it may be surprising what actually goes on. There’s an image that very senior leadership teams and self interested, and disconnected from the organisation - and that certainly happens - but some of these examples may be useful to know.

We have to be aware of how our personal leadership style effects those around us. From our behaviours, to communication style, understanding how your leadership style is received - how you’re viewed as a leader - is essential to make progress. If you want to be known as an amazing leader, the tools to build that leadership image may already be in your everyday life!

Can we improve our leadership image through understanding all of our identities? A bit of a thought experiment.

We’re children, parents, hobbyists, community members, siblings, and we have an image of all these identities. Understanding those different identities, and how we shape our style within them, may instruct how we are perceived as a leader.

Laura Racky and Christian Cunningham talk leading working parents during lockdowns, and more generally. Also a great chat with Laynton Allan from KidsCo about some of the fun and challenges of their award winning business.

Laura and Christian got stuck into some of the leadership lessons to be learnt from Victoria’s lockdown. We drag it back from the political and into the business leadership sphere. Also a discussion with Angela Wood from Big Group Hug, challenging subject matter but very instructive on how they assist people in a extraordinarily direct way. Well worth a look if you are considering contributing to a brilliant cause.

Christian Cunningham and Laura Racky get a bit surly about escalating matters of governance in the state of Victoria. We also caught up with Gemma Tognini from GT Media to talk all things PR Communications in the Weirdness. Sound gets a bit swampy at times, but think we got the best of it.

Laura Racky and Christian Cunningham talk about some of the decision making around stage 4 lockdown - right in the middle of it. What options did Daniel Andrews have that he did and didn’t take, and what can business leaders and owners learn from this about building a mandate in a crisis. A bit of a time capsule as to what we were thinking at the time. Happy listening.
