A highly respected and successful senior leader of large and complex institutions in public service, education, and the media, Professor Mark Scott AO recounts invaluable lessons from his dynamic leadership career in this episode of The Scholar’s Podcast.

Interviewed by Grattan Institute CEO Dr Aruna Sathanapally (2006 John Monash Scholar), Mark draws upon his time as Managing Director of the ABC, Secretary of the NSW Department of Education and an editor at Fairfax Media. 

Through humorous and insightful storytelling, Mark recalls with humility the lessons and perspectives one can only come to understand in retrospect. 

Now, as Vice-Chancellor and President of the University of Sydney, Mark is leading an ambitious 10-year strategy, with immediate commitments to more than double scholarship support for under-represented domestic students.
