Michael Fairweather (AM) - the guest on this episode is a business heavyweight and a retired Major General in the Australian Army (Reserve). He is also Paul Fairweather’s big brother.
Despite what may seem to be a background I’m highly structured and disciplined environments, Michael reveals that there is a streak of creativity running throughout the army - from the everyday ranks (who have learned to create new flavours with their rations via the use of spicy sauces) through to the officers whose selection for army depends in part on their creative skills, through to the Centre for Army Lessons Learned who are charged with encouraging the army to change and adapt to new circumstances.
Michaels tip for incorporating more creativity in business? Communicate - Communicate by Listening, sharing feelings, and expressing the ideas that will help to move things forward.
