Total Executive Exclusive Membership Options

Hello 

As part of your 2011 membership provided by Total Executive, we occasionally have exclusive invitations to unique leadership workshops, forums and events...

The complimentary information sessions and networking options described below are hosted by Social Leadership Australia - created for leaders who are looking for new methods to work beyond the limitations of formal authority and create lasting solutions to entrenched problems...

If you are not in Sydney at these times, we recommend you invite your senior colleagues and peers.

Look forward to seeing you there.

Kind regards
Grant

Leaders need to see the real world - not the inside of a classroom.

Why would you send your best people into a refugee support centre,  public housing estate … or a remote Aboriginal community … or a prison to learn about leadership?

This is what Social Leadership Australia does with over 500 leaders from Government, NGOs and Top 500 companies each year and here's why:

“Extraordinary …a once in a lifetime experience … the most challenging and most valuable development experience I’ve had in my career.”
—Simon Terry,  General Manager, NAB
“Without a doubt the best post-graduate program that I’ve ever attended. I got enormous value out of my MBA but this was much deeper learning.”
—Rod Douglas, CEO, SuccesSystems

The Sydney Leadership Program.
Challenge yourself. Change your world.

Join us for breakfast or evening drinks and hear Robbie Macpherson, Head of Social Leadership Australia, explain why a dynamic leadership program that combines the Adaptive Leadership model with teaching in the community is having a bigger impact than most other classroom based approaches.

If you are working with increasing complexity and change; if the toughest issue you face is actually beyond your four walls; if the projects you are driving require cultural shifts or changes to values and behavioural norms, then Sydney Leadership just may be one of the best professional development opportunities you have come across.

What Leaders can Learn from The Rise of the Planet of the Apes

"This movie - Rise of the Planet of the Apes, through it's engagement with creatures emotions via the very clever replication of eye contact has the ability to impact the psyche of the human race and encourage a change for the better"

Grant Crossley, founder Total Executive

Are your leaders connecting with the inner desires of your staff - a willingness to connect with our environment, community and nature...

How are your leaders engaging staff?

Are they communicating sincerely - looking them straight in the eye?

Are they still tied up with the antiquated historic style of management - ruling by Carrot and Stick?

So your staff always need to watch their back...

Do your leaders leave staff distant?

Wanting to start an Uprising?

Or, do your leaders engage with compassion...

Encouraging engaging conversation...

Building an environment of collaboration


Is your business encouraging engagement with community, staff and our environment as is an underlying theme for Rise of the Planet of the Apes?

Think about how your leaders are engaging with staff? Do they need a helping hand?

If so, Contact Us to discuss Responsible Leadership

And make sure you check out this Movie of The Year:

Why would you send your best people into a public housing estate … or a remote Aboriginal community … or a prison to learn about leadership? That’s what we did with more than 200 leaders from Government, NGOs and Top 500 companies in 2010 alone. And this is the sort of thing they had to say about it:

“Extraordinary …a once in a lifetime experience … the most challenging and most valuable development experience I’ve had in my career.”
—Simon Terry,  General Manager, NAB
“Without a doubt the best post-graduate program that I’ve ever attended. I got enormous value out of my MBA but this was much deeper learning.” 
—Rod Douglas, CEO, SuccesSystems

I’m writing to invite you to come along to one of our forthcoming information sessions about the Queensland Leadership program and discover how Social Leadership Australia’s unique approach to learning is delivering some of the most powerful leadership development programs in Australia.

Queensland Leadership is our flagship leadership development program in Queensland. Each year it brings together a cohort of up to thirty high-talent, big-thinking individuals from across the business, government and not-for-profit sectors to learn what it means to exercise real leadership—leadership that works beyond the limitations of formal authority, leadership that helps create new, lasting solutions to entrenched problems.

If you are working with increasing complexity and change; if the toughest issue you face is actually beyond your four walls; if the projects you are driving require cultural shifts or changes to values and behavioural norms, then this may be one of the best professional development opportunities you have come across.

At the heart of Queensland Leadership is the Adaptive Leadership model developed by Ronald Heifetz and his colleagues at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. 

Having worked almost exclusively with this model in all our programs since 2002, we at Social Leadership Australia are some of Australia’s foremost Adaptive Leadership practitioners. But we take this model to a new level by bringing the learning into the community, because we believe leaders need to see the real world, not the inside of a classroom.

A comprehensive information booklet about Queensland Leadership is available on our website: www.benevolent.org.au/leadership
Join us for a complimentary breakfast on one of these two dates:

Thursday, 28th July 7:30am to 9:00am
The Benevolent Society, 9 Wilson Street, West End, Queensland

OR

Thursday, 11 August 7.30am to 9.00am
The Benevolent Society, 9 Wilson Street, West End, Queensland

Contact Social Leadership Australia to discuss further and book:
amandam@bensoc.org.au or 07 3170 4618

Yours sincerely,
Robbie Macpherson
Head, Social Leadership Australia

Limited Bookings Available...

Directors Report - Responsible Leadership in Banking, an interview with Michael Ullmer - Deputy Group CEO, NAB

Recently I had an interview with Michael Ullmer, Deputy CEO of NAB (National Australia Bank) who explains Responsible Leadership is first and foremost about doing the right thing.

Image Source

Sometimes in organisations people get bound up and make things too complicated.  But if you sit down and discuss a particular challenge - forget about the policies and procedures - and ask if you were to solve this by just doing what you feel is right - what would you do?

It is interesting how framing it as simply as that often allows people to identify insightful ways of solving a problem that also meets the policy requirements, without being distracted by the minutiae.

Many large organisations struggle with such a simple notion.  You could ask whether the banking industry would have the current public relations challenges if issues were viewed through the lens of 'doing the right thing'.

Leadership, Finance, Women and Membership Organisations

 Last week I met up with Ha-Dieu Ford. Ha-Dieu is the Chair of Women in Finance in Victoria, a position she has taken on with a wealth of experience in the financial sector since completing initial financial studies in the 1990's.

Our discussion revolved around Ha-Dieu's thoughts about Responsible Leadership which is one of her core interests with being Effective in Business.

Ha-Dieu explained that Responsible Leadership is about focusing on a style of business across all sectors that incorporates:

  • Communications
  • Outcomes
  • Results and
  • Feelings

To start, leaders need to move away from blame and take personal responsibility for outcomes and mistakes. It important as leaders that you ask yours questions on how you are contributing to your own professional development, your team, your stakeholders, your industry and our organisation.

Leadership and Boards of Directors - An Interview with John Vines

 Yesterday I met up with John Vines, Chairman of IBSA (Innovation and Business Skills Australia)

John is widely experienced on the boards of organisations and I asked what Responsible Leadership means to him.

John explained that responsible leadership means that organisations need to take into account every external environment and how their decisions make impact internally as well as externally.

Many boards of directors need to think more broadly.

This brings with it an implication...

Boards need to recognise multiple stakeholders...

 

  • Staff
  • Shareholders
  • Beneficiaries

Voicing values in the workplace

Professor Mary Gentile explores ethical dilemmas at work and how to act on them.

Recent years have seen
 an unprecedented breakdown in public trust of business, spurred in no small part by instances of unethical behavior at some of the world’s most powerful institutions. Mary Gentile, director of business curriculum at Babson College, says the real challenge for business students, employees, and executives isn’t knowing what’s right, but knowing how to act on those convictions within an organization. In this video interview, Gentile shares insights and experiences on how to do that, which she’s gathered through her work developing theGiving Voice to Values curriculum and her eponymous book.1 McKinsey Publishing’s Lily Cunningham conducted the interview with Mary Gentile in New York in June 2010.
