What will people say your legacy is?

24 July 2015 by Anne Riches Leave a Comment

The word LEGACY written in vintage letterpress type

“You don’t lead machines, you lead people. Unless you understand human nature, I don’t think you can lead.”

Just read the July 2015 Qantas in-flight magazine article about David Morrison (former Chief of Army) by Catherine Fox Leader or Manager

It’s an engaging read  about his approach to leadership.

In my view Morrison showed true leadership when he told sexist officers and soldiers to get out of the army in 2013. You’ve probably seen the YouTube clip. It’s been viewed over 1.6 million times.

His view is that leaders engage through 4 mechanisms: role modelling, communications and narratives, systems and processes and culture.

Worth your reading time on the flight.

I like this TED talk on breaking a bad habit. It has a practical approach that I think could help.  

Look at me when I’m talking to you

1 February 2016

When I was growing up and my mother wanted to "point out the error of my ways", I remember that she often prefaced her no doubt well-intentioned words of advice with: "Look at me when I'm talking to

… it was the fact that what you presented simply made sense. In this time of scepticism, cynics and critics it would be very easy to walk away with no sense of change, but you have planted a very real seed of knowledge in our Amygdala, that will only grow over time and flourish into a very valuable tool that we can all use, from a personal and professional perspective. Thank you.
