Government grants enhance the affordability of culture change programs

A combination of state and federal government schemes designed to enhance the formal qualifications of Australians have the added bonus of providing the resources for corporate culture change programs.The challenge is that many leaders aren't aware of the opportunity they have available to them and therefore don't fully leverage the culture change opportunity.As a facilitator of such programs I help senior leaders recognise that the real benefit of the programs for companies are the…See More

The Challenge of 'Truth to Power' for Leaders

While travelling around Australia working with senior and development leaders in a corporate development program, I have been asking the following question: "How easy is it for employees to deliver potentially unpleasant messages to more senior people in organisations?"

Stop thinking like a chicken if you are an eagle

The first sparkenation for 2012.Soar like an EagleA man found an eagle’s egg and put it in a nest of a barnyard hen. The eaglet hatched with the brood of chicks and grew up with them. All his life, the eagle did what the barnyard chicks did, thinking he was a barnyard chicken. He scratched the earth for worms and insects. He clucked and cackled. And he would thrash his wings and fly a few feet into the air. Years passed, and the eagle grew very old. One day, he saw a magnificent bird above him…See More
