Breakfast Workshop: 'Paradoxes of Australian Leadership'

18 April 2012 - 7:30am - 9:00am

Christie Conference Centre, 320 Adelaide Street (cnr Wharf Street), Brisbane

Australian leadership is a common dinner table topic in Australian society, with our leaders under frequent attack from all and sundry.

From schoolchildren to octogenarians, plumbers to mining magnates, the wealthy to the disadvantaged, it seems we all have an opinion about our leadership problems. Yet the true complexities and contradictions of leading in Australia are much less well-understood and rarely publicly examined.

Join Social Leadership Australia, Queensland Leadership participants, SLA alumni and friends for breakfast and explore some of the cultural challenges for the exercise of leadership in Australian contexts.

• What are the cultural limitations on the exercise of authority in Australia today?

• Why do we bemoan a lack of leadership yet fail to support the leaders we appoint to serve?

• What are the risks for our own efforts to make change in an environment with such a paradoxical relationship with leadership? MORE >

Breakfast Workshop: 'Leadership & Betrayal'

27 April 2012 - 7:30am - 9:30am

The Benevolent Society, Level 1, 188 Oxford Street, Paddington

Leadership & Betrayal: An Unlikely Alliance

Exercising good leadership sometimes means taking and defending a contrary view to the beliefs and values of supporters, employees, allies and the community. It is one of the toughest demands of leadership. It can feel like BETRAYAL.

Join Social Leadership Australia, current Sydney Leadership participants, alumni and friends for our first breakfast event of 2012 and explore this important, common and yet rarely discussed leadership dilemma.

PANEL : Dominic Grenot, Public Housing Liaison Officer, City of Sydney Council and SLA alumnus and Brett Degenhardt Senior Constable, Aircrewman/Aviation Support Branch, NSW Police Force and former crime prevention officer, Surry Hills Police. 

Dominic and Brett were both key members of a team who worked at the Northcott public housing estate in Surry Hills, on a long-term project that transformed the troubled precinct into a World Health Organisation-recognised ‘safe community’. MORE >
