Cultural renewal: the keys to success

Eight years ago, I wrote about the cultural renewal challenges facing not-for-profit organisations we had worked with over the previous decade. What’s remarkable about re-reading that article today is just how little has changed in the almost another decade since. If anything, things have only become more difficult – particularly in light of the upheaval [...]

Gaining new perspectives in a stunning landscape

It was wonderful to revisit the Flinders Ranges region once again on our most recent Ikara–Ediacara: Past, Present and Future Leadership Experiences. We had the opportunity to share this amazing space in a way that allows leaders to pause, reflect, explore, share and listen – all of this in ways that rarely feel as available in [...]

The critical role of leader as sponsor in development programs

Something often overlooked in the planning, implementation and follow-up of leadership development programs is the critical role of the senior leader as sponsor. Put very simply, if senior leadership don’t actively and visibly get involved with these programs, the programs – and the accompanying investment of time and resources – are unlikely to have any [...]

Self-centredness and emotional health

There’s an important principle we use in emotional health that we haven’t covered in this blog for some time. The principle of self-centredness – along with topics we have discussed including the line of choice, the inner observer, the centres of intelligence and behavioural freedom – is an important concept to understand as you continue [...]

The role of vulnerability in authentic leadership

In our last blog post, we considered the distinction between leaders who tend towards being ‘direct’ in their interactions with others and those who tend towards being ‘blunt’. We used this comparison to distinguish between an authentic, effective, emotionally healthy leader and one who isn’t. As we discussed, being ‘authentic’ as a leader includes being [...]

Direct or blunt? For authentic leaders, there is a difference

One of the conversations I have been having with leaders lately is around being ‘authentic’ and what that means for the way in which they lead and enable others. Many leaders express a recognition that it is critical to ‘be yourself’ in the way you ‘show up’ as a leader. People need to know who [...]

Business for people and planet – the movement grows

The following article was originally posted in 2016 after we were first certified as a B Corp. It was updated in March 2022.
