Leaders

As leaders we like to believe we ‘make’ decisions and that they’re rational.

When the numbers are so low to begin with, it’s easy for progress on women in leadership to take a significant turn for the worse with just a couple of resignations.

You’ve heard the term ‘a born leader’? Whilst leadership skills can be innate, there are skills and attributes that can be learnt and developed.

I’m the youngest of three children.

Minister Stephen Conroy frequently reiterates that the NBN’s implementation can double the level of teleworking (or ‘anywhere working’) for Australian workers, while also boosting GDP and creating the equivalent of an additional 25,000 full-time jobs; 20% of those in regional Australia.

Accounts in the media over the past week explain, or rather rationalise, the downfall of our first female Prime Minister.

Just 16 months into her five-year tenure as our first ever full-time Race Discrimination Commissioner, Dr Helen Szoke has announced she’s leaving the post in order to take up the role of Chief Executive with Oxfam.

I met a man recently who offered me great hope for future female leadership.

Almost six years ago I found myself part of a leadership team that was equal parts male and female.

There have been many satisfying moments in my career.
