Working with Jake-the-jerk and more lessons from Marshall Goldsmith

I’ve finally gotten around to reading “What got you here won’t get you there” by Marshall Goldsmith that I picked up at the AHRI Convention. Can I say that I loved every moment of it and after seeing him speak, I was reading it and in my head I could totally hear him saying every [...]

The only definition of a leader, is someone who has followers

In creating HR Club Sydney, I’ve been very fortunate to be able to meet a number of very amazing and passionate individuals. I also regularly get invited to events that are happening in Sydney, and am free to write my thoughts on these topics. After all, I don’t make any money from HR Club Sydney, [...]

FOLLOWSHIP- Leaders are nothing without Followers!

2010 Leadership Breakfast Series Proteus is a leadership and management training organisation which holds regular networking breakfasts which also includes a seminar. A lot of their work is around creating great leaders and positive work cultures. I’ve been given 6 free tickets (at a value of $49 per person) to share with HR Club Sydney [...]

I am woman hear me rawr!!

Adding Too Much Value? A problem for smart successful Leaders #AHRINC

In continuing on from problems that smart, successful people have, Marshall Goldmith talked about adding too much value as a leader recently at the AHRI National Convention.

Lessons from Mike Shove- now on Human Synergistics Video Room

Some time ago last year, I blogged about attending the Human Synergistics 11th Australian Conference on Culture and Leadership. Being fond of the Human Synergistics tools, I love these conferences. They are a half day, they are free and you get to hear real people talk about their personal stories using the tools. Amazing success [...]

A HR win to share in cultural change

Good morning and happy Wednesday to everyone. Just felt like sharing a recent HR win at my workplace. The Climb isn’t over yet- but it is rewarding to get the feeling that things are starting to shift. I’ve been working really hard on culture here, and by that I mean how we do things. I [...]

The Top 12 Leadership Training Mistakes

Good morning everyone- I’m back after a few days of being ill. Rather inconvenient actually, but in the spirit of moving onwards and upwards with the week I attended a short seminar in the city this morning which was about “The Top 12 Leadership Training Mistakes”. Hosted by James Adonis of ‘Team Leaders’, the seminar [...]

How important is culture?

According to Human Synergistics “Culture is the way that things are actually done in an organisation.” It includes shared values and beliefs, ways of thinking and norms or expectations of behaviours in the workplace.
