Reflections, refocus, and a new offering

The context for our work remains leadership and culture. The primary focus of our work is on managers as the expression and conduit of these.  

In terms of culture, engagement, and performance we believe that managers are the most impactful people in the organisation. We need brilliant leadership absolutely (and many great consultants are offering programs in that space).

Leadership: It's not what you think...

Having recently returned from study at the Harvard Kennedy School, Helen shares her thoughts from her inspired time whilst attending the Art and Practice of Leadership Development (APL) programme led by Professor Heifetz.

Sometimes it seems that if you wanted to design a workplace where people can't do their best work, you would design the 9-5 office model.

Why workplaces don't work… and what to do about it.

On Completion and Renewal

As we come to the chaotic end of the year when 'everything' has to be done, it becomes too easy to lose sight of the big picture. When we are caught up in the minutiae everything becomes urgent. We lose sight of what we have achieved and think only of what is still to be done.

More than enough managers, but where is the ...

For many years now, we have been seeing this push to leadership. It's been the new black for quite some time and we see a massive amount of resources thrown into leadership programs. But, I wonder... are leadership programs delivering the results we want, or are we missing the point?

More than enough managers, but where is the management?

Modelling Leadership Excellence

JOIN FRAMEWORKS FOR CHANGE FOR AN INSIGHT-STYLE PANEL OF TASMANIAN LEADERS AS THEY SPEAK ON LEADERSHIP EXCELLENCE NOW AND INTO THE FUTURE. 

Leading through the COVID-19 disruption has taught us so much, and continues to spark conversations about what great leadership looks like. New leadership experiences, qualities and distinctions have emerged around and within us. 

What’s the aim?

The aim of this public conversation is to harvest and share the pearls of wisdom that have emerged from leading through this crisis. A panel of senior leaders and experts will discuss what leadership excellence looks like now and into the future.

It’s about:

  • Leading self

  • Leading the way

  • Leading people

Senior Leaders who have confirmed so far are: Jenny Dodd (CEO, TasTAFE), Tim Bullard (Secretary, Department of Education), Debbie Evans (CEO, Lifeline Tasmania), John Fitzgerald (CEO Tourism Tasmania). 

Details

When: Friday, 10 July at 12pm

Where: Online on Zoom

Duration: 75 minutes

Cost: A small contribution (As a guideline you might consider around $35)

How will it work?

The format of the public conversation is similar to the popular SBS Insight program. Claudia will ask targeted questions to a group of senior leaders and experts, and you will be in the audience in witness that conversation.

Please note: this will not be a Q&A session, but you can be assured that Claudia will raise questions that many leaders grapple with every day.

Adaptive Leadership for Disruptive Times

As we move into the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, there are challenging times ahead. That's why we're partnering with the Tasmanian Training Consortium to present Adaptive leadership for disruptive times, a course for middle and senior leaders to expand their perspectives and skills in leading change in disruptive times.

Frameworks for Change Director Helen Rees will be facilitating the course, drawing on her study with the Harvard Kennedy School.

Necessary Conversations for Leaders and Managers

There’s no roadmap on how to best lead and work together through a pandemic - leaders and managers need to pave the way and respond to what is needed.

To contribute to this, senior consultant Claudia Butler has designed a framework that summarises and encourages the critical conversation that managers need to initiate right now.
