Over the past two days, I've had the privilege of attending the board meetings of two remarkable Aussie organisations: KINSHIP digital, led by Alex Harper, and abunderati, led by Caitlin Green. I am truly inspired by the visionary leadership and dedication these two individuals bring to the table. Alex H. and Caitlin Green are not just leaders in their respective companies; they are driving forces of innovation in our #Australian industry. Their passion for pushing boundaries and their unwavering commitment to excellence have paved the way for their organisations' success. In my view what sets Alex and Caitlin apart is their genuine care for their teams and clients. They understand that a company's success is not solely measured by profits but by the well-being of its staff and the satisfaction of its clients. Their leadership is characterised by empathy, mentorship, and a profound commitment to fostering a culture of growth and collaboration. In an era where leadership is often measured by numbers alone, Alex and Caitlin remind us of the human side of business. They prioritise the development and happiness of their teams, creating environments where innovation thrives and individuals can truly excel. Their dedication to their clients is equally commendable. Alex and Caitlin understand that the success of their organisations is intrinsically linked to the success of their clients. They go above and beyond to deliver value, solve challenges, and ensure the best outcomes for those they serve. As I look to the future of our industry, it's leaders like Alex and Caitlin (and their teams) who give me hope and confidence in what lies ahead. Their innovative thinking, combined with their genuine care for people, make them true industry pioneers. #innovation #startup #leadership #tech #australia #welldone

Kudos to the Association of Executive Search and Leadership Consultants (AESC) for publishing their annual "Client Research Report" at the beginning of the year. This one graph sums up what companies can expect going forward with candidate expectations and workforce trends in 2024 (we're late, we know). Startups and leaders in workplace culture, take note: The shift from compensation to purpose, vision, and mission as top priorities for attracting and retaining talent is significant. It's clear that culture, brand reputation, and team strength are becoming increasingly crucial in the evolving job market. #StartupCulture #WorkplaceTrends #Leadership #TalentAcquisition #EmployeeEngagement #2024Trends #FutureOfWork

In 2024, identifying and retaining flight risk employees is crucial. Leaders must recognize early signs of disengagement, such as decreased productivity or increased absenteeism, to intervene effectively.

Last week The Park headed to Winchester for our 2024 kick off meeting. This year was a little different as we took the team through the new five year plan and the specifics of 2024, giving everyone total clarity on where the business is heading, allowing them to challenge us and also have some lively discussion. It's an exciting time for the business and it feels like we're almost in startup mode again, this year is going be huge but with the team we now have in place it feels like anything is possible. Highlights from the plan include: 💥 The creation of a new leadership team with greater responsibilities and opportunities for the next generation of leaders 💥 A collective agreement that we want to create a culture of high performance to make sure we're regularly challenging each other to be the best we can be 💥 The launch of new complimentary services including content, design and employee experience 💥 Evolution of the founders roles, creating clarity and opportunity for the rest of the team 💥 A much greater focus on diversity and sustainability 💥 A new client manifesto making sure we're working efficiently with our clients and adding value to their business regularly Most importantly we also agreed we are going to have a lot of fun doing it. #BrandProof #TheParkLife

Great piece by Quest Global's very own CEO, Ajit Prabhu, about how a company culture can drive the success of a growing business. "The primary challenge for every founder and their leadership team is transitioning from an owner-operated to an operator-owned business," he writes. Here are a few ways businesses can make the shift easier for everyone that stood out to me in this piece. ➡️ Purpose Formalization. The journey starts with embedding the founder's vision and values into the organizational culture. ➡️ Leadership Cultivation. Continuous learning is the cornerstone of internal leadership development, ensuring emerging leaders have the adaptability and knowledge to navigate the company's future challenges. ➡️ Resilience And Innovation. In the right culture, new ideas aren't just accepted; they're eagerly sought out and, more importantly, rigorously thrashed out. Check it out and let me know which piece of advice stood out to you in this article. #CompanyCulture #QuestGlobal #BusinessResilience

'Whiplash Leadership' describes the leadership style many of us have had to adopt since the start of the pandemic. A very human endeavour of leadership has had to be delivered at a very inhuman pace. While whiplash leadership may be essential in some environments (e.g. startups, crises, etc.), we realize that many of us could play the game like elite athletes - who can slow the game down and play calmly, and still win. Some strategies: 1. Be open to counterpoints 2. Explain it all, or at least, try to do so 3. Show empathy
