Leadership in the sporting context has been a regular theme discussed amongst leaders on this podcast. Today’s guest is Lisa Hasker, the Chief Executive Officer of Vicsport. Lisa posed some interesting questions in response to the nature versus nurture theme and well worth considering – (1) Have you been in situations where you’ve learned to be a leader? (2) Have you had leaders that have been role models for you? (3) Have you been in situations where you have had to cope with different stressors? I believe your life experience whether at work or outside the work context continually shape you as a leader. You can find out more about Lisa and Vicsport here - Lisa Hasker and Vicsport

My thanks to Kevin Bennett, the Queensland and New South Wales – Regional Facilitator of the Best Practice Network for his time and views on this thing called leadership.  I asked Kevin to share his views on leadership given his exposure to a range of industry sectors and of course leaders.  I posed a question - do we have fit for future leaders? He said leaders need to upskill themselves for industry sectors that may be disrupted for a number of reasons.  In some ways I think this incorporates an ability to embrace ambiguity and change.  The path of least resistance for leaders is an option that is no longer viable.

Today's podcast guest is Dr Jonathan Westover and this is the second part of my discussion regarding toxic leadership. Something I overlooked but was reminded of during the discussion is that overall people are not generally toxic human beings and essentially seek productive and safe workplaces. A small number of bad actors can create significant problems within an organisation, increase stress levels and will ultimately lead to dysfunctional work settings. Dr Westover hosts the Human Capital Innovations (HCI) Podcast, well worth a listen with an amazing range of content regarding leadership. Thanks for joining me in the first part of my discussion with Dr Westover. My co-host Ben Deverson, Founder, Director and Chief Organiser at Lawganised will be back with us in later podcasts.
