For our third issue of M Magazine, we chose a theme that has surfaced again and again in client discussions with Australian executives: how do we future-proof growth for our organisations and more broadly, our nation?
It would be easy to be disheartened by the revelations of past Royal Commissions. Instead, we view this as the golden opportunity for change, to forge leadership practices that are fit-for-purpose and to find leaders who have the conviction to show us a new way forward.
At Maximus we view leadership as a privilege and a responsibility and now is the time for a bold reset of leadership capabilities. Future-focused leadership is about evolving your capabilities to impact a bigger purpose; show greater empathy, commit to purpose with deeds, create a culture that ensures work and life are integrated and act to care for our planet – it’s not for the faint-hearted.
Alongside our perspectives on future-focused leadership, you’ll also find thinking from Unilever, Patagonia, the AICD, Sydney Metro and other thought leaders.
