As I reflect on the Kiwi success with the Americas Cup earlier this week, I couldn’t help but think about the lessons that can be drawn from Emirates Team New Zealand, Peter Burling, and his team(s) involved in bringing about a triumphant win for New Zealand.

Neuropsychology is one of the growing areas of interest in leadership. In simple terms, it focuses on the relationship between brain function and behaviour.

Last week our Director, Geoff Lorigan mailed another one of his reflective missives. A short personal leadership story that had meaning and relevance for many people – a number of whom reached out and requested a copy of the ‘The Economic Engine Framework’ that Geoff presented to Jim Slater, the UK business legend, back in January, 1990.

One of the great things about my job is that I get to meet very interesting people and benefit from listening to their views.  Yesterday I met with a prominent, seasoned Group CEO who is responsible for a large group of companies based here in Sydney.
