Leadership

The world is changing and if you’re looking to step into a leadership position, here are some mistakes to avoid in the modern workplace.

If you take a close look at the greatest leaders throughout history, the one common theme that links these people together is the shared understanding that what you do has a far greater impact than what you say.

Huy Nguyen, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Enabler Interactive, is a passionate leader dedicated to promoting inclusivity in society and improving the quality of training for support workers. 

International Women’s Day is an important day to recognise and celebrate the achievements of women around the world. Today we recognise Kelly Rogerson, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Palliative Care Southeast; a born nurse who has devoted her career to end of life care. 

While some have branded Generation Z, or ‘Zoomers’, as a tech-dependent bunch of ‘job-hoppers’, business and social trends will never remain stagnant and younger workers are demanding higher expectations for their careers when they dip their toes into a job market swimming with opportunity.

Yvonne Timson, has a leadership approach that focuses on flattening the business structure in order to empower her staff and allow for self-managed teams in a sector that traditionally didn’t have many opportunities. 

The aged care workplace has become increasingly diverse and there are now more generations of employees working together than ever before. From Baby Boomers to Gen Z, this diverse mix of generations can create a challenge when it comes to giving and receiving feedback.

Creating an effective feedback culture in the workplace is essential for any successful business. Feedback provides employees with the opportunity to learn from their mistakes, grow professionally, and become better contributors to the team.

Are you a carrot-and-stick style leader, encouraging staff and organisational performance through rewards and punishment? Or do you adopt a leadership method that nurtures staff, and aims to inspire and motivate?

In a sector that is all about caring, it is just as important that you show a level of care and understanding within your leadership of teams at your aged care service or facility.
