Feedback needs trust to land.

We can teach leaders frameworks for giving feedback. We can give them scripts, models and conversation starters. But no feedback model can replace one thing: Trust. Without trust, feedback can quickly feel like criticism.
When trust is present, even a difficult conversation can become an opportunity for reflection, learning and growth.

So before asking, “How should I give this feedback?” perhaps we should ask:
“What have I done to build the relationship that will allow this feedback to be heard?”

Leadership isn't only about having courageous conversations. It is about building the trust that makes those conversations possible.

“I want to understand them. Who are they? What is their story? What motivates them?”

There is a lot in Pasquale's approach to leadership that resonates with me, particularly the importance he places on understanding people as individuals.

His concept of MBWA, Management by Walking Around, is wonderfully simple.

Leadership presence doesn't always require a formal conversation. Sometimes it starts by being visible, saying good morning and taking a genuine interest in the people around you.

Understanding people is fundamental to leading them well.
It's one of the areas we'll explore further at our workshop: Leadership Essentials in Bunbury this October. Link in Bio

Everyone needs a mentor.

What stood out to me was that Pasquale's mentors aren't necessarily from his industry.

There can be real value in seeking perspectives beyond the environments we know well. The right person can challenge our assumptions, broaden our thinking and help us notice what we may not see ourselves.

Leadership doesn't remove the need for guidance. If anything, it can make that outside perspective even more valuable.

Who do you have around you who is willing to challenge your thinking?

The Greatest Legacy of Leadership Is the People We Lift

My heart is full after presenting at the WAPPA Conference today.
Sharing the findings from my leadership research and the message behind my third book, Leadership That Lifts Others, was both a privilege and a reminder of why I am so passionate about developing leaders who create positive impact.

For years, I have listened to stories, conducted research, and worked with leaders across sectors. The lesson that continually emerges is that our greatest legacy is not what we accomplish ourselves, but what we make possible for others.

Seeing so many leaders committed to strengthening their schools, their teams, and their communities gives me enormous hope for the future.
It was also wonderful to be in the company of Dr Adam Fraser PhD, Myles Pollard, and Adam Axford. Learning from and alongside people who are equally committed to making a difference made the experience even more memorable.

To everyone who attended, thank you for your energy, curiosity, and willingness to reflect on the kind of leadership our people need most right now. Leadership that lifts others is not a strategy. It is a choice. And it's a choice that changes lives.

“I just felt that if someone was to query me as a leader, I was under attack.”

I appreciated Pasquale's honesty in this part of our conversation.

Being challenged can be uncomfortable, particularly when we are invested in a decision or feel our capability is being questioned.

But perhaps one of the most important aspects of leadership is developing the self-awareness to recognise when we are reacting and creating enough space to listen before we respond.

When your leadership is challenged, what helps you move from reaction to curiosity?

If navigating challenging conversations is something you'd like to approach with greater clarity and confidence, we'll be exploring this in our workshop: Being Brave To Have Conversations That Matter in Bunbury this October. Learn more about the workshop, check the link in the bio.
