We ask much of our leaders and blame them for ay failure to order the world to our liking. Yet many of us are reluctant to engage, preferring to disparage leaders as a class apart, a quarrelsome lot and overpaid to boot-the useful butt of barbecue humour. Will we engage better with the next generation of leaders? Will they conduct a kinder, gentler national conversation? In this book, 36 Australian voices-both early achievers and the venerable from across the political and social landscape-offer fresh ideas and timeless wisdom for people entering public life.

Whether you are a budding politician, advisor, lobbyist, advocate, local councillor, NGO leader, social activist, blogger, philanthropist, sporting administrator or the representative of an industry, the arts, a profession or a trade-you are in public life. This book will deepen your understanding of what you must know, do, say and be to succeed.

"... a 'must read' for any aspiring leader... a treasure trove of invaluable insights into effective leadership." - Laurie Wilson: President, National Press Club

Subdivisions Victoria has all the information you need to help you through the subdivision process and all that is related to it. It explains the nature of subdivisions and the initial steps involved. There is more detail of the town planning requirements and the process for having a plan registered.

It can serve as both an instruction manual for those new to the area and a valuable reference for those already practising in it.

This comprehensive guide to subdivisions is written in a way that is easy to understand. How it is set out makes it simple to follow.

95% of knowledge workers are on multiple teams.
75% of those teams don't exist on the organisation chart.
We are on multiple teams because modern organisations need to operate as dynamic networks of teams to keep up with a rate of change that is outpacing their hierarchical structures that rely on rigid policies and procedures. Operating as a dynamic network of teams is a pathway to a more agile, dynamic and connected way of working.
For most of us, teamwork on multiple teams feels like a lot of work and not much team, draining us of energy, attention, and time.
Teamership gives you the tools to make multiple teams work. It exposes what has been hiding in plain sight - that our assumptions about how work gets done in modern organisations needs to shift.
You will explore:
What is stopping us from getting the most out of multiple teams.
How individuals, leaders and teams can thrive across multiple teams.
Teamership as a competitive advantage at all levels of an organisation.
Now is the time to work together as connected leadership teams, dynamic leaders, and energised individuals.

The Matilda Principle offers a coaching approach that builds positive teams regardless of organisational culture. It builds trust, motivation and positivity without attracting attention and without rocking the boat. In other words, it is covert team building.

As a positive manager, you want people to do more than just show up. You also want people to enjoy working for you. You want them to trust you, to be motivated and loyal. In short, you want a positive team.

But you also know your hands are tied. Decisions about better pay and conditions are made above your pay grade. The HR department determines how performance reviews and job design are managed. And your own boss isn’t going to allow your team to work differently to other teams.

But what if you could create a positive team under the radar? What if team building could be done without permission, as an act of creative subversion?

In this book, Brad Desmond combines his wealth of experience as a psychologist and corporate trainer with cutting-edge studies into coaching and team building.

With The Matilda Principle you will better connect with your people and bring out their best, leaving others to guess your secret.
