What sort of leader do you want to be? What sort of leadership works well when making change in the public sector?

The Civil Aviation Safety Authority introduced a multidisciplinary team-based approach to regulation and leadership to improve safety outcomes.

Understanding ourselves and our preferred behaviours provides a baseline for developing our own leadership.

Organisations are full of well-intentioned people who seek to make a difference in the world. Due to a variety of factors, it is easy for our best intentions to not manifest into the actions or outcomes we desire. Learn from stories about what holds us back, and how you can better align you actions and intentions, both for yourself and your teams.

AIRCDRE Robert Rodgers has been at the forefront of cultural change within the Royal Australian Air Force for over a decade. This includes pioneering the very successful Adaptive Culture program that recognised the need to both adapt the culture and produce a culture that was 'adaptive'.

How many Executive Assistants truly feel like they are living up to their title? How many actually believe they are fully contributing to the successes of their organisation? What can your organisation do about this?

Royal Australian Navy Aviation has undergone an extensive period of re-organisation in the aftermath of the 2005 Sea King helicopter accident. 817 Squadron has been at the forefront of this change and rebuilding of an organisational leadership culture. CO 817 Squadron, Commander Paul Moggach, speaks on developing a safety culture, leadership development and leaving a legacy.

In early 2011 Andy Friend was fired as the head coach of the Brumbies. What most people didn't know was that nine months earlier his wife Kerri had been involved in a mountain biking accident which left her with an Acquired Brain Injury. Kerri and Andy are undertaking 'The Friendly Ride' from Cooktown to Canberra to raise funds for Brain Injury Australia.

Kerri will speak on the changes that have occurred in their lives as a result of a sudden accident and the path to recovery from the injury for both herself and her family.

Leadership needs leaders and followers. Indeed, Harvard scholar and leadership author Barbara Kellerman suggests that, "Followers are more important to leaders than leaders are to followers." But in their attempts to develop leadership, do organisations support the role of followers as much as they support the role of leaders?

Over the years, Don has posed this question to hundreds of people at leadership conferences and workshops, and to date not one person claims to have undergone any form of formal followership development. Something to think about over breakfast...

What do leaders of organisations and teams require to function at high levels in our more complex, ambiguous and often chaotic pace of change?

It is the capacity to find pragmatic solutions to emerging trends, engage the conflicting needs and diversity of stakeholders, develop uniquely appropriate strategies for results, take timely action, and learn from experience. These skills need to be demonstrated through enhanced cognitive and behavioural development in our professional and personal lives.

During breakfast we will explore The Leadership Agility model; a model that identifies five levels of behavioural agility and what each level looks and feels like in four key competencies: context setting; stakeholder; creativity; and self-leadership.

Research shows that work is good for health. In a climate where Australia will be addressing issues such as a skill shortage and an aging workforce, employers need to focus on workers' health in order to maintain productivity and improve health outcomes in our community.

This presentation will concentrate on how we can improve the health outcomes of our staff whether they have compensable or non-compensable conditions or whether they are employed with a pre-existing condition or disability. The presentation will identify approaches based around the themes of "Promote", "Support" and "Restore".

In 2007, O2C were engaged by a unit within a public sector organisation to implement a program to improve employee health, boost wellbeing, reduce stress and improve resilience. During 2008, the team from O2C travelled around Australia to work with the leaders of the organisation and to support them on their voyage of discovery. Together, they delivered activities related to resilience, mental health, emotional intelligence, fun, social networking, secondary leadership team engagement and building functioning workgroups.

Almost 200 people participated in the program. Their achievements were outstanding. An analysis of pre and post course surveys revealed that at the completion of the 14 month program, participants demonstrated:

• Decreased psychological distress
• Increased resilience
• Increased job and non job competency

In these rough economic times, it is great to see that the program had a positive impact on increasing resilience and received overwhelming support and endorsement by the organisation.

Modern workplaces strive to impose order, create stability and provide structure to deliver capability.
