Click here to order: https://avrilhenry.au/products/books/leadership-revelations-ii-how-australians-lead-in-crises/ Australian Financial Review BOSS Magazine review: This book is a follow up to the 2005 Leadership revelations: An Australian Perspective which explored the notion of Australian leadership through interviews with a broad range of leaders across the business, not-for-profit and public sectors, including Carnival Australia’s Ann Sherry, Coca Cola Amatil’s Terry Davis, K-Mart chief Guy Russo and former public sector leader Peter Shergold. Now Henry has gone back to the same cohort to ask them how they and their organisations managed through the global financial crisis and find out what lessons they learned. It’s a good idea because stories about personal experience are always more palatable than dry platitudes or motherhood statements about best practice. The book underlines two important facts: while Australia was relatively buffered from the more severe impact of the GFC most organisations featured were affected by it in some way or another. The other feature is how many of the leaders found the crisis crystallised their understanding and practise of leadership. Many said they didn’t radically change but they did realise the need to be flexible and adaptive – chanted by management textbooks for years – was non-negotiable.
