Back in Cheeky Half 17, Paul & KG considered the Social Cohesion Report, researched and published by the Scanlon Foundation Research Institute. It is a veritable goldmine of insight and possibility, pointing out the many ways our society connects, grows and flourishes - and the potential risks we should all guard against in order to protect societal cohesion. They also wound up their conversation wondering if there would be an opportunity to talk to someone at the institute so they could explain

The concept of Resilience is one whose purchase has increased exponentially in Leadership circles over the past few decades. We preach its virtues and benefits with increasing zeal and seek out practices that will instil in us the necessary skills to overcome and bounce back from adversity. But what if we have so totally misunderstood resilience as to render it nothing more than a myth - an unattainable holy grail that, in fact, can do more harm than good?

We often talk about leadership as if we all shared a common understanding of its purpose. But what is leadership for, really? Is it to ensure things get done? Is it to inspire others to a shared goal or purpose? What if its purpose were both grander and more noble than that? What if leadership practice exists to effect the 'common good' in society and those that dwell within it?According to Associate Professor Samuel Wilson, from Swinburne University and researcher for the Australian

Cheeky Half episodes are Paul and KG's attempts at articulating ideas on leadership they've been tossing around but not fully comprehended. It's a way of starting a conversation and seeing whether anything 'sticks'. It is also a great vehicle for engaging with a growing, and increasingly vocal, audience. And it's the latter that really pumps them up! In this short episode they address some listener questions and concerns triggered by a recent episode where Paul and KG

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights affirms that, "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights." It is an affirmation as well as a promise made by many countries via the ratification of a number of Human Rights treaties. Australia is one of the countries that has made the 'promise' to uphold those treaties. However Australia has not fully incorporated these treaties into its own domestic laws through a comprehensive national human rights act, which has been a point of...

The need to present a professional persona to the world is now pretty much assumed. In fact, in some circles it is expected. Social media platforms have paved approaches and practices that allow us to reach thousands, if not millions, of eye balls. The process and outcomes of shaping our image and narrative for the consumption of others is often referred to as 'branding'. But questions remain: do these efforts work (to what end is yet another question), and is it worth our time?In this

What makes a great leader?!?It wasn't until a listener emailed Paul & KG this question that it dawned on them they had never actually discussed this topic. After some time together at the podcast desk, and a gorgeous bottle of wine, they realised why this had been the case. It's a bloody hard question to answer. It's complex and, in some circles, a little muddled, heated or controversial. But that's never stopped them before! So join KG & Paul as they deflect, qualify and

We do love a 'straight talker'. Someone who is courageous enough to call out the BS. Someone who feels comfortable to speak their mind, and call it 'as they see it'. But sometimes it doesn't take much for a virtue to transform into a form of 'violence'; all of a sudden, we feel disempowered by someone else's 'truth'. A 'truth' held so tightly that it suffocates dialogue and goodwill, disregarding unconscious biases and unspoken intentions

Many of us know someone in a Leadership position that oozes self-confidence. They are highly skilled, backing every one of their decisions, as if they were fated. However, what happens when those people lack self-awareness? Many of us have experienced that fallout too. But this leadership character 'equation' may also be turned upside down. What if we worked with a very skilled leader, high in self-awareness, but awfully short on self-confidence?On this Cheeky Half Paul & KG riff on

Good leadership practice is nothing to sneeze at. It's serious business.But does it always have to be 'serious'? Is there any room for light-heartedness or humour?

KG & Paul have always held the position that healthy, productive, and even impactful, leadership practice is one that stays with the difficult conversations - even when these conversations are likely to reveal the most inscrutable, even darker, sides of our own natures. These aren't always comfortable conversations, but they can nevertheless carry a sense of hope and desire for authentic dialogue, mutual understanding and a genuine acknowledgement of the dignity inherent in all of our

It's a fascinating social research project that seeks to assess the state of our 'social cohesion' at a given point (the report is published annually).

Aren't they simply just conversations that happen to touch on difficult topics? Why then the need for 'courage'? Is there real danger where some form of bravery is required? Or does this term say more about our fears of conflict, or our potential lack of skills or tolerance for navigating the 'heat' of discomfort? Hope
