'Rollforming' ethical leadership.
Wednesday Jun 26, 2019
Wednesday Jun 26, 2019
In this episode of Stirring the Pot, we talk with Renita Reddy. Director at Reddy Diamond Group - a successful rollforming company in Fiji.
Renita is not what you'd typically imagine as the leader of a large rollforming business. She's young, female, Fijian, has strong religious beliefs and is passionate about dog rescue!
But she is also brave and driven. Confronting the cultural bias of being a young female in leadership within Fiji, and breaking the mold of how people expect her to lead. She's embraced the unconventional, and chosen to be her authentic and value-based self.
And now, her resilience and 'diversity of thought' is starting to shine through. The figures are starting to quell her greatest critiques, and the results are changing mindsets across her business for the better.

Getting rid of the 'fluff' around resilience & wellbeing.

In this episode of Stirring the Pot, we talk with Industrial and Organisational Psychologist and self professed leadership, resilience and curiosity seeker - Alia Bojilova!
In this thought provoking chat, she challenges our current perceptions around resilience and wellbeing within the work place. Making it known that paying lip service to these concepts are a massive risk to our industry which requires huge investment in terms of intellectual capability.
She believes the focus on resilience and wellbeing need to be a great deal more robust, especially if we want to be a business that attracts and retains top staff for greater productivity and profitability.
Saying "Stress steals time. The more busier we are, the less likely we are to pay attention to what matters. And, business as usual is sometimes a huge dusty pile of stuff we don't have to attend to. We need to pause, and focus on the things that matter as apposed to everything that is immediately in front of us."

Wednesday Jun 12, 2019
In this episode of Stirring the Pot, we talk with The Human Resources Project's Executive Director - Rowan Larsen.
We know the skills gap is nothing new to our industry. It is well known and voiced. And that's why we knew it was important to explore what practical steps our members could take to address this challenge.
Join us as we discuss how important it is to create a clear culture, company purpose and strategy for staff. How to better position our organisation so it's more attractive to potential employees, the need for a basic functional accountability chart and how to gain clarity around the skills and job functions required so you have the right people on your team.
