   Why Change Projects Fail: A simple readiness check for leaders

   My guest for this episode is Carly Marriner, a change manager who has been supporting change projects across government, higher education and corporate environments for over 20 years. In this episode, Carly shared three key elements that any change, in any area, needs to succeed. Miss one of them, and you’re bound to have a failed change. We also talk about: Where change goes wrong, and what happens when it does. Think eroded trust and change fatigue for a start. Carly’s completely free five-minute Snapshot Assessment can help teams identify gaps in their change process before it’s too late. Examples of change projects that went from a low score that was jeopardising the change to meeting an 89% score in four months. Once you hear Carly talking about the three key elements of change, I promise you it will transform how you approach – and how successful you are in bringing about – change in your team or organisation. Is your change set up for success? You can grab the Snapshot Change Assessment here (https://scoreapp.changeeffect.com.au/snapshot) and learn more about Carly’s work here (https://changeeffect.com.au/).

   Creating culture and commitment when managing remote creative teams, with Sandra Muller

   Remote teams and culture: is that even possible? Sandra Muller, owner and managing director of True North Content, joined me on the podcast to talk about building and leading a fully remote team of creative specialists. In 2024, Sandra bought the business she helped build as a contractor. We talk about how she creates culture when her team is not only remote, but staffed mostly with contractors: Sandra’s ‘secret’ to making sure new and returning contractors are supported Prioritising the little moments when culture is created without making it feel forced or like ‘we’re here to create culture’ And how this culture of trust amongst the team is impacting the client output Why an outcomes-over-hours culture works really well for this team Flexibility and how that attracts really committed people Sandra’s wish to continue to grow a profitable business, but also one that fits this culture she has built, and maintains the quality of the work and the culture. You can connect with Sandra Muller on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanmuller/), and learn more about her work, and her company, True North Content, here (https://truenorthcontent.com.au/).

   Mental health and leadership in the construction industry with Adam Evans - Episode 3

   In the third of my construction industry conversations with electrical project manager Adam Evans, we move into one of the hardest parts of leading in construction: mental health. Adam is candid about why he thinks the industry carries such a high suicide rate. We also cover: The yelling-and-screaming culture. Escalation as a default management style, and Adam's observation that the best-run sites are precisely the ones without it. The implications of a very young workforce, who doesn’t quite have the self-awareness tools to deal with the pressures of the tough environment. The self-awareness problem. If the senior people won't engage with the "fluffy" leadership work, they can't extend a hand to anyone else. Does gender change the conversation? A third-year apprentice became the only person a struggling colleague would talk to - and got him back to work when nobody else could reach him. The business case for investing in team development, and its friction – the reality of a labour industry where every hour is billable and training costs both the course fee and the hours, and can feel hard to justify. Not everyone should lead: some people are better off staying technical specialists. It’s a fascinating conversation, no matter what industry you lead in, but particularly if you work in or with the construction industry. This episode discusses suicide and mental health. If it raises anything for you, please reach out to a local crisis line — in Australia, Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636; MATES in Construction on 1300 642 111 or TIACS for tradies and people working in rural industries.
