Show Notes
How do great leaders show care, encourage teams struggling through tough times, and boost performance?
We invited Graeme Cowan to speak at our IS Connect 26 Brisbane Leadership Breakfast. Graeme is the Founding Director of R U OK? and host of The Caring CEO podcast. He is also the author of the book Great Leaders Care.
Graeme shared his knowledge gained from 20 years helping leaders build resilient teams where care and high performance thrive together.
He shared the Great Leaders Care mindset: "Self-care isn't selfish, it's the foundation. Fill your own tank first, and you become far better at spotting and supporting the people around you who are struggling. Crew care is about building psychologically safe and resilient teams. And red zone care is having the confidence to identify and support someone who is struggling."
"Construction carries some of the highest rates of psychological injury and suicide in Australia. Not soft care. Strong care."
