The Better Work Australia Podcast
A podcast to look at the experience of Australians in their workplaces. Sounds boring? Well, you'll hear about old mate "the cancer", video producers who make isolation tents in open plan offices, "huddles" and all kinds of names that disguise useless meetings, how you don't get paid doing some of the world's most important work, and more. But the whole aim is also to look at how we, as Aussies, make our work better!
The Better Work Australia Podcast
Will your people work for free? Purpose, trust and trail running
In this episode I'm joined by Tom Landon-Smith and Abhinandan Willis, who built Ultra-Trail Australia from humble beginnings into the world's third-largest endurance and trail running festival.
It might seem like a strange place to talk about work, but we walk through gathering a team of great humans around a purpose, self-transcendence, trust, autonomy and much more. There's a lot here for leaders around scaling and organising principles if you choose to listen.
Thanks to Bensound for our jaunty intro and exit music, and to Fina Charleson for her production support.
