  • Lessons in Leadership the Life of Sir John Monash GCMG, KCB, VD
    Lessons in Leadership The Life of Sir John Monash GCMG, KCB, VD By Rolfe Hartley FIEAust CPEng EngExec FIPENZ Engineers Australia Sydney Division CELM Presentation March 2013 Page 1 Introduction The man that I would like to talk about today was often referred to in his lifetime as ‘the greatest living Australian’. But today he is known to many Australians only as the man on the back of the $100 note. I am going to stick my neck out here and say that John Monash was arguably the greatest ever Australian. Engineer, lawyer, soldier and even pianist of concert standard, Monash was a true leader. As an engineer, he revolutionised construction in Australia by the introduction of reinforced concrete technology. He also revolutionised the generation of electricity. As a soldier, he is considered by many to have been the greatest commander of WWI, whose innovative tactics and careful planning shortened the war and saved thousands of lives. Monash was a complex man; a man from humble beginnings who overcame prejudice and opposition to achieve great things. In many ways, he was an outsider. He had failures, both in battle and in engineering, and he had weaknesses as a human being which almost put paid to his career. I believe that we can learn much about leadership by looking at John Monash and considering both the strengths and weaknesses that contributed to his greatness. Early Days John Monash was born in West Melbourne in 1865, the eldest of three children and only son of Louis and Bertha. His parents were Jews from Krotoshin in Prussia, an area that is in modern day Poland.

    2017­5­15 2012 Victorian Architecture Awards | ArchitectureAU 2012 Victorian Architecture Awards Awards | Words Shelley Penn The Royal Children’s Hospital by Billard Leece Partnership and Bates Smart. Image: John Gollings The 2012 Victorian Architecture Awards were announced at a presentation dinner on 29 June, held at Crown Palladium in Melbourne. Jury comment The 2012 Victorian state awards program has seen a dramatic rise in the number of entries from previous years. The years 2010 and 2011 saw about a 1 percent growth, yet this year there was a 21 percent increase — we received a total of 235 entries. Significant jumps in the categories of Heritage, Residential Alterations and Additions, Residential Multiple and Urban Design were somewhat countered by lowered numbers in Commercial and New Public Architecture — a sign of the times perhaps. Despite economic uncertainty, however, Victorian architects are continuing to deliver outstanding work. Together, the fifty­seven awards and commendations hint, through their breadth and exceptional quality, at the enormous scope of architecture’s contribution to Victorian society and culture. Each entry, from the smallest private intervention to the larger civic projects, reveals the generosity of spirit, innovation and tenacity that underpin excellent architecture. All of the architects who entered projects, who put their work under the glare of peer evaluation and thereby gave us all a glimpse of the great things underway in Victorian architecture, are sincerely thanked. I also thank the jurors, who have contributed substantially to this year’s awards through their time and rigorous consideration — a contribution that is essential to the credibility and distinction that characterize the Institute’s awards programs.

  • How Rupert Murdoch's Empire of Influence Remade The
    HOW RUPERT MURDOCH’S EMPIRE OF INFLUENCE REMADE THE WORLD Part 1: Imperial Reach Murdoch And His Children Have Toppled Governments On Two Continents And Destabilized The Most Important Democracy On Earth. What Do They Want? By Jonathan Mahler And Jim Rutenberg 3rd April 2019 1. ‘I LOVE ALL OF MY CHILDREN’ Rupert Murdoch was lying on the floor of his cabin, unable to move. It was January 2018, and Murdoch and his fourth wife, Jerry Hall, were spending the holidays cruising the Caribbean on his elder son Lachlan’s yacht. Lachlan had personally overseen the design of the 140-foot sloop — named Sarissa after a long and especially dangerous spear used by the armies of ancient Macedonia — ensuring that it would be suitable for family vacations while also remaining competitive in superyacht regattas. The cockpit could be transformed into a swimming pool. The ceiling in the children’s cabin became an illuminated facsimile of the nighttime sky, with separate switches for the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. A detachable board for practicing rock climbing, a passion of Lachlan’s, could be set up on the deck. But it was not the easiest environment for an 86-year-old man to negotiate. Murdoch tripped on his way to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Murdoch had fallen a couple of other times in recent years, once on the stairs while exiting a stage, another time on a carpet in a San Francisco hotel. The family prevented word from getting out on both occasions, but the incidents were concerning. This one seemed far more serious.
