It had to be done for us to improve our performance and move on.’ Tracey Heenan, Principal, St Kevin’s Primary School ‘I don’t think it matters whether it’s a sporting organisation, a business or a charity, you still need to find a way to effectively lead people to where you want the organisation to go. Anyone can benefit from this program.’ Mark Evans, General Manager, Hawthorn Football Club ‘There are a lot of similarities between success in sport and business . The Leading Teams program challenged people and opened up previously closed communication channels.’ Allan Morris, Executive Director, RMIT University IT Department ‘Working with Leading Teams has been instrumental in equip- ping us with the capacity to cope with the huge impact of the bushfires on this organisation and this community.’ Bill Forrest, former CEO, Nillumbik Shire Council ‘Leading Teams helped us understand that each individual is accountable to the school as an organisation and to each other as members of the team. We now understand how powerful the collective capacity of the team is to improve outcomes for us all.’ Viki Miles, Principal, Trafalgar Primary School ‘Ray McLean is expert in assisting organisations to develop their culture and values. An outstanding facilitator and com- municator, he emphasises the importance of individuals taking responsibility and becoming leaders to achieve better team results.’ Brian Goorjian, the most successful coach in Australian basketball ‘[The Performance Improvement Program] is a very important part of what the players still do.

As I sat down to write it, I reflected that 2009 had been the most tumultuous period in my twenty- five years in local government. As CEO of Nillumbik Shire, situated on the north- eastern out- skirts of Melbourne, I’d started the year with a new council, the majority of whom were not on the previous council, although this is not an unusual occurrence. The seven new councillors between them had fourteen and a half years’ experience in local govern- ment and were charged with setting the strategic direction for a $65 million organisation with over 100 programs and services. Then came the 7 February bushfires, which burnt 25 per cent of the municipality and resulted in forty- one fatalities. One con- tractor (a former manager) died, and six staff members lost their homes. The majority of the staff live in Nillumbik or adjoining x FOREWORD municipalities, so everyone knew somebody who had been killed. In this atmosphere of grief and loss the organisation had to lift its performance to an unprecedented level with round-the- clock services in response to the tragedy. Then, to top it all off, at the end of the year the council decided not to give me another contract of employment as the CEO. So what’s all this got to do with Leading Teams? Well, I’d spent the previous four years working with Leading Teams to improve performance in our organisation. We’d chosen them not because I was an avid fan of football (explained by the fact that I barrack for Richmond), but because our HR manager had worked with them in a not- for- profit drug and alcohol agency. Leading Teams came in at a point where I’d recently been promoted to the position of CEO and most of my direct reports in management positions were new to the organisation. We pretty much had to build a new team, and I found Leading Teams’ prac- tical focus on behaviours and values to be the best glue to hold together such a diverse organisation. Over the next four years the management team worked very hard, and I firmly believe that this work has been critical in the high performance of the organisation in such a resource- constrained environment. We deliver a suite of services similar to most councils in the state, and do it 40 per cent more efficiently, both in terms of staff numbers and expenditure. Our work with Leading Teams also proved to be critical in the development of resilience in our organisation, something we discovered through the tragedies of 2009. The ability of our managers to have hard conversations with each other about their behaviour in a time of extreme anxiety and pressure was critical to an effective response to the tragedy. xi TEAM WORK I’m proud to say that we got through the year without one WorkCover claim for stress, despite the enormity of the task and the grief that individual members of staff were feeling in the lead- up to the first anniversary of the tragedy. The work we have done with Leading Teams has enabled both myself and my colleagues to grow personally and professionally, and for this I am most grateful. Bill Forrest, former CEO, Nillumbik Shire Council December 2009 xii INTRODUCTION The focus of my first book,Any Given Team, was to allow people to gain an insight into how Leading Teams, the business, came into being. In some ways the book was a self-indulgent project because it also enabled me to reflect on my personal journey. For that project there was little collaboration, other than with a hard- working editor, Paul Conroy. Without his work the book would not have seen the light of day. The concept of the second book really began at a staff meeting we conducted at Leading Teams in 2006. We were having some broad philosophical discussions about our business, its place in the market and our product, which we have named the Per- formance Improvement Program (PIP). Thanks to many tweaks over the years, it has become a way of transferring much of the responsibility within an organisation to the staff, or in the case of sporting teams, to the players. This is done through a process of 1 TEAM WORK empowerment, whereby a manager/leader/coach recognises that the rest of the team has a great deal of expertise and knowledge about the running of the team. At this point it is important to note that empowerment is not a fluffy, new age management theory, but is in fact a hard-edged philosophy about aggressively improving team and individual performance.

  • ON the TAKE T O N Y J O E L a N D M at H E W T U R N E R
    Scandals in sport AN ACCOMPANIMENT TO ON THE TAKE TONY JOEL AND MATHEW TURNER Contemporary Histories Research Group, Deakin University February 2020 he events that enveloped the Victorian Football League (VFL) generally and the Carlton Football Club especially in September 1910 were not unprecedented. Gambling was entrenched in TMelbourne’s sporting landscape and rumours about footballers “playing dead” to fix the results of certain matches had swirled around the city’s ovals, pubs, and back streets for decades. On occasion, firmer allegations had even forced authorities into conducting formal inquiries. The Carlton bribery scandal, then, was not the first or only time when footballers were interrogated by officials from either their club or governing body over corruption charges. It was the most sensational case, however, and not only because of the guilty verdicts and harsh punishments handed down. As our new book On The Take reveals in intricate detail, it was a particularly controversial episode due to such a prominent figure as Carlton’s triple premiership hero Alex “Bongo” Lang being implicated as the scandal’s chief protagonist. Indeed, there is something captivating about scandals involving professional athletes and our fascination is only amplified when champions are embroiled, and long bans are sanctioned. As a by-product of modernity’s cult of celebrity, it is not uncommon for high-profile sportspeople to find themselves exposed by unlawful, immoral, or simply ill-advised behaviour whether it be directly related to their sporting performances or instead concerning their personal lives. Most cases can be categorised as somehow relating to either sex, illegal or criminal activity, violence, various forms of cheating (with drugs/doping so prevalent it can be considered a separate category), prohibited gambling and match-fixing.

  • AFL Coaching Newsletter - April 2009
    AFL Coaching Newsletter - April 2009 THE NEW SEASON Most community football leagues around Australia kick off this weekend or immediately after Easter and NAB AFL Auskick Centres commence their programs in the next month. This newsletter focuses on a range of topics which are relevant to the commencement of the 2009 Australian Football season. PLAYING AND TRAINING IN HOT CONDITIONS The new season generally starts in warm to hot conditions and there is always a lift in intensity once the premiership season proper starts. Regardless of the quality of pre-season training programs, early games are usually more stressful and players and coaches should keep safety factors associated with high intensity exercise in warm conditions in mind – these include individual player workloads (use of the bench), hydration and sun sense. The following article by AIS/AFL Academy dietitian Michelle Cort provides good advice regarding player hydration. Toughen Up - Have a Drink! Why are so many trainers necessary on a senior AFL field and why they are constantly approaching players for a drink during a game? Obviously the outcome of not drinking enough fluid is dehydration. The notion of avoiding fluid during sport to ‘train’, ‘toughen’ or ‘adjust’ an athlete’s body to handle dehydration is extremely outdated & scientifically incorrect. Even very small amounts of dehydration will reduce an AFL player’s performance. Most senior AFL conditioning, nutrition and medical staff invest considerable time into ensuring the players are doing everything possible to prevent significant dehydration from occurring in training and games. The effects on performance are not limited to elite athletes.
