What does it really take to build a team that performs under pressure without burning people out?

In this episode of Behind the Numbers: The Leadership Series, Sadhana Smiles is joined by Drew Ginn OAM, four-time Olympian, triple Olympic gold medallist, member of Australia’s legendary Oarsome Foursome and General Manager of Marshall White Bayside.

Drew shares what he learned when, at just 21, he joined an established championship crew and had to earn trust, find his place and learn how four ambitious individuals could move as one.

The conversation explores the less visible side of elite performance: honest feedback, shared accountability, recovery, injury and the personal cost of constantly striving to be the best. Drew also challenges the belief that high performance means operating at 100 per cent every day. People are not machines, and sustainable success requires leaders to understand when to push, when to reset and what each person needs to perform.

Today, Drew applies those lessons inside real estate. He discusses how he builds team culture at Marshall White Bayside, develops people across every role and creates an environment where performance and wellbeing strengthen one another.

Behind the Numbers: The Leadership Series is presented in partnership with the RISE Initiative, working to improve mental health and wellbeing across the real estate industry.
