How leaders respond in a crisis. Plus: one remarkable CEO journey

Keeping your contracts up to date can protect your business, while building trust with your team can make all the difference when a crisis hits.

As a business grows, its contracts don’t always keep up. Business Lawyer Tracey Mylecharane, Founder of TM Legal Atelier, explains how outdated client agreements can affect payment, expectations and scope creep. She also identifies the documents business owners should review as their services and teams change.

Then Paul McFarlane, Managing Director of Responder Care, explains why an emergency plan alone cannot carry a team through a crisis. He shares how leaders can build the trust that helps people speak up and support one another when it matters most.

Keeping contracts current and preparing people for a crisis

A dairy farmer turns drought into a tourism opportunity, while a business leader discovers why being the key decision maker can hold a business back.

A drought prompted dairy farmers Julian and Dianne Benson to look again at the visitors passing their property in Cooriemungle, on the way to the Twelve Apostles. That decision led to Apostle Whey Cheese. Julian shares how the business has changed over two decades, why its location mattered, and what helped him keep going when tourism and sales fell during COVID.

Then Simone Milasas, founder of Joy of Business and author of the book of the same name, explores a challenge familiar to many owners: becoming the person every decision runs through. She explains how her approach to hiring changed when she began looking for people who could do parts of the business better than she could.

A destination dairy farm and knowing when to let go

September’s interest rate rise puts more pressure on struggling business owners, while avoiding difficult conversations can create problems of its own.

Following the RBA’s September rate rise to 4.6 per cent, CreditorWatch Chief Economist Ivan Colhoun explains why the economic outlook is more complicated than a straightforward slowdown. He explores how the AI investment boom could keep inflation elevated while creating opportunities for some businesses, and what small businesses can do to prepare for tougher conditions.

Then author and Junkee co-founder Tim Duggan explains how to approach workplace conflict without letting it damage relationships. Drawing on his new book, Clear in Tension, he shares a practical framework for difficult conversations and asks owners to consider the cost of leaving important things unsaid.
