How many times have we said at work “we’re not saving lives”?  It’s a valid way to relieve tension and pressure.  But if you were, actually, saving lives, would your leadership be different?   Global human rights advocate Liz Broderick has a background as a successful businesswoman, and her leadership then is the same as it is now: a blend of courage, kindness and a singular ability to listen to the other side in order to drive transformation.    Within a day she’ll work between women in refugee camps, global leaders, the UN and her own 270-strong CEO group Male Champions of Change.   She’s been the creator of a highly-profitable major law firm practice, Australia’s longest-serving Sex Discrimination Commissioner and is now Chair-Rapporteur on women’s rights for the UN.   She says: “when I get up to advocate for change, it’s not just me, it’s me fuelled by thousands of instances of inequality I’ve witnessed.”    She’ll change the way you think about leadership, and her approach is available to all of us: while we may not be saving lives, how we lead matters.
