Head Coach, John Longmire has been pivotal to the evolution of AFL team, the Sydney Swans. From the beginning he understood the importance of player empowerment and honest conversations. He also knew that a framework or roadmap was required, not just to achieve success on the field, but as a guide back from failure and loss.

The Swans’ story is one that acknowledges the club’s heritage, that allows not only the players but club stakeholders and fans to stand on the mighty foundations of the early years – and to look forward - to strengthen and grow the team every day, into the high performers that they are.

John is in discussion with Ray McLean, Founder of Leading Teams, who’s been on the Swan's journey with John from the start.

A Roadmap for All Seasons with John Longmire, Sydney Swans

When Colm Maguire arrived at the Pharmacy Guild of Australia as COO, he realised the team culture wasn’t quite as described. Colm is a driven and loyal character with a long history of building successful team dynamics with the help of Leading Teams. So, it wasn’t long before he brought them into the Guild and got to work on building trust, ownership, compassion, and high performance.

Mel-Sykes Bridge, now HR Director at the Guild, echoes those initial misgivings, but today, along with Colm are part of a formidable team that has completely turned the tide, demonstrating high rates of success internally and externally.

A prescription for peak performance with Colm Maguire & Mel Sykes-Bridge, TPGA

Matt O’Connell has been in the pipeline industry since 1986. As President of NACAP Australia, he understands all too well that it’s a high-risk industry, for people and the environment.

So, when NACAP was taken over in 2013 by Qanta, it provided an opportunity for the business to not only explore greener operations but to build a stronger sense of culture, as the company took on this new phase under new management.

Matt began working with Leading Teams Facilitator Justin Peckett just before the acquisition and they explore how change on this scale injected new life into the business.

Don’t risk culture in a high-risk industry,  with Matt O'Connell, Nacap

Bringing private sector learnings into a government environment can be advantageous, especially if the person has a career's worth of customer-focused roles. Tash Tobias is just that kind of person, a leader who understands not just what customers need, but how to build teams that work well together, in order to deliver the best customer service.

Tash met challenges at Brisbane City Council, familiar to many businesses - siloed staff, lack of support amongst the team, and more. But it was during the time that Tash and her team were working with Martine Harkin, Facilitator at Leading Teams, on repairing communication, cohesion, and performance, that an even bigger challenge hit. 

The Brisbane floods of 2021/2022. Tash and Martine are discussing how the team grew and excelled over this time but not before doing some serious work internally.
