The true difference between leaders and managers comes down to ethics. Managers may make the ‘right’ choice, or the popular choice. 

Leaders push past standard customs and practices, and will follow their moral code to make decisions.

Dr Simon Longstaff, Executive Director of The Ethics Centre, has structured his life around philosophy and ethics, after it was modelled to him by his mother when he was just a child, and continued during his early career on Groote Eylandt.

True leadership is not about living and modelling a perfect ethical life, there is no such thing, but making conscious choices that align with core values, and sometimes that takes enormous moral courage.

If you had to grab two things from a burning building, what would you choose?

 

Co-hosted by Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry, TWO AM I is redefining modern leadership, one convo at a time. We invite extraordinary individuals to tell their story through two objects. Big or small, trinket or treasure. Two things that explain who they are, and what matters to them.

 

Think of us like a supermarket for knowledge: tune in, grab what you need, then apply it in your everyday life. From sports champs to journalists. Builders to coaches. CEOs to musos. These are the fresh takes on leadership that don’t usually make the headlines.

 

Listen Curiously.

TWO AM I

We are all collectors by nature, holding onto things that are important to us throughout life. Some may have a deep significance, others might be trivial or reveal a hidden talent, but all have a special meaning behind or within them that reflect where we have been, who we are now and who we will become.This is the essence of TWO AM I – an adventure of stories, told through the lens of two personal items. Each episode hosts Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry chat to extraordinary people about their two special items, their climb of the mountain – and the ups and downs of life – to learn how those moments have shaped who each person really is.

Dr Simon Longstaff: The Moral Courage of Ethical Leadership

This episode discusses difficult themes and mentions of suicide and self-harm. If you or someone you know needs support, please contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or beyondblue.org

Tim Rogers is a presence. Both on and off stage.

You may be aware of his illustrious career in music and entertainment spanning four decades.

Although he may be the iconic frontman who is instantly recognisable and bears the most criticism, he does not consider himself the leader, but a member who knows his place in the group.

But behind that on stage persona is a highly introspective, curious and intelligent individual, who champions the power of noticing, which is reflected in his music and art.

Through fiction books, putting pen to paper, and noticing the small things, Tim has found survival and the sparks of creativity which have kept him creating for a lifetime.

Tim Rogers: The Frontman of the Band, But Not the Leader

This episode deals with difficult themes. If this episode has raised any issues for you, in Australia you can contact Lifeline by phone on 13 11 14.

A difficult childhood does not need to define your future or your pathway. After struggling to find solid ground at times throughout her childhood, Sandra Heriot has learnt the importance of nurturing young people and leading with love.

The psychologist, adventurer and ultramarathon runner leaves her footprint on every path she has walked, and saying yes to opportunities that have fallen her way, has led her to walking (or running) many different paths.

A strong-values leader who leads with kindness, she believes a rising tide lifts all boats and is now driven by her own experience to bring healing and empowerment to others.

There are no shortcuts to growth, and we must do hard things, but we can also lend a hand to those around us during the difficult periods in their life.

Dr Sandra Heriot: Leading with heart and saying “yes” to every opportunity

“You are a conversation away from changing your life.” More than philosophy, but a core purpose in Damon Klotz’s teaching and life.

The former Work Culture Evangelist at Culture Amp decided to not small and take the leap by sitting front row during the technology boom in Silicon Valley.

Klotz has spent his career at the intersection of people and technology, and preaches that true culture is not defined by mission statement, but by the behaviours we witness accept, and promote.

Whether we hold a leadership title or not, for most of us, all that is required is the courage to engage in conversation.
