25.01.2022 I am giving a presentation in Microsoft Teams early next week. Anyone there a whizz on this? Love to hear from you, Rex 0407827173 #Teams #MicrosoftTeams

25.01.2022 Local gov’t - every day something shadey or silly! Meetings go well past midnight- unproductive unprofessional - Mostly inventing things to do. Monato Zoo govt deciding how many on a bus whilst busses around town are packed? Is it that hard it takes weeks?

24.01.2022 Has any one noticed that where a pronoun is needed, more and more often the female is used, eg an article about ORSC, "Human beings are complex, and a single person is a system unto herself,..." Some years ago I put forward the idea inventing a new system to get away from the male dominated him and he etc and that was He/she = se; him/her= hem. I had a group of these described. Equally I do not like the him/her alternative, which should go first? I do believe that part of breaking the male dominance is language BUT I do not think that is replacing he with her. #language #misogyny #sixism #leadership #harassment

22.01.2022 Prime Minister there is no need to be reactive, defensive about taking a holiday. You have a Deputy and various Ministers supposedly able?! You would be available by phone if needed. Everyone needs a break and there will always be a reason for you not to. Be solid!

22.01.2022 I wonder how many employees will thank their employer on return to work Tuesday for the gift of payment for the holiday. The employer looses the productivity & the pay. OK thats a cost to business but still a cost in tough times. Hopefully employees will at least appreciate that; be good to tell the boss, thanks.

19.01.2022 2020-2021 on our doorstep! Many businesses have been just focusing on survival and that was appropriate - we have never had to cope with circumstances such as we are currently moving THROUGH! Now is the time to be really looking at the business as it was, identifying opportunity & NOT going back to business as usual, because it will never be so again. Well, it might for some, for a short time BUT the world has changes new opportunities (and threats) abound. Its tie to be t...hinking about reaching out for additional thinking, thinking to compliment and challenge that of the business. It starts with a coffee, and a free no obligation feedback and then what ever comes of that, comes.

19.01.2022 Stop fees for businesses ordered to close. Obviously payroll tax, licensing fees & cost associated with running a business must stop as of March 2020 where businesses have been instructed in law to close. That must be announced immediately! The law changed, there is no business to tax. Tell them quickly, relieve the pain!

19.01.2022 So the Goverment & the owner of a known property with potential high flammable risk and it’s all ok so long as you tell people? Really. I think everyone has just admitted liability if there is a fire; you can’t escape liability with a warning notice. Vickie’s the AG as well!! Mmmm

19.01.2022 "Workers happier on home duties". This was always going to be a challenge, getting a right balance, people back to work places allowing for sharing, learning, identifying, being with others. Hearing converstions, asking questions, helping each other, preparing for succession, career development & much more. Somewhere clients can come & have a reasonable expectation of finding someone. One of the factors about being home (& ther are plenty of confronting factors) is being... away from lots of poor behaviour, from all around at all levels. To make the away from the home work place attractive, it is time to address those behaviours; not good enough to just allow, to say "we have tried everything but they really arent that bad", " they have a lot of redeeming attributes". Duty of care is real if not, not enough to make many managers take appropriaten action. Now is the time to find remedies that make the workplace an attractive place to be and then probably there is a balance that can be struck. Why not start with a survey to demonstrate to your team that you know there are some bumps at work and that these will be taken care of. New financial year, the virus allowing return to many of our standard ways, lets not return to the standard poor behaviours too often allowed to exist. #leadership #workfromhome #bullying #behaviour #profit #culture #survey See more

18.01.2022 China & their threats! Well didnt Australia start it by our, expect it to be received as threat, the inquiry. Just who is it that counsels / coaches/ mentors Govt? How about, lets look together at how we can all learn from what happened approach? Who told the Prime Minister to sneak out to Hawaii when the land was burning? Time & time again, immature advice. Something is missing here in advice receivers self belief! Who is bluffing who. Sad!

18.01.2022 Thankyou for https://www.facebook.com/probablytomfoolery/videos/925284527912453/?v=925284527912453 Will we learn much from our current situation AND if we do, will it sustain? I guess we all have to exhibit these new found, reminded values if we are to benefit into the future!

18.01.2022 Destined for War, Can America and the China escape the ‘Thucydides’ trap*? Graham Allison. An informative and chilling read, somewhat summarised as early as page 24/364 in China is sucking the Southeast Asian countries into their economic system because of the vast market and growing purchasing power. Japan and South Korea will inevitably be sucked in as well stop. It just absorbs countries without having to use force.. China’s growing economic sway will be very difficult to fight, or in the Chinese version of the golden rule: he who has the gold, rules. Whilst Australia wasn’t mentioned, it is clear we are experiencing that not just right now but have for some time! *‘Thucydides’ - an apparent tendency towards war when an emerging power threatens to displace an existing great power as the international hegemon.

18.01.2022 Intelligent disobedience (ID)- what is the hint to you and your team when ID is an opportunity? When you hear words like, NO, Cant, BUT - these are stop words and very often come when someone is talking outside the established paradigms. Said often enough the initiative and gut can be stamped out and in place, group think and pre-emptive think will grow. Thats not where to be in 2020, certainly not this 2020 with the new challenges being thrown at us each day, in fact each hour!

17.01.2022 Ive recently joined a group called BUSINESS HOUSE AUSTRALIA. Meeting 1st Tuesday of each month (11th February 1st meeting) the focus is on building business, networking, learning, advocating - thinking, motivated people wanting to make the most of their opportunities! Starts at 7.00am, finishes at 8.30am - a great breakfast (only half price for first four to make contact) Ring me and we cn make it happen - 0407827173

16.01.2022 Local govt - every day something shadey or silly! Meetings go well past midnight- unproductive unprofessional - Mostly inventing things to do. Monato Zoo govt deciding how many on a bus whilst busses around town are packed? Is it that hard it takes weeks?

16.01.2022 Want a holiday all expenses paid? Stow away on a train from Victoria or elsewhere and head to Adelaide. No downside apparently. Room service please!!!

16.01.2022 Maybe the biggest challenge for families and business this century, maybe ever? https://leadershipthinking.academy/achieving-a-culture-tha/ #leadership ##Success #newagelearning #failure #COVID19 #connection

14.01.2022 The Virus; long but worth the read! Dear Friends, this is advice given to hospital staff. Explains the virus and how to prevent the virus. Please share with family , friends and work colleagues. Cheers Internal email for RBH (Royal Brisbane Hospital) staff:...Continue reading

14.01.2022 Minneapolis! Who is kidding who! World wide there is still deep rooted divisions & its time those of us with white skin really adjusted our thinking. Im saying our; I think I am not prejudice; I think I do not have to try not to be because I have no personal sense of it. The officer and his onlookers arent necessarily evil although their act obviously is! The inbuilt need to be acceptable in our group, drives personal ability to resist evil behaviour in case the tid...e turns back against us to allow behaviours we would otherwise find repugnant. Never an excuse but the fear of personal reprisal is real! Any of those looking on at that time could have interceded or, if their knee had been on that neck, could have killed this person AND all will gather behind each other and result in stupid comments such as weve decided to focus on the individual NOT on the group who stood by! Yes, a disgrace; yes humanity at its weakest! See more

14.01.2022 The Virus and accommodations! Why not use the cruise ships, confined to your room in a hotel or cabin, not a lot different? The cruise companies will have huge holding costs!! Rushing to take them off to put them into another cabin?

14.01.2022 Fruit fly! Unbelievable we allow that as voluntary disposal. Some people would avoid on purpose most I suspect just dont treat it seriously! Such a small cost to keep our state uniquely free - such a huge cost as we fail. Cause & effect! Lack of sound leadership at Department of Primary Industries or Govt directive? Now in a costly recovery - sad! We didnt learn from history!

14.01.2022 Food, fast, at what cost?! Isnt the current Hungry Jack offer almost immortal? A bun filled with cheese, chips, bacon & mayo - really? $2.00! Subduction for so many! Crunchy thick cut chips, topped with crumbled bacon and drizzled with delicious cheesy sauce on a toasted sesame seed bun. Check it;scarey!

13.01.2022 "Workers happier on home duties". This was always going to be a challenge, getting a 'right' balance, people back to 'work places' allowing for sharing, learning, identifying, being with others.

12.01.2022 Coronavirus - self isolation! Dont wait to be diagnosed, prepare now! We all know its no joke so with family/friends, prepare now. What will you need in food of course but also nurture, books or balsa wood. What will keep you interested, allow others with you to have my time as well as together time. Make sure everyone can see their day & night as a plan; dont get caught wanting on day 2! NOW, today is the time to get this organised, furniture repaid materials, any materials that could be part of a project, games, etc Today, tomorrow may be too late!

12.01.2022 Is the purpose of C19 to reduce world pollution, cut infection by transmission of myriad diseases & reduce impacts we had largely given up on? The question then is as the C19 impact reduces, how do we recover our behaviour commercially & learn?

11.01.2022 What a shame the gross police act in Minneapolis USA results in gross acts of looting and civil disobedience! Shows up an underlying tension and lack of self recognition. If these black Americans ever want to be given more position it will be when the tackle these gross acts less emotionally. The act itself; unforgivable. Smoothing it over; despicable if not evil. But still, look to fix this shocking white group attitude - take it to them, dont depreciate yourselves with actions as like now.

11.01.2022 Right now it seems to me, SA could be on the edge of an incredible push forward if only we can develop more leadership behaviours and more robust thinking. The Associaiton of Strategic Planning Austrlia was launched last week and that could be, if it gets enough oxygen, a useful platform. The people of the associaiton do have to have energy and dynamics about thinking and leadership and implementaiton of strategies to make it worthwhile - not just another group / talkfest; I ...think they just might have! I wrote an article after the launch which is at https://lnkd.in/gUJRyuw also at https://lnkd.in/gbwJ_XC is an article about Intelligent Disobedience which I think is a very important concept if we actually do want to get up and run! This morning in the Advertiser there was an article about Marketing, they mentioned the 4 ps which you will all be familier with. Old and abdridged thinking, I have the 25ps! Thats about breakong free of the Price, Place, Promotion & Product for new thinking to come in.

10.01.2022 I am afraid that too often the impact of violence in the home and bullying in the workplace is such that the receiver looses their capacity to counter that behaviour, is disempowered. This feeling of powerlessness is further exacerbated by general community and womens groups where so much attention is focused on the perpetrator. There are strategies where the victim can have more influence but first the external focus of the problem has to change from the perpetrator to the... victims own responsibility and that that is actually a conversation. Feel fee to make contact to talk about this.

10.01.2022 Footy all codes wanting to get back into business for whose sake. Its a disgrace! Absolute Disobedience and self interest; horrific behaviour!

10.01.2022 Simon Birmingham - China. Why cant we approach the inquiry that must be undertaken from a how can we help you do the inquiry- we are your partners perspective rather than the rather bullish stance that has been taken where we would have known the responses that we have in fact got!

10.01.2022 C19 - There are now more cases of Covid-19 from the Ruby Princess outside NSW than within the NSW state. Imagine, without this, the impact on Australia would be sooo much less; maybe not even requiring all these millions/billions to be spent! Just imagine! Analyse the major impact areas, Barossa Valley in SA, such a big impact! We had better identify the lessons out of this because it has brought the nation to its knees now and for sometime in the future!

09.01.2022 He owes tax $1,254,052.67 - transfers $200k out of the business, owes who knows how much else and the fine, well not even a fine, just a $500 bond and no managing for 5 years?? How can that possibly be fair?

09.01.2022 Minneapolis! Who is kidding who! World wide there is still deep rooted divisions & it’s time those of us with white skin really adjusted our thinking. I’m saying ‘our’; I think I am not prejudice; I think I do not have to try not to be because I have no personal sense of it.

07.01.2022 I mentioned to a friend about a potential opportunity and he mentioned it to his agent and a sale was made. The agent - RayWhite Glenelg, Adam Keane, rang me and thanked me and then dropped off this gift basket in appreciation. Further more they bought the basket from White Riboon, supporting a great cause. Good business Ray White! #excellence #sales #Realestate #professional #topperformer #raywhite #AdamKeane

Business House Australia is a relatively new voice offering Promotion of your business, Networking, Training & Coaching as well as Advocacy!

04.01.2022 Im not sure where this came from but it is worth reading right through - a great road map to a calm and respectful life. A life where the doer will receive bountiful rewards; will benefit fromThe Law of Reciprocity and it basically says that when someone does something nice for you, you will have a deep-rooted psychological urge to do something nice in return. This concept is, good neighbour, great family person, and serious Leadership pathway.

03.01.2022 INTEGRITY IN QUESTIONS - Advertiser front page 17.7.20 - What a challenge! Disability - not to make light of it, one could label bullies as psychologically disabled. Now is the time for managers to become leaders; only most of them dont know what the difference is; or if they did, what to do to make the shift! It is of paramount importance. People leave the workplace daily, devalued - rebounding impacts on family & self. The problems within the disability sector - the Ann Ma...rie Smith tragedy WOULD have never happened if Leaders were leading, managers were not just making the $$ work. Workplace accidents happen because people become disconnected and MUCH of that is about bullying environments. I am a liberal voter, but this is a non-partisan emergency and the government need to think more widely that just throwing money around. Cause and effect says that unless we tackle the leadership void, then NDIS will continue to be stressed as will the workers & recipients and funds. In SA we even knocked down a bulding because of bad behaviour / outcomes then transfered the people to a new one - same workers and people new building. Who is kiddig who. Same audits show same outcomes - lack of leaderhip isnt noted as the cause, just blame and fault HANDED AROUND. #bullying #decisionmaking #Leadership #foolishthinking #intergity #ndis #disability #hope #hopeless

03.01.2022 Nothing is going to change as long as we have these convoluted teaching notes and aids. It seems too often lots of pages is supposed to equal quality - no, it confuses, particularly overseas students. There is core information needing to transmitted & it doesnt need to be in academic language!

03.01.2022 This is all somewhat missing the point with Rathjen! There would have been many people who knew his habits and did nothing; fear of reprisal and disconnection makes people act anti core value! There is more to look for than just sex intimidation.

03.01.2022 Woh! Unintended positive consequences. Maybe we shouldnt be too hasty in disassembling the Perspex barriers and the distancing rules or at least being a whole lot more aware of others who are not well! An amazingly positive outcome mustnt be lost.

02.01.2022 A brand new, not so lovely, day is upon us! Coming from someone who has experienced the ups and downs of business, let me tell you, DO NOT MAKE BIG DECISIONS QUICKLY without sounding board them to someone who is not emotionally connected you. Unintended consequences will get you every time. Im offering a FREE phone chat, no obligation but a very experienced ear. 0407827173 Unintended consequences will get you every time. Too many decisions made cannot be turned back. hashtag#survival hashtag#coronavirus hashtag#Unintended consequences hashtag#toolate

02.01.2022 Excite your groups thinking! Get away from NO, CANT, BUT etc and old paradigms. Intelligent Disobedience! (ID) ID is actually a new approach to problem solving and decision making. Given that our established paradigms run our lives, the paradigms of our thinking formalised in policies and procedures that ensure our paradigms are safely locked in, that everyone one knows this is what and how we think. That we will think within and through that, locking those ideas outside, ou...t! The opportunity then is in making thinking outside safe to do; in fact making it unsafe to only consider thoughts inside. I have used Edward deBono thinking such as the Six Thinking Hats to do this successfully in the past. The application of various hats outside those being accessed by individuals, even requiring identification of solutions that come from different hats to demonstrate to people that there are different ways to solve a specific problem, open a new opportunity. Another deBono saying is always look for three answers, dont be satisfied with one or two - in my experience the big answers are outside the paradigm, outside the competition.
