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.

They first met at a café in Richmond in Melbourne, and Jack and Shane admit, it was connection at first sight. The pair realised straight away that they shared a passion for leadership, growth and a fascination for people and their stories. What began as a professional relationship at the Richmond Football Club, turned into a friendship and partnership co-hosting TWO AM I.

Adam Ferrier: Building a brand, nurturing creativity, and embracing the unconventional

Adam Ferrier has spent his life trying to understand people, and how to capture their attention. A consumer psychologist by trade, he wrote his master’s thesis on what makes some people “cool” and others not.

The founder of creative agency Thinkerbell, Adam believes that brands and people must first “fit in” with the rules of their category before they can truly be distinctive and stand out. He prioritises creativity, and nurturing amongst his team, his work, and every day life.

Consistently challenging conventions, Adam is a true creative leader, and whether you consider yourself a creative or not, his unconventional methods could change the way you show up and lead.
