Exploring leadership...

What do we mean when we use the term "leadership?" 

To be an effective leader, it is important to understand the dynamics that support and sustain leadership.  Tania has developed 3 core models designed to engage leaders' thinking so that they can apply insights into their own practice of leadership.

Leadership Model

Inspired by four paradoxes at work in Australian Culture identified by Aigner and Skelton ("The Australian Leadership Paradox: What it Takes to Lead in the Lucky Country") Tania’s leadership model explores the effect of the dynamic relationship  between trust, authority, leadership and culture.

Build a rocket

Tania proposes that trust is foundational, authority is critical, leadership is essential, and culture is a prevailing force that all organisations need to reckon with.


Informed by the work of Ronald Heifetz ("Adaptive Leadership"), this model seeks to explain the component parts necessary for the functioning of effective leadership. 

A perspective on Australian culture

Understanding Australia’s history - from pre-colonisation to multiculturalism is key to understanding how Australians view and respond to different styles of leadership.  This model is an invitation to consider the impact of national culture: to understand what holds Australian people captive and the obstacles that leaders need to name and overcome in order to help leaders frame communities with the potential to flourish.
