Barry Bloch, Boyden Partner, and long-serving Executive and Non-Executive at several listed, for-profit private and for-purpose organisations, drops into the pod to discuss his recent series of leadership articles aimed at challenging leaders to grow another level in a COVID-19 world. Barry serves as an Executive and Head of Organisational Transformation in the Victorian public health service and has seen first-hand the extraordinary dedication of the healthcare service over the last six months. This experience, along with his consulting, board and not-for-profit roles, has given him a comprehensive understanding of how COVID-19 is impacting organisations, leaders and society at large. “COVID-19 is unequivocally unprecedented; certainly not in a century, since the Second World War, have we seen anything like this that has societally fractured the whole globe,” he says. “It has triggered for me some fundamental thinking around questions like: how do we lead through this, can we use knowledge and experience from the past, what new things do we need to do, and how do we pivot as leaders, employees and members of society?” This inspired Barry to write a series of leadership articles answering these questions. The first three reflections in the series delve into the need for boards to play a more pro-active, contributory role, steps for emotional response and recovery, and why leaders must “Listen Loudly” in our fractured society. When asked if anything could have prepared him to deal with what he has witnessed over the past six months, Barry is clear that he believes we each have the tools we need – we just have to know how to use them. “It’s important to recognise the skills you already have as an individual. We’ve all confronted life challenges and distressing situations in the past. The real issue is not whether we need new skills, it’s whether we can industrialise or magnify the skills we have to the scale and speed of COVID-19,“ says Barry. “It’s now time to use all those skills we have developed over our lives and to use every single one of them. It’s not about learning new skills; it’s about owning your old ones.” Boyden's Leadership Matters podcast series is the brainchild of Boyden Australia's Allan Marks and Alun Parry, exploring what makes an effective leader by interviewing Australian leaders to find out what makes them tick and the advice they would give to aspiring senior leaders.

Non-Executive Director Worley Parsons Ltd. and Orora Ltd., former Global CEO Brambles Ltd and President & CEO Ford Australia Tom Gorman, drops into the pod to discuss his illustrious 30+ year career and what he considers to be the top factors that help to achieve success as an executive in Australia today. Born and raised in the USA, Gorman reflects on the personal connection he has always felt to Australia and the nexus between the two countries, as well as the key qualities he has developed and advocated for since his first job at 15: professionalism, commitment and passion. Joining the Ford headquarters in Melbourne early in his career, Gorman progressed to become the President and CEO of Ford Australia, which for him, was a dream come true. Throughout his time at Ford, he embraced every challenge, believing it’s all part of the experience. He advises others to do the same – always striving to gain exposure to different ways of doing things and to never stop learning. With ongoing technological development forming one of today’s greatest business challenges, Gorman underscores the importance of building the right team to keep pace with these changes and the need to maintain diversity of thought, founded on a willingness to accept feedback and actively question the norms. Gorman embodied this philosophy when he made the move to Brambles after 20 years at Ford, which gave him the opportunity to continue his personal and professional growth.

Michael Ebeid AM, CEO & Managing Director of SBS and 2017 CEO of the Year, drops into the pod to talk about his career journey, the challenges faced by Australian businesses, and the importance of culture and purpose in leading a business. As one of Australia’s foremost leaders and role models in the media and communications sector, Ebeid is currently the longest serving CEO of any free-to-air network in Australia, having joined SBS in 2011. SBS has since made significant strides, with revenue doubling under Ebeid’s stewardship and lucrative properties like the Tour de France and the FIFA World Cup secured on long-term deals. While his career may have started off in humble fashion (with Ebeid’s first job being in his local supermarket, as is the case with so many), a formative period in IBM’s graduate programme led to a decade long stint with the technology giant. From here, Ebeid joined the then-unknown Optus, eventually taking over its pay TV arm, which was his pathway into the media industry.
