FORMER CEO of Ramsay Health Care Patrick Grier heads up an impressive roster of business leadership experts presenting at the Southern Cross University (SCU) Business Insights seminar this month.
Hosted by the university’s Graduate College of Management, the latest seminar will focus on leadership and features guest lectures from Grier, associate professor Peter Miller of SCU and associate professor Carol Dalglish of the QUT School of Management.
Grier is a recipient of the Order of Australia and is recognised as one of the country’s leading CEOs.
He continues to play a corporate role as a director of major Australian companies including Ramsay Health and Prime Media and is also chair of Southern Cross University’s Foundation Board.
Grier says he will be sharing some of the keys to success at the Business Insights evening.
“Leadership is the most important ingredient for a successful organisation, especially in tough times,” he says.
“Good leadership creates a culture where everybody gives everything they can to ensure the success of the organisation.
“Leadership is the glue that holds everything together, and it’s the leader that creates the future for the organisation.”
Dalglish and Miller will be providing specific insights into leadership in the Asia-Pacific area and will also use the event to launch their new co-written book Leadership: Understanding its Global Impact.
“Most resources available on leadership in this country are adaptations of American or European books on the topic,” says Miller.
“We are very proud that our book is the first truly comprehensive book on leadership in Australasia. Leadership here is very different to leadership in America and elsewhere and we are hoping to share knowledge that Australian leaders can identify with more closely.”
The event will take place on March 10 at Southern Cross University’s new Gold Coast campus at Bilinga.
