"Flow is a path that anyone can take towards accelerated learning, increased focus and higher performance" according to multi-time best selling author and researcher of superhumans Steven Kotler. Technically defined as an “optimal state of consciousness where we feel our best and perform our best,” the term flow takes its name from the sensation it confers. Other terms you may have heard for flow including 'getting in the zone' or 'peak state', and although often associated with extreme sports, flow is equally relevant to corporate athletes. As reported by Kotler in HBR, following a 10-year McKinsey study "top executives reported being five times more productive in flow. This means, if you can spend Monday in flow, you’ll get as much done as your steady-state peers do in a week."

After almost six years of low inflation, underlying price pressures started to intensify midway through 2021. A tight labour market, spurred on by low interest rates and record amounts of government spending, has boosted demand for goods and services across sectors, which is coinciding with supply chain disruptions and higher shipping prices. Many multinationals have already put through price increases but were they sufficient, how were they received by the market, and are more to come? Please join us with your CEO, CFO, Head of Pricing (or equivalent) for this discussion about pricing strategy lead by Chris Petzoldt, the global partner and local managing director of pricing strategist firm Simon-Kucher.

We know the world of work has changed dramatically over the last two years but what does that mean for HR in the world of multinationals? • What new skills and mindframes are required and which are becoming redundant? • Has the positioning and power of HR changed for the better or worse as a result of the pandemic? • How can you best prepare yourself for a successful HR career in multinationals given all the change? These questions and many more will be answered by three of Australia’s leading multinational HR Directors at a special online event exclusively for multinational HR teams, i.e. the Australian & New Zealand HR teams of global companies headquartered overseas. This event is free to attend and provides a preview of the new Tenfold HR community launching this July 2022. Tenfold HR is a new service designed to fast track the development, alignment and impact of multinational HR practitioners and the HR profession at large.

With an election looming, this Dialogue will look at what the key issues are for both parties and the implications of the mood in the electorate for the next Australian Federal Government. We have assembled a panel representing the broad political spectrum with Andrew Humpherson, CEO and Managing Director of conservative focussed Government Relations firm Barton Deakin; Peter Lewis, Director of left leaning Communications and Research firm Essential Media; and Jennifer Hewett, National Affairs columnist for the AFR, who writes about this subject daily. Against a backdrop of so many uncontrollable events ranging from Covid-19, natural disasters, global uncertainty, a European war, increasing inflation and rising interest rates and those that can be managed including climate policy, fiscal policy, healthcare, education and industrial relations. Can Scott Morrison repeat the “miracle”? Can Anthony Albanese convince the public he’s PM material? Will the Independents derail the results for both? Is the public jaded with Government in general and just wants a change, or can they be bothered? Join us as we explore these and other election related topics and explore the impact that the election result will have on your business and give you the context to share with your head office. We look forward to hearing your views and capturing the sentiment that you are observing from across your teams. Attendee list: https://events.tenfoldaustralia.com/Z1Xzzw

“The world has changed but for many their approach to leadership is stuck in the past. We need a new form of leadership for a new era. While it might be natural to experience these swirling currents of change as a threatening force to be survived or an inconvenience to be managed, those who will lead us into the future see complexity as the natural state of the world. These leaders use the forces of change to cultivate new possibilities for their people, their organisations, their communities, and the environment.   Conversely, leaders stuck in the past typically display one or more of five pernicious and pervasive mindtraps, according to Jennifer Garvey Berger, who supports leaders across the globe to thrive in complexity as the CEO of Cultivating Leadership. Jennifer is the author of three books, Changing on the job: Developing Leaders for a Complex World, Simple Habits for Complex Times: Powerful Practices for Leaders (written with Keith Johnston) and Unlocking Leadership Mindtraps: How to Thrive in Complexity.   Please join us with your country management team for this very relevant Tenfold Australia Masterclass with Jennifer who will help your team to unlock the five mindtraps (simple stories, rightness, agreement, control, ego.) and thrive in these times of complexity. 0:00 Intro 3:23 Who is Jennifer Garvey Berger 4:42 Jennifer's observations during this complex time 9:25 Mindtrap 1: Simple stories 11:02 Mindtrap 2: Rightness 12:54 Mindtrap 3: Agreement 15:58 Mindtrap 4: Control 17:26 Mindtrap 5: Ego 29:12 Audience question 1: Karl Durrance, the MD for ANZ at Stripe 31:52 Audience question 2: Deborah Ellison, Director, Strategic Planning APAC at AMEX GBT 36:52 Audience question 3: Anish Singh, Head of HR ANZ at Unilever 39:50 Practical tips to help us unlock the mindtraps 44:01 The importance of gratitude & wonder 45:32 Tips for multinational leaders to help unlock HQ from the 5 mindtraps 50:11 Three reflection questions from Jennifer for your top team to unpack

Burnout is a 'we' problem" Our ongoing focus on rebooting productivity took a more personal perspective this week during our monthly Masterclass. We interviewed global burnout expert Jennifer Moss, best selling author of 'The Burnout Pandemic'. In Australia alone poor mental health costs our economy over $200b per year, according to the Productivity Commission. The toll on lives is even greater with work being the fifth biggest cause of death in the USA. During this discussion we Jen we explored both the tactics the individual can adopt in taking responsibility for self care, as well as the critical role leaders play in alleviating the six major organisational causes of burnout. To fast track you to the sections of this Masterclass of most interest we have added bookmarks this month, as detailed below (can you add hyperlinks for each?).

In his first public appearance since being asked by Treasurer Josh Frydenberg to conduct its second five yearly Productivity Review, Australia’s Productivity Commissioner, Michael Brennan, joins Tenfold Australia for our February Dialogue. In the session Michael shared his initial thoughts and then took in input and guidance on the issues confronting multi nationals, this will help frame his thinking for the year long review process. The Treasurer has asked the Commission to analyse Australia’s productivity performance and identify priority areas for reform, including data and digital innovation and workforce skills. It will also consider how the COVID-19 pandemic and our response have shaped Australia’s productivity challenges and opportunities. https://www.pc.gov.au/inquiries/current/productivity/terms-of-reference Prior to this Dialogue with Michael RBC chief economist, Su-Lin Ong, discussed her views on the outlook for the local economy and explore the impact of potential productivity improvements on economic activity.

Masterclass: Exemplary Leadership The pandemic has changed much about the world of work, especially for leaders. For example, leaders are increasingly expected to not only manage performance but also well-being, moving from the role of coach to that of counsellor as well. But not everything has changed. The core practices of extraordinary leadership have proven to be pandemic proof. On that basis any leader wishing to future proof their leadership effectiveness would do well to know what these practices are. To kick start our Masterclass series for 2022 we are joined by globally renowned author, researcher, and educator Jim Kouzes, Fellow of the Doerr Institute for New Leaders at Rice University. Jim co-authored The Leadership Challenge with Barry Posner, 35 years ago. It has now sold nearly 3 million copies and been translated into 20+ languages. Few leadership books have stood the test of time like The Leadership Challenge, and data collected during the pandemic further validated the potency of The Five Practices® that define exemplary leadership. Please join us for this conversation with Jim about how everyday people can become extraordinary leaders.
