Eleanor Brown: The new definition of high performance at work (CIC)
Date: 15 May 2024
As our world of work becomes more complex and interconnected, the traditional leadership playbook for fostering high performance is no longer sufficient.
Leaders are recognising that the challenges teams, organisations and communities face today are increasingly adaptive in nature. They’re often hard to define, and they require experimentation and the involvement of teams and those an organisation serves to find a path through. Nowhere is this more true than in the community sector.
Join Eleanor Brown, the leader of McKinsey & Company’s social impact practice for Australia and New Zealand, as she explores what leaders can do to build and sustain a culture of high performance across their teams and organisations to thrive in the face of adaptive challenges.

What's a Webinar?
A Webinar is a seminar that's conducted over the internet.
Viewers watch a remote presentation on their own screens at a set broadcast time and can participate by typing and submitting questions they would like answered by the presenter.
Our Webinars are recorded and a copy is sent out to every registrant by default. So if you aren't able to watch the Webinar live at the scheduled time, you don't need to do anything - we'll send you a copy you can watch at your own pace on your own screen.
Why Webinars work
You'll learn at a time that suits you
If you can't join us at the scheduled time, we will automatically send you a recording you can watch at your own pace.
You can ask your burning questions
Our Webinars include a 45-minute presentation followed by a 15 minute interactive Q&A session where you'll call the shots. You do so by typing your questions during the Webinar.
You don't need an IT degree
There's no complicated software involved. You just need a reliable internet connection to participate. We'll email you instructions at each step too. Simple!
