Ever wondered how a knack for systems and structures can propel you towards leadership success? This episode presents the insightful journey of Joel A'bell, an accomplished leader in the not-for-profit space. From his early career days exploring the transport industry divisions to now holding prominent roles in the faith and not-for-profit sectors, Joel's journey is a testament to the power of well-honed skills and adaptability. His secret? Harnessing the power of systems and structures that were unlocked at university.

Beyond his professional journey, Joel and I engage in a thought-provoking exploration of leadership. Picture this - a workplace where people are not shoehorned into unsuitable roles but are empowered to use their gifts and strengths. Sounds refreshing, right? Joel and I discuss how this approach not only revolutionises workplaces but also strengthens succession planning. And the secret sauce to this leadership style? Parenting! We propose that good leadership should resemble good parenting, aiming for the team to outshine the leader.

As we wrap up our conversation, we touch on some pertinent societal issues - the challenges facing Australian families and the rise of individualism. We delve into how the family unit is becoming increasingly individualised and why it's crucial to maintain strong family ties. The conversation takes an even deeper turn as we discuss the power of community engagement through Convoy of Hope, a humanitarian organisation that Joel is involved with. From providing clothes to survivors of domestic violence to addressing food insecurity, Joel gives us a peek into the life-changing work they do. This episode is a melting pot of leadership insights, career development tips, and the power of community engagement. Join us and be part of this enriching conversation.
