Kate Driver, CEO of IPAA ACT and co-founder and board member of the CoRE Learning Foundation joins us to discuss 22nd-century leaders. While she may not have a crystal ball to predict the skills a 5-year-old will need to thrive in a 22nd-century workforce, she does offer fascinating perspectives and insights drawn from both her public sector career and her lived experiences. Through her work with teenagers in her charity, she explores what they want from leaders today and how many question or reject the long-standing assumptions about the world of work that have persisted for generations. Listen in as Kate moves beyond the excitement of science fiction hype to provide pragmatic insights on the jobs and industries of the future, framing the importance of sustaining and improving life for humans at scale.

Thriving in Uncertainty – Episode Four, Part One
In part one, we delve into the components of a growth mindset and integrity within the APS with Dr Rachel Bacon, Deputy Commissioner of Integrity, Reform, and Enabling Services at the Australian Public Service Commission. Rachel explains how the literature on high-potential leaders has evolved over the past decade: once focused on high IQ as the primary predictor of leadership potential, the emphasis has shifted toward the importance of a growth mindset. Rachel also discusses how a growth mindset is closely tied to learning agility, which involves curiosity, openness, and a willingness to continuously learn. This openness to new experiences transcends culture, age, and gender.
