As a leader in your practice, would you like to be more productive, more innovative and less stressed? Would you like to have more engaged and happier staff, and be more agile and adaptable in practice? Please join the ACA NSW/ACT branch committee and Michael Lewarne from Unmeasured for an informative face-to-face presentation about mindful leadership and its impacts in practice.

There are three myths about leadership that may be holding back your practice:

1. Leadership is about power

2. Leaders are born not made

3. Extroverts are better leaders

Michael will bust all three myths and show you the difference between leadership, management and power. You’ll also learn how you can become a better leader so you’re more empowered, engaged, and can better support your team.

Typical challenges include inefficiencies and a lack of time, poor staff utilisation and engagement, and difficulties adapting to change (legislated, environmental, technological). Michael will address how these challenges are conquered through more distributed leadership. It’s a less hierarchical model that’s the future of practice – helping architects find more time, maximise the collective energy, passion and capabilities of its people, and adapt to a changing practice climate.

If you’re ready to level up your architectural practice, it all starts with better leadership!
