In 2015, The Entourage was listed as the 4th Best Place to Work in Australia by Great Places to Work and BRW Magazine.

Organisational leaders who are able to achieve great things are those who have developed an ability to touch the hearts and minds of others. This ability is called leadership, and its essence is greatly misunderstood.

Culture is about uniting around a purpose. It is about a group of people collectively sharing and working towards a vision. It is about creating an environment that inspires and enables people to do their life’s best work. It is about purposefully creating an environment with teams of people who understand the importance of what’s being done and therefore demand of one another that every single person performs and contributes. It challenges, demands, invites and enables every member of the team to continuously be growing into the best version of themselves.

Contrary to conventional thinking, culture is not about bean bags, bicycles and fireman’s poles. These are gimmicks that often serve only to detract from the true essence of an organisation. Culture goes far beyond the eye candy the media hold up as ‘great culture’. Don’t be fooled. Go deeper.

Great leadership needs to be ingrained into the DNA of the organisation, in order to drive sustained performance. In this presentation, Jack Delosa outlines how to:

- Discover the purpose inherent in your organisation or team
- Craft your vision so that your people understand your ‘why’ and are inspired towards its achievement
- Develop your mission so that your people understand what the future looks like and who they need to become in order to contribute
- Capture and embody the principles that govern and guide who you and your team must be along the way
- How to manage and lead according to the key behavioural principles that work in today’s world

In this interactive and entertaining workshop, Jack Delosa dissects what truly differentiates top performers from the rest of the field.?

Through reflecting on his own journey of hardship and adversity, while also drawing from thousands of studies, Jack outlines the five keys to human excellence and great performance.

As one of Australia’s leading and most disruptive entrepreneurs, Jack Delosa has developed principles over his career that enable organisations to innovate effectively. Innovation is not about shallow incentives or surface level initiatives, but real innovation is driven by a need to rethink the future and must be underpinned by sound judgement.

Innovation can prove to be challenging in mature enterprise that is often large, risk averse and resistant to change. However even in these environments, with the right tools and thinking processes, innovation can take root and grow into something that drives new action.

Inventing a better tomorrow begins with acknowledging, like so many pioneers before us, that the future does not need to resemble the past. History holds many examples of individuals who said ‘The future is going to look different to how we thought’, and often they were right. We need to resist the temptation to be confined by the past, but rather use it as a foundation upon which to stand, in order to get a glimpse into the future.
