Networking Breakfast (Melbourne): Building Great Teams and Leaders in your Association

The Networking

We invite you to take a couple of hours out of your day to connect with others in the industry to discuss high level topics of real importance, develop new relationships and gain critical information. This is a rare opportunity to network with other CEOs and senior management professionals from charities, associations and other non-profit organisations. Ample opportunity will be given for you to discuss issues and network with others.

The Topic

This presentation will give you an insight into what it takes to be a high performing team and as leaders, what you need to do to lead the way.  Our model provides a behaviour framework that empowers team members to become leaders, be accountable, and participate in open and honest reviews of performance. There are no tricks to high performance, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy.

Leading Teams has been helping teams and individuals improve their performance for over 25 years.  Most known for their work in elite sport, working with teams such as the Sydney Swans, Hawthorn and the Australian Diamonds netball team, Leading Teams has a proven track record in getting teams to focus on their team dynamics, that is the way people interact and the behaviours that are modelled, rewarded and challenged.

Ray McLean, Co-Founder, Leading Teams

Ray McLean co-founded Leading Teams in 2000 and has 27 years of experience as a leadership and management consultant. Ray began his working life as a teacher, working for 10 years in schools in regional Victoria, and holds a Bachelor of Education.

Ray made the observation early on in his career that if a company needs to have a huge sign espousing their value to their clients, then the staff are probably not displaying those values with their actions. As Ray’s focus has always been on action not words he set about developing a model that would help teams to align the behaviours and actions with their espoused values.

In his position at Leading Teams, Ray conducts team performance and leadership programs for professional sporting clubs and mentors a number of senior sporting executives. Ray has previously worked with the Sydney Swans, St Kilda Saints, Adelaide Crows, and Carlton Blues in the AFL; The Australian Cricket Team, Boomers and Opals (National Basketball Teams), Sydney Kings (NBL), St George Illawarra (NRL) and NSW Waratahs (Rugby Union). Ray’s current clients include Hawthorn Football Club (AFL), Australian Netball Team (The Diamonds), Newcastle Knights (NRL).
