Leadership Index ED1: The Impact of Presence

Since 1 January 2018, more than 150,000 news stories have discussed leadership across print, online, radio and broadcast outlets in Australia and New Zealand. Unfortunately, but perhaps unsurprisingly, the issues that have attracted the most media attention share a common theme – failed, ineffective or questionable leadership.

While some of the stories highlight the role models and heroes living and working among us, the vast majority of the news we consume and engage with focuses on the negative traits and failures of individual leaders and institutions.
