Research and insights to inspire action
Our latest discussion paper Building Belonging Through Leadership is part of our action research, work that aims to better understand the barriers and enablers of effective leadership in Tasmania.
Authored by Dr Joseph Crawford, an organisational behaviour academic, the paper reveals that belonging isn’t a soft sentiment, it is the foundation of effective leadership. It shows how leaders can create cultures of safety, trust and shared purpose that help support greater productivity and social cohesion.
Launched as part of a panel event in Launceston, this research explores one of the most pressing challenges facing us globally. It shows how leaders can create cultures of safety, trust and shared purpose that help people and organisations thrive.
The research also shows us what leaders can do to build belonging in our organisations and communities through a simple and practical framework covering off on psychological safety, unconditional vulnerability, alignment of identity and place, and boundaries of belonging.
This latest report is part of our mission to strengthen the leadership capability that underpins Tasmania’s social and economic wellbeing. It continues our series of action research exploring the forces shaping leadership in Tasmania, following earlier work on polarisation and complexity.
