Authentic Leadership

What makes them and what breaks them

Authentic Leadership

Over 30 years, Madonna has reported on seven Prime Ministers and held onstage interviews with dozens of leaders across politics, business, the arts and sport. She’s interviewed hundreds of school principals and government department heads, and hosted podcasts with international bankers. Add her 16 books, and she’s had a bird’s-eye view of what makes and breaks authentic, good leaders — from the biography of Joe Hockey (former treasurer and diplomat) to Professor Ian Frazer (co-developer of the cervical cancer vaccine). Go on a journey through the corridors of power to discover what sits at the heart of their success.

  • Leadership is a relationship, so how do you empower more active followers?
  • Story-telling — particularly around your own failures and successes — can be a game changer. What are the stories in your toolkit?
