What is the hallmark of a great leader? We believe it's how they support others...

This week we had the chance to catch up with Anthony Kittel AM and Michele Kittel at REDARC Electronics Pty Ltd, two great SA leaders, who support other leaders and their pathway onto the Governor's Leadership Foundation Program through the Dr Paul Collier scholarships.

This year Shane Fotheringham and Rhys Wain were the recipients of these scholarships and got a chance to catch up with Anthony and Michele to talk about the origins of REDARC and what goes into building a great business with great people

What a special moment this was - our 2026 GLF cohort was invited to Government House on the last day in office for our wonderful Governor and patron, Her Excellency the Hon Frances Adamson AC. It was typical of her generosity to squeeze us in on her last day, and the group had a unique opportunity to ask the Governor questions and benefit from her insights and wisdom.
Thank you, Your Excellency, for everything 🙏

A wonderful morning at Government House with past and current recipients of the Pastor Sir Doug Nicholls and Lady Gladys Nicholls Scholarships.

Thank you to Her Excellency the Honourable Frances Adamson AC and Mr Rod Bunten for hosting this special event, and for Her Excellency's reflections on the enduring legacy of Pastor Sir Doug and Lady Gladys Nicholls.

A special thank you to Erma Ranieri and Office of the Commissioner for Public Sector Employment (OCPSE) for their ongoing commitment to the GLF and developing public leaders.

Another fun night promoting the GLF 2027 program at Finlaysons ✨

"The decision to jump in and do the GLF came at the last minute, and was for my own personal development. No matter where you're at in your working life, what it did for me was allowed me to go from thinking I had nothing else to contribute to giving back to the arts industry and joining two new Boards. I think it was one of the best things I ever did for myself and would do it again if I had the chance!" - Margo Hill-Smith, FGLF 2023

One week to go to apply for the 2027 GLF Program 🚨 It could be one of the best things you ever do.....

What are we trying to preserve? 🌿

A question that stayed with us across our latest GLF 2026 block, exploring innovation, sustainability and leadership in complex systems.

From visits to REDARC Electronics and SAGE Group, to a day exploring our relationship with the environment, before bringing it all back to our own leadership with Josie McLean.

A few thoughts that stuck with us:

🌿 Is resilience always a good thing?
🌿 Grief is not a failure of resilience.
🌿 Moving from a egocentric to ecocentric view – understanding we aren't separate from the environment, we're part of it.

Three very different days. Plenty of perspectives challenged. And a reminder that leadership isn't about having all the answers, sometimes it's about learning to ask better questions.
