LAST WEEK'S MEETING

TED TALKS

Why Good Leaders Make You Feel Safe

Simon SINEK 2014

Watch it at

https://www.ted.com/talks/simon_sinek_why_good_leaders_make_you_feel_safe?language=ig

Rather than plagiarise cornerstone, I will direct you to a short critique of the program at

https://www.cornerstoneondemand.com/resources/blogs/ted-talk-tuesday-why-good-leaders-make-you-feel-safe/

This was an engaging 'feelgood' presentation evoking some interesting observations from members.
Harvey reminded us of the influence of shareholders, and Russ had very positive things to say about Hewlett Packard, where, when there were downturns staff agreed to take 5% pay cuts while Management took 10% cuts in order to avoid layoffs.

Excellence in Business Awards

John Lynch

Re Excellence in business awards in OCT 2021:

John has agreed once again to be a judge
RC Nunawading sponsors the young Business Leader award.
It would be good to have a table of Rotarians

He has been discussing with the WBG the possibility of having our Pride of Workmanship awards piggybacking off Business awards.

The WBG Board prefers not to do so this year for 2 reasons:

Their promotion has been under way for the last 3 months.
their venue will not be large enough to cope with the additional number of guests we bring in.

They are happy to support us if we do want to go ahead with the awards. John will discuss this further with the Board at Nunawading.

Bob Allardice

Bob and a small team of members will be

picking up Stanley Rd. playground on Thursday the 17^th

RIMERN

Ian Armstrong

Ian met up with Allan and Hazel Pettit a few days ago.

Allan is now an honorary member of RC Carlton and sent his regards.

Ian had met up with him together with a group of Rotarians from RIMERN.

RIMERN or Rotary Inner Melbourne Emergency Relief Network is doing something similar to EERN. Ian was providing information re workflow etc.
