David Thodey AO is one of the most influential business leaders in Australia, perhaps best known for the incredible customer-centric transformation during his leadership as the CEO of Telstra.David is a passionate advocate of a new leadership paradigm that's essential if we are to succeed in this connected world. He believes that the future is not about charismatic leaders, it is about authentic leadership and transparent management.The shift is already happening in many great companies - from hierarchical to thought based leadership; from rules based companies to values based companies; from compliance to trust and enablement. This is a fundamental change in the way we lead.===========================================The Professional Development Forum (PDF) was established to help diverse young professionals find fulfilment in the modern workplace.We believe that everyone, not the elite few, should have access to the knowledge, mindset and network to develop themselves.We believe that by becoming the best version of ourselves, we lead a happier, more fulfilling life and inspire those around us to do the same.We do this by running events that aims to inform, connect and inspire, and share what we learnt with our community.Please check out our upcoming events:http://www.professionaldevelopmentforum.org/events
