More on Secrets to Success

Cindy Hook's (CEO, Deloittes Australia) 6 secrets of success

i) develop a purpose statement from bottom-up in the organisation

ii) be bold, ie take calculated risks

iii) be positive (the default position is a negative perspective, ie what can go wrong, this needs to be countered)

iv) empower staff (understand yours and others' strengths and weaknesses; encourage people to grow; diversity needs to be inclusive)

v) be open-minded
"...People care about your decision, but they care even more about the process that you used and was it fair..."
Cindy Hook as quoted by Patrick Durkin, 2017a
