Key character trait

I think flexibility is an extremely important characteristic for a leader – that is, the ability to mould oneself and to fit into any situations that transpire as a part of the events encompassing the leader.

Nowhere is flexibility more demonstrated than through the ability and the capacity of our prime minister Anthony Albanese to fit into and adjust to any situation in a dignified and wholly appropriate manner.

Our prime minister in the last few weeks has mixed it with the up at echelons of the management and leadership in the United States. He has visited China and represented his country with dignity and aplomb, quickly adapting to all situations presented during his days in the world’s second most populous country.

He met with the leaders of the Cook Islands and other nations in the South Pacific and worked closely with them in an encouraging and a supportive way to help ease their anxieties about the future.

Finally, and after a brief time in Australia, necessary to recoup energy into focus again on his Next journey, he left for the OECD conference of world leaders in America.

Our prime minister’s flexibility, resilience, capacity to bend to fit into every situation in which he finds him self representing our country, paint him as an outstanding leader. 

10 out of 10 for the rocksolid leadership characteristics demonstrated by our prime minister.

Silence is golden

This topic most certainly resonates with me. There is, without doubt, a place for non-verbalisation and silence, and the good thing is that our prime minister knows when it is wise to let Conversational debate rage around without actually joining in. Recently, he has been invited to comment on and to take ownership and responsibility. With great dignity and maturity, he has declined ownership of the statements of others, attributing them to those making the statements . He does not take ownership for things that other ministers say, for they are responsible for their own portfolios. Prime Minister Albanese demonstrates unusual maturity and intelligence in not subscribing to the comments of others. He knows when it is important to remain silent it’s that silence that hallmarks his maturity and indeed his growth is our prime minister.
