The Value Maker Era

Maximus Founder Vanessa Gavan and Senior Advisor Gerhard Vorster discuss how Executives, Senior Leaders, and HR Professionals can transform their leaders into Value Makers and supercharge performance.

Here are the key takeaways...

Overcoming the Productivity Dilemma

Australia’s declining productivity and weakening economic situation is a wake-up call. Left uncorrected, we risk eroding our global competitiveness, resilience, and overall life satisfaction. Organisations must move beyond traditional performance measures and focus on unlocking productivity through leadership, strategy, and culture.

The Future of Leadership: Doing Well and Doing Good

Organisations that embrace the dual focus of financial success and social responsibility will drive long-term sustainable results, build resilience, and remain competitive in an evolving global economy. The most impactful leaders will be those who deliver total stakeholder value across the triple bottom line: Performance, People, and Planet.

The Secret Sauce: Strategy and Performance Psychology

The proven combination of strategic thinking, an abundance mindset, and performance psychology provides an unmatched catalyst for unlocking leadership potential through value making, and truly mobilises change at scale. True value makers ensure this mindset cascades throughout their organisation.

Resilience is the Currency of the Future

Today’s struggles for leaders are multi-layered and complex. Resilient economies require resilient organisations, and resilient organisations require resilient leaders. Those who develop personal and organisational resilience will be best positioned to navigate disruption, seize opportunities, and create sustained value.

Leaders have the Greatest Catalytic Impact to Change this Trajectory

Companies are the amplifiers and leaders are the catalysts of value creation. The power to shape thriving organisations, industries, and economies lies with leaders who are willing to drive transformation and who are able to inspire their people to do the same. Therefore, developing leaders who can think through the lens of value creation is critical.
