The Cost of Unsafe Leadership:
Risk, Compliance & Profitability
The wake-up call executives can’t ignore.
Unsafe leadership costs Australian organisations billions each year: burnout alone drains $14 billion annually, while replacing one disengaged supervisor can cost up to 200% of their salary. Add the risk of WorkSafe fines, Fair Work claims, and reputational damage and poor leadership becomes the most expensive risk on your balance sheet.
In this briefing you’ll discover:
- Your hidden costs of poor leadership in dollars, not theory.
- How to spot the early warning signs of disengagement, burnout, and poor culture.
- The tools to replace high-risk leadership habits with strategies that cut costs and improve profitability.
From Tradesman to Director:
Shifting Tech Skills to Strategic Leadership
Why great tradies often fail in the boardroom.
Most directors rise through the tools, not the textbooks — yet technical brilliance rarely translates into strategic leadership. Without a mindset shift, directors stay stuck in firefighting, micromanagement, and missed growth opportunities.
In this briefing you’ll learn:
- Stop micromanaging and start leading through systems that scale.
- Shift your thinking from “jobs and projects” to “business and strategy.”
- Free yourself from the day-to-day so you can focus on profit, growth, and sustainability.
Culture as a Competitive Advantage in Industry
The one factor clients and staff don’t talk about.
Toxic or disengaged teams cause disputes, delays, safety incidents, and client complaints. In contrast, high-trust cultures deliver on time, on budget, and with fewer claims. In an industry where margins are thin, culture is your greatest lever for competitive edge.
In this briefing you’ll learn:
- Diagnose the hidden cultural issues costing you time, money, and people.
- Transform disengaged crews into high-trust, high-performance teams.
- Link culture directly to safer sites, fewer claims, and stronger client relationships.
Succession & Scaling:
Building Your Leadership Pipeline
The hidden risk every company faces.
When only a handful of supervisors can lead, the entire business becomes fragile. Burnout spikes, projects stall, and directors remain trapped in day-to-day operations. In industry, this isn’t just inefficient, it’s dangerous.
In this briefing you’ll learn:
- Identify, train, and fast-track future leaders before gaps become crises.
- Build a structured pipeline that reduces key-person dependency.
- Protect your company’s growth and reputation by ensuring leadership continuity.

Poor leadership is one of the most expensive risks in construction. Burnout and disengagement cost Australian businesses $14 billion every year, while replacing just one supervisor can drain up to 200% of their salary.

Reducing turnover and absenteeism through stronger engagement and psychological safety.
Cutting rework and delays by improving communication, delegation, and accountability.
