Principled

'A timely and important book for all those seeking to lead in the shadow of past wrongs.' --Tim Costello AO, Chief Executive of World Vision Australia 'Dr Paul Browning is one of Australia's truly distinguished educational leaders. Principled draws upon his deeply personal response to former students who were victims of abuse to provide exceptional foundational advice on ethical leadership behaviour and attitudes for educational and other institutional leaders.' -- Dr Roderick Kefford AM 'If you have ever doubted the significance of a high trust culture read Principled. If you have ever underestimated the importance of a trustworthy leader read Principled. This book is a compelling, confronting, totally convincing account of why ""Trusted Leadership"" is at the heart of individual, collective & organisational wellbeing. But more, Principled provides what is needed most - the leadership practices to become more trustworthy.' -- Anthony Mackay AM, CEO National Center on Education & the Economy Washington DC 'Trust is not blind faith, but underpins a rigour of shared values, and a preparedness to take measured risks, which is what drives performance. In Principled Dr Browning presents a timely and important piece of work - we do not often see such a marriage of academic grounding with real-world experience and practical advice. Of particular interest and relevance is the honest and effective representation of the challenges leading an institution at the centre of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. In this situation, the critical role of building trust as a foundational underpinning of leading cultural change is well illuminated. Principled promotes a reflection on our own leadership, and where and how we might become more trusted and thus more effective.' -- Lance Hockridge, former Managing Director of Aurizon and leader in the field of diversity
