Welcome, and thank you for your interest in my profile. As a Personnel Capability Officer (PCO) / Certified Practitioner Human Resources (CPHR), I believe people are Defence's true warfighting capability. Our people must come first, and our decisions must be people-centric to ultimately win the war on land, at sea, and in the air/space. I execute mission command to achieve the business objectives of the organisation, and I empower my staff to resolve issues at the lowest possible level.I believe leaders “should not be overly concerned about, or be sensitive to, opposing views, but should embrace alternative points of view in the interests of drawing out all the objective facts and options, in order to achieve high-grade practical results… much can be achieved… by clear direction or guidance… leaders should always consider seeking a range of options… from those who will actually perform the task. A collaborative approach is the one most likely to enlist willing consent, both for the task itself, and over the longer term… Above all, there is no place in… today’s Air Force for micromanagement… as the default method of leadership. In the end, such an approach is unsustainable, and kills all ambition and initiative in followers. Equally, it has the even worse effect of stopping them from thinking critically and creatively about what they are doing, and how both it, and similar tasks, might be undertaken in the future. Leaders create the context for tasks to be completed through the provision of intent, resources and boundaries that allow the followers to effect the intent with a freedom within the set boundaries. This is empowerment.”- RAAF Leadership CompanionI "challenge norms, reject mediocrity and apply rigorous standards to our communication effects, personnel and operational support. We believe in the value of our people, their worth to Air Force and their enduring contribution to Air Power. We also believe in the value of quality communications and operations support at the strategic and tactical levels. Personnel support places personnel at the centre of Air Force's true warfighting capability."- 2016 Junior PCO - Senior PCS Forum, HQ Air CommandI am mindful that "those who are placed over others ought not to delight more in their charge than if they had only the care of washing the feet of their brethren; and if they are more grieved at being deprived of this office than they would be if discharged from the humbler task, let them think that their eternal salvation is in peril."- St Francis of Assisi
