23. Cultural diversity in Australian leadership - with Philipp Ivanov

The ACRI Podcast

We like to think of Australia as a multicultural and inclusive nation. But a new report, 'Leading for change: A blueprint for cultural diversity and inclusive leadership revisited', reveals that despite the cultural diversity of Australia’s population, the majority of leadership in business, politics, government and higher education remains overwhelmingly Anglo-Celtic or European. Why? How does this impact Australia’s future? How might it affect the Australia-China relationship? What can be done about it? Philipp Ivanov, CEO of the Asia Society Australia, joins James Laurenceson, Deputy Director of the Australia-China Relations Institute (ACRI) at the University of Technology Sydney to discuss the report’s findings, and how Australia might achieve more culturally diverse leadership.
