LEADERSHIP GONE WRONG

Leadership should never be about intimidation, humiliation or power.

Great leaders challenge, guide and hold people accountable — but always with care and respect.

“People won’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”

Fly Bye 👋

Craig McRae’s sign-off at his press conference following Collingwood’s Wildcard loss to the Western Bulldogs was that of a gracious leader.

Great leaders help create great humans, and how we respond to adversity often reveals far more about us than how we celebrate success.

McRae’s authenticity and class in thanking the media perfectly embodied the message:

“When we win, our personality shows. When we lose, our character shows.”

Craig McRae is a leader of great character.

MOST COURAGEOUS

Adelaide captain Jordan Dawson showed why he was honoured by his peers with the Robert Rose Most Courageous Award — displaying remarkable courage while delivering this powerful message:

“The world is a better place with you in it. You are enough, and you are loved.”

Leadership grounded in courage, vulnerability and love. ❤️

Isaac Humphries

This is what a team should feel like. ❤️

When Melbourne United’s Isaac Humphries shared his truth, his teammates didn’t hesitate—they wrapped their arms around him.

Acceptance. Support. Belonging.

A powerful two minutes—and a beautiful example of sport at its very best.

SPORT IS ABOUT MOMENTS ❤️

A Rubik’s Cube.
A bottle flip.
Thousands watching.
Thousands cheering.

The wonderful quaintness of sporting crowds — complete strangers united by the simplest of moments.

Sport connects people
