MEDIA, JOBS & RESOURCES for the COMMON GOOD

Leading Generous Teams is a podcast from Pro Bono News in partnership with Top Five Movement, dedicated to improving the mindset, resilience and mental health of people working in the social sector. 

It was launched in 2020, at the height of the COVID pandemic in Australia when it became clear one of the biggest concerns for leaders was the wellbeing of their own teams. The lessons still hold true.

Over six episodes, we speak to sector leaders about the impact COVID-19 is having on their staff – the pressure of changing service delivery, the challenges of delivering on the front line during a pandemic, the financial uncertainty in the face of growing demand, and the mental health challenges of balancing all of this with the difficulties of daily life, such as parents managing remote learning.

We focus on how leaders are supporting their staff through this time, but also where they are finding their own support, what tools they are using and what other leaders can learn from their experience.

We hope it leaves you feeling hopeful and re-energised with ideas on how you can tackle these challenges and support your teams in new ways.
