Steve Tinker heads Telstra’s operations in Northern and Western Victoria and he’s part of Telstra’s Response Team. Over 30 years in the job, he’s led Telstra’s customer response, and support for impacted communities through some of the worst natural disasters we’ve seen. With our regions experiencing a cyclone, floods and fires in recent weeks, Steve and the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation’s chief executive Matt Linnegar discuss the challenges, and rewards, of leadership during disasters. And Telstra’s boost in disaster support across the regions.
As a teaser, we learn:
- Steve’s leadership approach is less complex than telecommunications itself.
- In the event people are experiencing the worst day in their life, he’s guided by empathy in his response.
- How emergency leaders helped inspire and mould his leadership.
- How the actions and optimism of passionate locals during times of disaster is contagious.
- And two top tips to prepare yourself for disasters….one unexpected yet potentially the most practical.
- And much more.
As one of ARLF’s longest supporters in delivering leadership for positive impact across regional, rural and remote Australia, we’re thrilled be featuring Telstra in the first episode of the Rural Leadership Unearthed podcast.
