20190911a- Diversity, Success and Power

Damien discusses the pressure of only being able to login today to the Melbourne Business School’s Canvas learning management system. This has placed him already behind in his readings, not including the other pre-course work required before the start of classes Friday morning on the 13 September. He talks about the article by Marnie Vinall on “Privilege is the hidden ingredient for success that we don’t talk about enough”. The lack of gender diversity in ASX 200 boards, the position of power a multinational company has in negotiations with a small Indigenous business, the figurative and literal significance of being ‘hungry’ to succeed as expressed by Gary Vaynerchuk. Damien talks about the great meeting he had in the afternoon with an Indigenous business around their sales, pricing and marketing.
