OM DENNE EPISODE
In this episode, Mark catches up with Kylie Denton, founding director of Performance Advisory Group, bestselling author, and one of Australia's most respected thought leaders in leadership and sales within financial services.
With over 30 years in the industry (her words, not ours!), Kylie pulls no punches on one of the accounting profession's most persistent blind spots: promoting technically brilliant people into leadership roles and then leaving them to figure it out on their own.
In this conversation, they cover:
- Why the skills that make a great accountant can actually work against you as a leader
- The 25 core competencies leaders need, and why most firms aren't developing any of them
- Delegation: why "I can do it better myself" is costing your firm more than you think
- Leading multigenerational teams, and why it's less about generational conflict and more about opportunity
- What younger professionals actually want, and why ignoring it is a talent strategy with a short shelf life
Kylie's practical, no-nonsense approach makes this one genuinely useful for partners, managers, and anyone navigating the shift from doing great work to leading people who do great work.
