My glorious wall by Lizzie Speer https://padlet.com/lizziespeer/2qw0gvigei05 Made with an open mind en-us 2018-03-06 09:43:55 UTC 2026-01-25 20:17:06 UTC hello@padlet.com Perth City CEO raised concerns about Councillors bullying behaviour lizziespeer https://padlet.com/lizziespeer/2qw0gvigei05/wish/238510638 The Perth’s Now Sunday Times reported an article dated 24th February 2018 on the City of Perth Chief Executive Officer Martin Mileham about raising the bullying claims he was experiencing with the councillors and their behaviour towards himself and his staff.

The article mentioned that he had raised his concerns with the Department of Local Government days before he took stress leave. The City of Perth CEO Martin Mileham had also sought legal advice concerning the City’s obligation to minimise “the risks of employees being subjected to bullying behaviours, including those that result from communications that are aggressive, rude or repetitive”.

The department was in process of investing the allegations raised by the CEO Mr Martin Mileham and all the relevant parties involved to ascertain whether this may be the case. 
I found this article interesting as it demonstrates that poor behaviour can start at the top of the chain and infiltrate down to staff of all levels.

The author uses the Army as a good example of how the frame of mind of an individual can influence results. Believing in the end result and the reasons why the effort is needed will change the level of effort individuals put in their work.

The article also brings to light the difference between management and leadership when it compares different CEO’s trying to shift the culture of a company. One CEO designed a new strategy and culture change plan and presented to staff while the other included employees in the process and worked with the team to understand the issues and find solutions. The leadership behaviour of the second CEO resulted in committed followers that believed in the change.
