How does trust shape leadership? 

Mary-Louise (ML) Huppatz, CEO of the Association for Tertiary Education Management, explores the relationship between power, authority and trust in organisations. 

Reflecting on her journey from specialist roles to CEO, ML speaks candidly about the discomfort many leaders feel in taking up power - and the risks when leaders avoid doing so. The conversation explores decision-making, leadership responsibility, and how trust enables power to be used in ways that activate leadership in others.
