Description:

Today we spoke with Cameron Schwab - CEO for 25 years in AFL, Leadership mentor and Founder Design CEO

Cameron had the most impressive studio we have seen - a fireplace, AFL memorabilia and a classy ambience; it gave an inside peek into the world of Cameron…class, and quality. Cameron, an artist, storyteller, and writer, has been a CEO for 25 years with experience with Melbourne Football Club, Richmond, Fremantle Dockers - and leading the AFL also as CEO. His company, Design CEO, a leadership and strategy business, focuses on helping leaders navigate the hardships and ambiguity of modern leadership.

Cameron, a graduate of Harvard Business School today spoke about being a leader, rather than doing, and what it was like holding the role of CEO at the age of 24, the youngest to hold this position in AFL history. He proclaims to “never forget how hard it is”…the travails of a leader, and Cameron opened up for us, displaying remarkable vulnerability - unpacking the lessons of being a father to a trans child, broken families, and having had mental health challenges himself. He spoke about how the hard moments define us, his leadership equation, what he looks for in people, aptitude - and why being in your element is massively important.
