Keynotes & workshops
Dawid Falck is a keynote speaker and author on leadership and culture, toxic workplaces and difficult bosses, decision-making under uncertainty, burnout and sustainable performance, and safety leadership. Drawing on thirty years inside mining and telecommunications operations — and the research behind his books Decision Architecture and A Practical Guide to Surviving Horrible Leadership — his keynotes show audiences how organisations actually run, how to survive the ones that run badly, and how to build rhythms of work that make performance predictable without heroics. He speaks at leadership conferences, safety and mining industry events, HR and culture summits, and executive offsites across Australia and internationally.
The most expensive confusion in business. Leadership without management is performative; management without leadership undermines culture. Dawid’s case: we’ve trained a generation of leaders — and forgotten to teach anyone to manage. Delivery shows it.
