In this episode of Leaders Developing Leaders, we have the pleasure of talking with Zoe Daniel, independent candidate for the Federal seat of Goldstein, prior to the upcoming Federal election on 21 May 2022, to talk all things leadership and team.
In addition to being an independent political candidate, Zoe is a mum, wife, journalist, and foreign correspondent. As a journalist in nearly 30 years of reporting, Zoe covered natural disasters, conflict, economics and politics, and all manner of news around the world. She has seen first-hand the impact of climate change in the Arctic, and has covered floods, typhoons, and bushfires across four continents, including Australia.
Zoe has been a rural and regional journalist, a business and finance reporter, and a foreign affairs specialist, interviewing and interacting with prime ministers, treasurers and some of Australia’s top CEOs and small businesspeople. (For more info on Zoe, visit zoedaniel.com.au)
In this episode we discuss leadership influences, values and ethics, and what leadership abilities and behaviours are missing from Federal Parliament that Zoe would like to influence if elected. A great chat with a leader seeking to make a difference to the Federal political landscape – enjoy!
