Virtually single handedly Dr Edward Deming lifted Japan from the depths of a depression at the end of WW2 to a world powerhouse economy.

Deming made a significant contribution to Japan's later reputation for innovative high-quality products and its economic power. He is regarded as having had more impact upon Japanese manufacturing and business than any other individual not of Japanese heritage. For Deming this started around the language and attitude we use as managers.

In simple terms our language can empower or disempower. The nature of our conversation needs to encourage effective two way communication. This helps to drive out fear throughout the organization so that everybody may work effectively and more productively for the company. People feeling encouraged, not discouraged.

As managers the quality of our conversations and use of questions lead to the quality we deserve. Managers need to create constancy of purpose for continual improvement of products and service to society. All people need to believe that what they do has meaning. This allows pride of workmanship.

"How political correctness is sending us to an early grave"

Yes he's a priest, but don't expect political correctness.

Here's a man of the cloth that follows his heart – many admiring his tireless work for the poor and marginalised.

Father Bob Maguire is in the top 10 most sought after speakers in Australia.

He's 75 but has big plans. A big vision. He will surprise you with his innovation and fresh ideas. He refuses to get old.

Father Bob will stir, inspire and enlighten anyone who struggles to make the transition from being a responsible manager to becoming an inspiring leader who simply aims to connect. Turning “us and them” into “we”.

Father Bob is the community priest at St Paul & St Peter's parish in South Melbourne. His passion is not driven from the divine title given to him. More the role of connecting the disconnected. Father Bob is not coming to convert you. Instead expect to hear a man who talks passionately about bringing your values to life, how to engage disengaged people, how to be an instrument of connection.

Expect to have a good laugh. Atheists are most welcome and will find Father Bob's presentation just as relevant.
