Why the CEO of this $7b business wants execs to speak up in meetings
People who sit in meetings and disagree with everyone else, but leave without speaking up, are failing to act with integrity, says Aurizon CEO Andrew Harding.
Andrew Harding hasn’t worn a tie in the office for years. “Dressing up for business – it doesn’t feel quite right any more. I don’t do it.”
The shift to more casual office wear hastened during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Aurizon chief executive tells BOSS from a meeting room (Harding doesn’t have his own private office) overlooking tropical green plants at Aurizon’s open-plan headquarters in Brisbane’s hip Fortitude Valley neighbourhood.
