expect organisations to be progressive, flexible and open to contributions from all employees. The Management Shift has the power to shift the


mindset of leaders and build better places to work. “Organisations should be the force for good in society,”


Professor Hlupic says. “Think about what you can do as a leader to make the world a better place. By challenging yourself to think this way, you can start to make the ripples that will spread out beyond your own organisation and be a force for change in the world. By being part of the transformation, you will also see the benefits in your personal and professional life.”


CREATING REAL IMPACT Asked about her leadership style, she describes it as “a Level 4 leadership style – empowering, supporting, being a servant leader.” This framework is part of the broader model she developed, mapping the five levels of organisational consciousness. Beyond that, she has also created 36 additional models mapping those five

She is happy to share a striking example of a public


sector organisation, where the Management Shift approach reduced start-up grant processing time from 60 to four days, an incredible transformation in terms of efficiency and customer service. Another client, a private company, was an SME

meaning and connections,” she says. “Everybody wants to be part of a healthy, happy workplace, but not every culture supports these ideas equally.” She advises clients not to focus on ‘managing up’ but


to “speak Level 4 language, form your own network… and changes will happen.” One such story came from a woman in a pharmaceutical company who felt limited by a non-diverse board. She emailed the CEO, and although he didn’t reply immediately, the message
