Sydney Swans and AGSM lead for high performance

UNSW Business School 2 mins read

The Sydney Swans is joining forces with the Australian Graduate School of Management @ UNSW Business School to deliver a short course in Leading for High Performance.   

It’s the first time the two organisations are coming together to deliver a unique education opportunity that draws on their expertise in building leadership capabilities and shaping culture.    

The first intake of the course will be delivered at Sydney Swans HQ over two days in October, with further intakes planned for November and in 2025.   

Tracey Flynn, Director, AGSM Executive Education & Short Courses, says the Leading for High Performance collaboration brings together insights and practical examples from two leading organisations in their respective fields.  

“One of the program's most exciting aspects is its dynamic blend of sports leadership principles with corporate high-performance strategies. Participants will have a rare chance to glean insights from elite athletes and coaches skilled at achieving peak performance under pressure.”  

Facilitated by AGSM Fellow & Adjunct Associate Professor Denise Weinreis and Sydney Swans Chief Operating Officer Drew Arthurson, the course will arm participants with a toolkit to enhance their people management skills and shape a culture of high performance within their business or team.   

Denise specialises in coaching executives and teams to empower and motivate others through energy and leadership, while Drew uses the fundamentals of the Sydney Swans high-performance philosophy and practices to teach leaders how to maximise team performance.   

“Every activity in the Leading for High Performance program will be ‘real play’,” Denise said. “It’s a lived experience that will help participants explore performance at three levels: within themselves, their teams, and their organisation.” 

Meanwhile Drew said the program is designed for high performing people and teams from all walks of life, and participants don’t need to be into sport to benefit from it. 

“What excites me most about this program is the impact we can have on individual people, with tangible ideas that can help galvanise their performance and get them ready to do their life’s best work,” he said. 

The Sydney Swans and AGSM’s Leading for High Performance Course will run October 16-17 2024 at Sydney Swans HQ in Moore Park and places are limited. For more information and to reserve a place or register interest for the next intake, visit: Leading for High Performance
