Leadership for innovation – why manufacturing has a future in Australia
Full text linkIn this paper, business leaders discuss the leadership styles they have used to ensure their companies are manufacturing success stories, and then these experiences are analysed to outline the leadership needs for innovation in Australia.
Introduction
With dire predictions about the future of manufacturing in Australia, we should remember that manufacturing has been an important contributor to national development. There was a thriving manufacturing industry up to 1945, sufficient to supply most domestic needs. Post-war, new industries flourished and a golden era of manufacturing followed. By the late 1950s manufacturing accounted for 29% of Australia’s GDP.
By the 1960s, growth and productivity was faltering and manufacturing had begun to stagnate. Today, manufacturing accounts for less than 10% of Australia’s GDP, the lowest level since early colonial times. This is due, in large part, to global economic changes and the economic processes of comparative advantage.
However, the innovative spirit that drove previous successes remains and a new generation of leaders and enterprises has emerged. Two of these innovative leaders presented case studies of their firms at a Swinburne Leadership Dialogue in June 2014.
Richard Simpson of Furnace Engineering and Robert Wilson of the Wilson Transformer Company discussed the leadership styles and approaches they have used to ensure their companies are – and remain – national manufacturing success stories. Scott Thompson-Whiteside of Swinburne University of Technology then analyses their experiences to outline the leadership needs for innovation in Australia

Richard Wilson Interview, September 17, 2015
Full text linkRichard Wilson discusses his career fighting fires both as a smokejumper and as part of ground crews in Montana, Idaho, Oregon, California, and Alaska. He focuses mainly on his time smoke jumping in Montana and details his experience cleaning up after the 1949 Mann Gulch fire tragedy in the Helena National Forest. He explains how he and a few other smokejumpers were scheduled to jump on the fire, but arrived too late at the airport, and another set of jumpers had taken their place. Wilson recounts going the following day as part of a rescue team to remove the bodies of his colleagues after the fire left no survivors. He describes the state of the bodies that he and the rescue crew retrieved from the burn site during the two-day mission. Wilson describes how the experience affected the rest of his firefighting career, and explains that he was always more willing to let structures burn than send his crews into high-risk situations.https://scholarworks.umt.edu/forestrylanduseconservation_interviews/1018/thumbnail.jp
