180: When Leaders Lead the Leadership Programme – Matthew Peade

Matthew Peade from TFE Hotels discusses their award-winning People Leaders Program, a 12-month leadership development initiative that’s seen 300 graduates and an impressive 86% promotion rate. Matthew shares how the program weaves together a blend of three learning streams of on-the-job experience through business change projects, peer learning with dedicated mentors, and formal sessions led by leaders across the business, all used to build a steady pipeline of capable leaders in Australia’s fast-paced hospitality industry. Our conversation explores how Matthew selects participants, engages managers as coaches and facilitators, uses reflection to deepen learning, and creates a culture where leaders actively develop the next generation of leaders.
