In this episode of Dear 21-Year-Old Me, with guest Michael Manthorpe PSM We go back in time to 1984, when our guest, Michael Manthorpe, turned 21, and look at what was happening in the world, and closer to home back then. Michael reflects on his experiences growing up in Queensland, and how then he eventually joined the Australian Public Service.  We talk about how Michael's leadership style evolved, and the importance of curiosity.  Michael looks back on his career and his personal leadership lessons from his public service career. We ask Michael what he'd say to his 21-year-old self, and what Michael at 21 would say to himself now.Mentioned in the show Transcript from Michael's comments at an IPAA ACT event, 21 December 2021Sunday in the Park with George musical cast recording Dear 21 Year Old Me (Jeremy Irvine - host) and Pro Podcast Production Dear21 Year Old Me website Jeremy Irvine social media and website links Pro Podcast Production website If you like this podcast, please leave a review on your favourite podcast app - and Tell a friend about the show!
