Five Tools to Enhance Organizational Status

Chapter Chapter 3 in The New Influencing Toolkit, 2015, pp 24-31 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Gerry Gleeson has known power at the highest levels. He retired from the chair of the Sydney Harbor Authority in October 2004 after being appointed as the first chair by New South Wales premier, Bob Carr, in 1999. The position gave Gleeson formidable powers as the authority controlled assets worth more than $1.4AUD billion, including Darling Harbor, the Rocks, Circular Quay, Luna Park and the most valuable property portfolio in Australia. But his relationship with powerful people and powerful positions goes back to 1977, when he was picked by the then premier, Neville Wren, to run the premier’s department. In this position, Gleeson became the most fearsome figure in the New South Wales public service for more than three decades.
