By changing the why we work.
Leadership is the defining factor that can make or break an organisation today.

Changing the why we work
A globally awarded Executive Search firm
One of the few internationally accredited Executive Search firms in Australia, our global AESC status ensures the highest standards while our IMD membership gives us access to talent across the globe. Fisher Leadership has a proud history of seeking out diverse leaders with the right mix of experience and future skills. We actively find people who will adapt to change, balance innovation with risk, navigate transformation and lead with purpose. The pride we feel at the end of the day lies in solving leadership challenges person-by-person and role-by-role, blending data with insight after nearly two decades in the business of leadership.

Boardroom diversity will be a key differentiator for Australia’s future. The Jo Fisher Future Board Scholarship seeks to support more young, diverse talent with future-facing capabilities to find a pathway to board representation.
Applications are invited from leaders under 40 years of age without a current Board position who possess at least 10 years of proven executive career advancement with an emphasis on digital, technology or cybersecurity expertise. It would be desirable but not required that applicants hold a tertiary qualification. Applicants must have permanent residency or citizenship in Australia.

Global Partnerships
When we think about leadership, we are thinking global. As the exclusive local partner to the IMD International Search Group – a global top 20 executive search organisation, Fisher Leadership enables clients and candidates to connect across regions, cultures and sectors. We are also a fully credited member of AESC, the Association of Executive Search and Leadership Consultants.
A Connected Community
At Fisher Leadership we believe partnership is the new leadership. We understand the value of strong communities and feel compelled and grateful to contribute proactively to the places where we live and work.
Creating a World
of Difference
At Fisher Leadership, we believe the way people want to connect to work is changing. But what’s changing faster, is the way organisations need to connect to talent. Curating the right mix of diverse leaders around the decision-making tables of the future is critical. Every aspect of our business is geared to challenge and lead the executive journey of the future. Diversity generates better debate, better risk management, better strategy and better outcomes. Over nearly two decades, we have significantly impacted gender and cultural diversity at senior levels. Our responsibility now lies in arming leadership teams with cognitive diversity, or diversity of thought.
