CRN Pipeline: Rugby league "super coach" Wayne Bennett to talk leadership and team culture

CRN Australia is excited to announce that rugby league "super coach" Wayne Bennett will speak about leadership and building team culture at the CRN Pipeline conference on the Gold Coast on August 15, 2024.

The public may think it knows Wayne Bennett from his sometimes frosty interviews with sports media. But behind that image is the side the sports-loving public doesn’t see – a renowned speaker to businesses on the topic of leadership and team culture, drawing on decades of success and resilience coaching teams at an elite level.

At CRN Pipeline, Bennett will share lessons from those experiences with owners, leaders and managers of IT firms who must guide and maintain teams amid fierce competition, rapid change and uncertainty.

He will also take questions from the CRN Pipeline audience and mix with guests.

Bennett is the most successful coach in the NRL, with one of the best winning percentages, and ranks second in the number of premierships won as a coach at an elite level.

Highlights of his decades-long coaching career range from guiding the Broncos to five premierships, two World Club Challenge titles and three pre-season titles, guiding Queensland to State of Origin victories, coaching St George Illawarra to its first NRL victory in 31 years, coaching the Canberra Raiders to their first Grand Final in his first season with them, and being chosen as the Australian coach for the final two Tests of the ANZAC series against New Zealand.

He created history by becoming the first coach to steer his club, state and country to victory in their respective series, and in 2000 he was named Coach of the Year when the Broncos won the minor and major premierships.

The year 2023 saw him helping guide a team from scratch, coaching the Dolphins to a remarkably strong first season.

Bennett’s ability to motivate, inspire and drive individuals to success has been lauded across the sports arena and beyond.

His appearance at CRN Pipeline will be a unique opportunity to be inspired by and learn from a legendary team leader, while mixing with channel peers who are navigating their own team challenges in a complex, evolving industry.

This CRN Pipeline session is not to be missed for owners, executives, managers and others responsible for leading IT channel businesses and their teams.

It will be one of several sessions at CRN Pipeline 2024 aimed at helping IT channel leaders evolve the way they lead their teams and businesses to success.

Don't miss this chance to transform your approach to leadership and team building, ensuring your organisation is set to navigate IT evolution and sail towards success.
