How AGL equips their leaders to thrive in uncertain times.
Simple perspective shifts. Language that travelled beyond the room. Leaders who started living it, not just learning it.
Building Mindset-Led Leadership for Once-In-A-Generation Transformation
AGL is navigating one of the most significant transformations in its history: a once-in-a-generation energy transition. In an environment defined by complexity, uncertainty, and constant change, leadership isn’t just important, it’s critical.
For Amanda Lee, Chief People Officer, the focus wasn’t simply on capability. It was on mindset, focusing on how leaders think, respond, and show up when it matters most.
“The investment that we make in leadership development at AGL is very deliberate because we want our leaders to have the mindset and the perspective to really lead through this once-in-a-generation energy transition.”
There was a clear need for:
- A shared leadership language across levels
- Stronger mindset and perspective under pressure
- Leaders who could respond deliberately, not reactively
“This transition is really hard. It’s complex, it’s uncertain. But with that also comes a lot of opportunities.”
AGL wasn’t looking for another conventional program. They were looking for something different, something that would genuinely shift how leaders think and operate.
A Different Approach to Leadership Development
Mojo stood out immediately because it offered a balance that felt rare: performance-driven, yet deeply human.
Performance and human connection combined.
Mojo brought together high performance with a genuine focus on how leaders think, feel, and show up.
“It’s a real balance between being performance focused, but also with a deep human connection.”
Mindset and perspective at the core.
Rather than focusing purely on capability, Mojo helped leaders shift how they interpret challenges and respond to them.
“What we love about the program is that it unlocks confidence… creativity… but most importantly, it unlocks the mindset and perspective [we need].”
Tailored, collaborative partnership.
Over 18 months, Mojo worked closely with AGL to design and evolve a program that reflected the realities leaders were facing.
“We develop a program together that caters for all of that… they really listen to the challenges that we’re facing.”
The experience was seamless and integrated digital learning, in-person sessions, and practical, on-the-job application.
Crucially, Mojo didn’t just sit alongside AGL’s leadership strategy, it strengthened it.
“It really complements our leadership framework… particularly our focus on growth mindset.”
When Mindset Becomes a Leadership Advantage
The impact of the work with Mojo has been both personal and organisational with each shift showing up in how leaders think, act, and lead.
Leaders reframing in real time.
Simple mindset shifts, like moving from “I have to” to “I get to”, are changing how leaders approach challenges.
“When you ‘get to’ do something, it’s an opportunity… it gives you a different perspective.”
Stronger leadership through difficult moments.
The tools and practices have proven most valuable not when things are easy but when they’re hard.
“It really matters when things are really hard… the tools help you choose differently.”
Lasting mindset and behaviour change.
Leaders are not just learning concepts. They are practicing them, embedding them, and applying them across work and life.
“The shift for me personally has been quite game changing.”
The feedback across AGL has been consistent: the program is not only improving leadership at work but also influencing how people show up in their personal lives.
“It not only helps them in their personal life, but it also helps them show up as better leaders at work.”
Mojo has helped AGL do more than develop leaders.
It has helped them build leaders who can think clearly, act deliberately, and lead confidently even in the most complex environments.
