The Right Person in the Role – Not the Unicorn

Why building your leaders is better than waiting for the perfect one

In today’s aged care landscape, finding the perfect clinical leader – the “unicorn” with the ideal combination of experience, compliance knowledge, emotional intelligence, and operational know-how – is increasingly rare.

But the good news? You don’t need a unicorn.

Often, the right person is already within your team: a passionate RN, a capable team leader, a committed middle manager who knows your residents, your systems, and your culture – but just needs support to grow into the role. We believe that with the right mentoring and oversight, the right person can become the perfect leader.

Our Approach

Through our Clinical Executive and Mentoring Services, we help providers:

  • Bridge capability gaps in clinical leadership during recruitment or transition periods
  • Embed systems for reporting, risk, and quality that strengthen day-to-day practice
  • Coach and mentor clinical staff to build skills in governance, leadership, and regulatory alignment
  • Monitor and interpret clinical indicators to drive meaningful improvements in care outcomes

 

Real Results

We’ve supported providers across metro, regional and remote settings to:

  • Reduce compliance risk
  • Build internal leadership pipelines
  • Improve workforce retention through confidence and capability uplift
  • Strengthen board and executive-level reporting and assurance

 

Take the Next Step

Don’t wait for a unicorn. Invest in the people you have — the ones who show up, care deeply, and just need the right support.

Let’s build your next great leader together.
