Episode #255 features Andrew Fraser, Chair of Bank of Queensland,
Chancellor of Griffith University, President of Motorsport
Australia, and former Deputy Premier and Treasurer of the state
of Queensland.
In conversation with Vidit Agarwal, Andrew shares his journey —
from entering politics young and rising rapidly to the top of
Queensland Government, to the very bitter public loss that ended
his political career, becoming a stay-at-home dad in the
aftermath, and the reinvention that led him to some of
Australia’s most significant boardrooms.
He breaks down what that period of collapse taught him about ego,
judgment and sustainable leadership, how he now thinks through
complex strategic decisions, why he uses sport constantly as a
metaphor for teams and performance, the importance of “keeping up
the chat” as a leader, and the revealing question he asks every
new hire to test for self-awareness and honesty.
Andrew also unpacks the realities of chairing major institutions,
transitioning from operator to governance, and how Australia
should think about leadership, sovereignty and long-term
competitiveness.
