Nine Publishing is one of Australia’s top media companies, listing the number one-rated Channel 9, and major Australian mastheads such as The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and The Australian Financial Review amongst its holdings. In the new media world, leaders such as its CIO & CTO, Damian Cronan, must navigate an increasingly challenging market landscape. Cronan views market disruption as a source of creativity and his leadership strategy is to pitch his business as a ‘disruptee’, believing Nine’s competitors are no longer traditional media companies, but the ‘most nimble of start-ups’. Here, he shares his personal leadership insights.
