The Changemakers series has examined how leaders from across rural Australia and at different stages of their diverse career paths, navigate the pitfalls of making change happen.

John Harvey has been at the pointy end of change having led AgriFutures for the last 10 years, and served as CEO of the Grains Research and Development Corporation for five years before that. 

But for all of the technical knowledge and the complexity of the organisations he has led, the simplicity of the insights John shares speaks to an incredible wisdom. 

He discusses the importance of understanding farmer perspectives, emotional intelligence in leadership, and the value of feedback.
