This paper aims to highlight the stressors and possible ill health consequences of today's workplace due to the speed and change of technology and the information overload that now exists in the corporate world. It also aims to present ideas and business strategies for managers and leaders and encourage the implementation of staff training, accountability and consolidation to minimize the stressors thus influencing a positive work culture.

This paper is based on a “hands on” learning approach. As a corporate trainer in communication and stress over the last decade I have seen significant changes in the workplace which have had a direct effect on employee health and wellbeing. The “faster” the workplace the more essential it is to inspirational leadership with emotional intelligence and an empathy and understanding of the development needs of their staff. As a direct result of work done with a number of clients, it is recognized that with effective training and personal growth, leaders should create a climate for vision building empowering others and themselves to reach their optimum potential.

Effective communication and development training, coaching, mentoring, leading and inspiring employees to work positively have a dramatic and positive effect on work culture. This in turn improves staff moral, health and wellbeing and as a result bottom line figures.

This paper highlights the pace of change in today's workplace and the consequences of this. By introducing the appropriate corporate training and business strategies this, sometimes stressful environment, can be a positive and stimulating place to work for business excellence.

The purpose of this paper is to distinguish the main features of the outburst of student radicalism at Sydney University in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The paper traces developments in student politics at Sydney University from the 1950s onwards, in both the Australian and international context.

The rise of the New Left was a moderate process in 1967 but became more energetic in 1969. This was aligned with a similar trajectory with the marches by radical opponents of the Vietnam war. The New Left: provided challenges to the university curriculum (in Arts and Economics) and challenged middle‐class values. Many components of the New Left claimed to be Marxist, but many such components rejected the Marxist commitment to the working class and communist parties.

The investigation is limited to Sydney University.

Although the endnotes list numerous references, these are largely specific. Very few general surveys of the New Left at Sydney University have been published.
