First 100 Days as a Leader: What Most Get Wrong – The “Shaping Change” Podcast – Ros Cardinal – 22 April 2026
JC Gaillard, Founder & CEO, Corix Partners, was invited to speak on this leading Australian podcast focused on leadership development and hosted by Ros Cardinal
What you do in your first 100 days as a leader can shape everything that follows.
And yet, this is exactly where many capable leaders lose ground—not because they lack expertise, but because they misread what the moment actually requires.
In this conversation, Ros Cardinal and JC Gaillard, author of “The First 100 Days of the New CISO“, explore why this critical window is so often mishandled. Although JC’s work sits in the cybersecurity space, the patterns he describes are universal. This is not a technical conversation. It’s a leadership one.
At the centre of it is a simple but uncomfortable truth: Most leaders think their first 100 days are about proving themselves. In reality, they are about understanding where they’ve arrived.

When most leaders hear the word “cybersecurity,” they immediately think of an IT problem. Issues like firewalls, encryption, software, and tools. But according to cybersecurity expert JC Gaillard, cybersecurity isn’t an IT problem. It’s a leadership failure. It’s failing because of leadership issues, poor workplace culture, and short-term thinking.
And until organizations recognize that, they’ll continue to stay vulnerable.
