According to a well-known consumer psychologist, Scott Morrison would have trouble finding employment after his political career is over since the “minister for everything” debacle will scare off business clients.
When the former prime minister ultimately retires from office, according to Adam Ferrier, CEO of brand strategy company Thinkerbell, he will do so with a tarnished image due to the controversy.
This week’s revelation that he had surreptitiously granted himself the authority to serve as the minister for health, finance, resources, home affairs, and treasurer in 2020 and 2021 damaged his reputation.
According to Mr. Ferrier, businesses won’t be flocking to recruit Mr. Morrison as they did with popular former NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian, who walked into a lucrative Optus post after leaving politics.
“He had a reputation as a bully in his former business life and that became reinforced throughout his time in politics,” Mr. Ferrier said.
The former marketing executive led Tourism Australia before joining parliament, but was dismissed in 2006.
“This most recent incident also makes him seem shady and self-serving.” It’s difficult to imagine someone wanting that combination to be represented in their organisational culture, according to Mr. Ferrier.
“Not many companies will want to have him represent them,” said the author.
After leaving politics, Mr. Morrison could have to depend on “speaking engagements and consultancy” rather than entering the private sector permanently, according to Mr. Ferrier.
Mr. Morrison, who led the Coalition to a humiliating loss in May, may also take a position in the evangelical church, where he is quite engaged and which has the potential to be very wealthy, especially in the United States.
Mr. Morrison has established a new firm named Triginta Pty Ltd and appointed himself director notwithstanding his refusal to quit as the MP for Cook.
Mr. Morrison served as the 30th Prime Minister, and the Latin word for 30 is tiginta.
In mid-July in Seoul for the Asian Leadership Conference and in late-July in Tokyo for the sixth Global Opinion Leaders Summit, he has already delivered paid talks.
Although the incident could have decreased Mr. Morrison’s potential salary, employment expert Sue Ellson said he would still have a chance to find work in the private sector.
Despite their public personas, she told Daily Mail Australia, “those who have recently had significant leadership roles still have a lot of relationships that may be deemed important.”
Yes, there is a danger, but some people may see it as controllable or as a tactic to get a reduced compensation package.
She predicted that effective PR would be necessary to control Mr. Morrison’s reputation.
Scott Morrison will need to exercise extreme caution when deciding how to handle his public image going ahead, the source said.
It may need to contain an expression of regret to individuals who were harmed by his conduct as well as a statement about his growth and future behaviour.
“The added challenge he confronts right now is that the public’s memory of prior topics is still extremely fresh and every word he makes will be scrutinised thoroughly,” the author writes.
Throughout the Covid-19 epidemic, Mr. Morrison has maintained that he behaved “in good faith” and with the best interests of the country in mind.
But his detractors claim that he covertly accepted the additional ministerial responsibilities in order to amass power and deceive both the Australian people and his legislative colleagues.
Political commentators from all sides agree that the scandal has damaged his credibility.
The Australian’s seasoned political columnist Paul Kelly predicted that this would harm Scott Morrison’s legacy.
“The whole situation is strange and just unneeded… Scott Morrison is unable to make a compelling case for why he did it.
All the other pastors may infer is that Scott Morrison lacked faith and trust in them.
On Wednesday, Mr. Morrison maintained that since Australians had never been prime minister, they won’t comprehend his attempt to seize power.
He said that since he was democratically elected, he wasn’t behaving like a tin-pot tyrant.
He was said to be “defensive, passive aggressive, and self-serving” by the new prime minister Anthony Albanese, who also encouraged him to apologise to Australians.
