A behavioural scientist, author and commentator on many aspects of management, leadership, organisation and personal development, I have been very fortunate in the range of experiences that my career has opened up for me. In most cases, my colleagues and I have delivered pioneering, and some quite exceptional outcomes.
My primary interest is in facilitating the learning and development of leaders, executives, and entrepreneurs – individually and collectively.
As a confidant to some elite leaders in global business, government and the not-for-profit sectors, I help them navigate their complex worlds to achieve outstanding results. My publications list includes nine books and over 300 articles.
Having worked in many areas of executive education, today I prefer to contribute through more formal academic environments as a member of a team delivering larger scale, longer-term, or more intensive programmes, at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels; developing my research themes; and collaborating with others.
For five years, from 2012, I developed and led the leadership strand of the GCAP/Smith School (University of Oxford) ‘Adaptation Academy’ – helping senior leaders in the field of climate resilience hone their abilities to influence highly complex political landscapes. A further book on distributed leadership is in preparation now.
In October 2013, I began teaching at The Oxfordshire Business and Enterprise School in Abingdon, which is an inspiring environment with a very diverse range of mature students. This confirmed my enjoyment of longer-term class facilitation and adult education. Through TOBES, I teach undergraduate and Masters’ level Human Resources Management (leading to CIPD qualifications), and undergraduate level Multicultural Management, Personal Development and, most recently, Engineering Management.
