Like most of us, I wear lots of hats – husband, father, son, brother, friend. Workwise, I’m not much one for titles. Having garnered the benefit of some amazing cross functional roles in both public and private companies across a variety of industries – particularly those undergoing change – I consider myself a generalist. And whilst my achievements include scaling private businesses to sale, and strategic blue-chip company transformations, the most rewarding aspect of my career has been the opportunity to contribute towards the personal and professional growth of so many.
Throughout my life I’ve gravitated towards leadership positions, not because I sought them, but because they sought me. I seemed to have a knack of naturally aligning people, nurturing teams and getting results whilst having fun.
I have always taken the responsibility of leadership very seriously, and it aligns perfectly with my passion for helping people (and organisations) realise their potential. To this end I’ve continued to learn and search for the latest research on all aspects of people and performance, in order to better myself, and better serve as an positive and inclusive leader.
My desire to share this saw the beginning of The Mindful Manager.
