Rich has worked hands-on in most corporate functions, in a career that has taken him from supervising the nightshift on a production line to the board of a listed company. With a lifetime of leadership experience, Rich has developed proprietary tools to consult on a wide range of subjects, from strategy to culture to leadership.
He’s created strategies that have fundamentally changed organisations’ direction. He’s designed and implemented programmes that have quantifiably increased collaboration and innovation. And he’s held a multitude of leadership roles all over the world, from start-ups to fortune 500s.
Here’s a brief insight into Rich’s approach:
- Strategy is about what game you’re in and how you’re going to win. And every strategy should start with the 4 corporate rockstars of vision, mission, values, and purpose (and purpose is their lead singer).
- Culture does indeed eat strategy for breakfast. The soft stuff is the hardest to get right, but it makes the hard stuff so much easier to execute.
- Leadership is something that happens from the middle of the circle, not the top of the triangle. Constructive conflict, delegation, and the ability to decide what not to do are amongst of the most valuable skills leaders most commonly lack.
