Like many OD practitioners, I came to the job via a circuitous path which included spells as a nursing auxiliary, building site labourer and IT salesman before joining the NHS Management Training Scheme in the mid ‘90s and embarking on a series of management jobs spanning operations, transformation, performance management and capital projects.

A nice part of the job is that I get to work with pretty much every level of colleague who’s involved in leadership from team leaders to Board members. On a day to day basis that sees me dividing my team between designing and delivering leadership development programmes across the NHS and facilitating groups who want to work on issues like team building, culture change, debriefing, strategic planning, and conflict.
