#71: Brigadier Jim Richardson - CEO Haig Housing Trust

 Jim is currently the CEO of Haig Housing Trust after retiring from an Army career spanning 35 years from the age of 16. He lives Mark Twain’s maxim ‘Find something you love to do, and you’ll never have to work a day in your life’. This journey took him through life as a soldier, grasping every opportunity presented and seeking to use and develop his talents in pursuit of service and commitment to his country and community. He led units and formations up to Brigade level and was involved in many of the Army’s operational deployments since 1980 including chairing General Patraeus’ Brains Trust in Iraq 2007.

His leadership theme is to trust your own judgement in any situation you face as long as you have learned and lost along your journey you will not be far wrong. His top tip is the need for shared situational awareness; making sure all the team work to a common purpose understanding their role in achieving a goal and to understand the criticality of their part while also understanding the bigger picture.
