Garry, by his own admission, drifted into leadership and yet forty years later was awarded an OBE in 2012 for innovation and leadership. He has led teams of three to twelve-hundred, recently mentored leadership to a generation of Army officers and is currently designing a future strategy for Army education. He seeks new activities shortly having had fun with a purpose.

Garry has studied leaders for many years learning to retain the ‘nature’ of leadership but adapt the approach to the context; a lesson for today and COVID. Garry also offers we over-concentrate on the leader and not enough on the eco-system of leadership. This is manifesting itself in tensions around control in the current crisis, which he has experienced personally. Moreover, he feels there are linkages between what needs to occur during C-19 and the emerging impact of Artificial Intelligence on leaders and leadership. He has long held a view we should turn the organisational diagram upside down and always think of the impact of our decision on the individual lest we end up with dislocation of expectation.
