#65: Lt Gen Sir Nick Pope KCB CBE - Former Deputy Chief of the General Staff

During his forty year military career, Nick has seen how the Army, and Defence, accommodate change both in peace and war. In the latter capacity, he commanded a brigade during operations in Afghanistan, and was the Chief of the Defence Staff’s Strategic Communication Officer during the Libya campaign. 

As a strategic leader he implemented a transformational re-design of Defence, focussing on delegation of responsibility and accountability from the MOD to the front line commands.

He became Deputy Chief of the General Staff in the rank of Lieutenant General 2015. In this post he was the Chief Executive of an Army of 80,000 regular and 30,000 reserve soldiers and 10,000 civil servants. He was responsible for manpower planning, personnel strategies, strategic planning and programming, performance management and international relations. His focus was on creating and delivering a complex portfolio of change initiatives to make the Army more effective, but also to drive down costs.

Top tip. Work out what good looks like. And never forget task, team and individual.
