A legend. Worked for General Sir Mike Jackson in UK Division deployed to Bosnia. Huge moral courage dealing with warring parties. Fun to work for & gave huge commitment for him. Gave appreciation & congratulations. CO of Queens’s Dragoon Guards QDG - cavalry Regiment in Iraq.  Learning from Mistakes - On reflection he could have been less directive & controlling (C2) - to have “Let Go” more & empowered rather than mistrust. C2 vs Environmental Control to help Leaders flourish & grow. Be more collegiate. Beware the Bullies. Now Tim needs to influence firms globally without having power over them.Top Tip - Collaboration & “socialise an idea” to get buy-in. Then frame vision, explain, check ongoing buy-in.
