Richard used to be a navigator in the Royal Air Force flying Chinook helicopters – with operational experience drawn from tours in Bosnia, Kosovo and Afghanistan.
He was a tactics instructor and spent two tours developing leaders and mission commanders. Richard transferred his extensive experience and academic learning of leadership to the corporate space, where he headed leadership development programmes and initiatives for several years in a £1.1Bn organisation focused on operational delivery.
Now he’s a navigator for senior leadership – guiding organisations, teams and individuals to get from A to B, helping them make capacity, think differently, empower others, focus on results and optimise business performance.
For over 20 years Richard has been working with leaders, leadership teams and organisations to develop leadership capability and performance.

Rebel Diaries - Richard Cartlidge - Leadership Lessons From The Military

Transcript

Intro teaser
[00:00:29] Richard: It was really obvious if the leader was over-controlling, 'cause if you took them away, the team fell apart.

[00:00:34] Richard: The best leaders I've worked for are the ones where their team takes the glory and the credit for achieving great things and they're happy to step back.

[00:00:41] Richard: If you go to a colleague and say, "are you busy? They'll say "yeah I'm busy". "
