“Many people who speak about leadership do so from an academic perspective, it’s theory they share, not experience. When your leadership has been tested under the most dangerous of situations, when the quality of your leadership has been a matter of life and death and when you have led an organisation as vast as the army units Lieutenant
“Many people who speak about leadership do so from an academic perspective, it’s theory they share, not experience. When your leadership has been tested under the most dangerous of situations, when the quality of your leadership has been a matter of life and death and when you have led an organisation as vast as the army units Lieutenant Colonel Paul Kinkaid has, then you have truly learned lessons worth sharing.
What surprised me most in learning from a former elite Commando forces leader was the humanity, compassion, and vulnerability he espouses in leadership. That’s what makes his experience worth sharing.
What he teaches is not some kind of military machismo, but a calm and quiet analysis of the way our behaviour impacts how others feel. That is why it is relevant in any leadership situation. Truly thought-provoking.”
