In his early years every leader he knew was a person that was to be feared, dare he get anything wrong in their presence and the punishment was always swift and cruel. Even in his teenage years and again in his early twenties with a blossoming career, he was faced with the same awful leaders and it still felt wrong. Just because someone had power and authority why couldn't they treat people well?
It is Dave's path to change the authoritarian, command and control style leadership that is in this world at present and change it to something he now knows as "Safe Leadership".
Listen to Dave in this video discuss where that drive comes from and what it is he is trying to achieve.
I live and breathe coaching and I’m rarely far from whatever book I’m reading by one of our favorite business and behavioural thinkers, Patrick Lencioni, Brene Brown, Liz Wiseman, Yuval Harari, Jim Collins, Kiahan Krippendorf, Stephen Porges, Robert Sapolsky and Bessel A. van der Kolk to name but a few. Their books and many others have inspired my own research and helped to form the foundations of my psychologically safe leadership coaching.
This has culminated in me developing a world first programme founded on evidence-based research from around the world and presented in layman terms to be easily learned and applied. This research gives leaders permission to be the leader they have always wanted to be by giving them context on what it means to be a natural and psychologically safe leader leveraging off the habits of our ancient ancestors and the knowledge of modern day neuron science.
