Richard Jones is a leadership coach at OLIA. Before founding OLIA, Richard spent nearly eight years as a partner and board member at Moorhouse, where he established and led the firm's health practice and was part of the leadership team that took Moorhouse through a management buyout in 2014. He is a senior accredited practitioner coach, a chartered management consultant, and has trained in psychotherapy and positive psychology.
In this conversation, Craig and Richard explore how leadership has evolved over the last fifty years and why the old model of the leader as custodian of all the answers is firmly a thing of the past, why consultancy attracts insecure overachievers, and the inflection point almost every consultant reaches when the behaviours that got them here stop being the foundation for what comes next. They also dig into why more than 50% of senior hires fail within the first two years, why treating a senior hire as an organisational change event rather than a recruitment decision is what separates the firms that get it right, and what leaders who navigate change well consistently have in common.
This is a thoughtful, reflective conversation with a leadership coach who has sat on both sides of the table, as a partner inside a consultancy going through significant change and as an advisor to the leaders running through it now.
