Our guest today is Lt Colonel Matt Johns MBE

After graduating from University, Matt started his career as an officer in the British Army in 2005, going through the Army’s world-renowned Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst. This was an intense period for the UK armed forces with conflict going on in Iraq and Afghanistan, where Matt did multiple deployments as well as time in Kenya and Germany. He then went back to work in the delivery of the officer training programme at the Sandhurst Military Academy. From there Matt retired from the Army and co-founded Fieri leadership and development. A consultancy and education organisation that supports leadership development across all sectors from professional sport to pharmaceuticals. Fieri has a range of top level clients on its books, including Blue chip companies and Premier league football clubs.

Expect to hear about:

• Structure, rank and hierarchies in teams
• Action-centred leadership
• The muscle memory of teamwork and leadership
• Focusing on team results rather than individual results
• Everyday crises in management
• And How sometimes you don’t want a high performing team, just a performing team
