Professor Peter Hawkins is an author, consultant and researcher in leadership cultural change and organisational learning. He calls himself a paradigm buster - and he does just that - as he talks about the necessary move from individual hero leadership to a collective leadership that is able to communicate and collaborate across multiple and increasingly complex systems. His research shows that real leadership development comes from experience and challenges on the job and that organisations focusing on a clear long-term purpose perform better than those that focus on short-term profit.
