This has been applied through consultancy activities in the areas of leadership behaviour, culture change and organisational performance improvement. As a consultant, Steve has had extensive involvement in the assessment and development of senior managers and executive directors. He has also conducted extensive research into the question of what differentiates outstanding performance at the level of an individual, a team, a business function and an entire organisation. This research has led to the formulation of a cohesive set of tools which have been implemented across many international organisations. Steve is a Chartered Psychologist and was recently elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
