About
I am an Associate Professor in Organisational Behaviour and a chartered psychologist. I received my PhD and a MBA from the University of Surrey; awarded a First-class Honour of BSc in Psychology from the Open University. My PhD research investigated the professional identity and disclosure of UK Engineers and was fully funded by the University of Surrey and supported by six professional bodies of engineers in the UK. For my PhD work on identity I received Postdoctoral Research Fellowship funding award by the Economic Social Research Council (ESRC) which enabled me to work as a post doc at the University of Surrey and Linköping University, Sweden.  Following on, I was a Research Fellow in Organisational Behaviour and Research Methods at the School of Management at University of Surrey, and Lecturer in Organisational Behaviour at Surrey Business School. I attained the Fellow status of the UK Higher Education Academy in 2011. My wide variety of experience derived not only from academia but also from industry: voluntary work with non-governmental organisations in Africa and Europe, head of sales and marketing in Asia, business consultant in the UK and project lead in establishing University partnership between University of Surrey and Dongbei University of Finance and Economics, China. This joint academic partnership institution is now known as SII- DUFE. I am currently leading and researching a number of impactful and exciting projects, such as religious identity and working for the NHS, identity conflict and complementarity in a wide range of organisations (banking, law, education, business, and healthcare) and leadership in church organisations in the UK and the USA.

How can companies collaborate more effectively with researchers, experts, and thought leaders to make progress on Leadership?

Developing Leadership Development Programs

An academic researcher can collaborate with a company to design and implement leadership development programs. This can involve conducting needs assessments, designing curriculum, and delivering training sessions. The researcher can also evaluate the effectiveness of the programs and provide recommendations for improvement.

Assessing Leadership Competencies

Companies can collaborate with an academic researcher to assess the leadership competencies of their employees. This can involve using validated assessment tools, conducting interviews, and analyzing data. The researcher can provide insights into the strengths and development areas of the leaders and recommend strategies for enhancing their skills.

Studying Leadership Styles and Organizational Performance

An academic researcher can partner with a company to study the relationship between leadership styles and organizational performance. This can involve collecting data, analyzing it, and identifying correlations and trends. The researcher can provide recommendations for leadership practices that can positively impact the company's performance.

Designing Leadership Succession Plans

Collaborating with an academic researcher can help companies in designing effective leadership succession plans. The researcher can conduct assessments, identify potential successors, and develop strategies for their development. This ensures a smooth transition of leadership and minimizes disruptions to the organization.

Creating Inclusive Leadership Practices
