Chris Farmer

“My purpose is to present a clear, integrated system of management and leadership, together with the corresponding skills to put theory into practice”.

Chris believes that many people at work are experts in their field: they know their systems, products and customers. Because of that expertise, they are promoted. That means they have to lead, manage and inspire people.

And that is not what they are trained to do.

Chris believes there are people who are looking for a definite method, together with associated skills, and he sets out to provide the support they need.

Chris draws his material from five sources:

1. The best management models (for example Situational leadership).
2. Applied psychology (such as behaviorism and NLP).
3. Philosophy (many problems faced by managers are philosophical: for example, issues of fai ess, politics and ethics. Chris draws from the philosophy of “objectivism”).
4. Previous delegates (Ideas learned from the experiences of previous delegates are incorporated into the system).
5. Personal observations made by contrasting different organizations
