Former Fast Jet Pilot, Retail Director Waitrose and Deputy Chairman John Lewis Partnership
After a 25 year career in the Royal Airforce and an equally enjoyable 18 year career in The John Lewis Partnership, I am acutely aware of the many skills that can be comfortably transferred from public service to the private sector.
Military officers are able to draw on a wide range of experience including leading teams in challenging environments and dealing with complex and difficult decisions whilst adhering to the highest standards of discipline and governance. People skills are well developed and this is coupled with an ability to relate to work colleagues at all levels.
All this generates leaders with a high level of emotional intelligence which in turn creates a climate in which communication, information sharing, trust and measured risk-taking flourish.
Whether it be on the shop floor or the Boardroom, modern business thrives on team players who possess these qualities."
