このコンテンツについて
In a lively podcast that’s full of amusing anecdotes, David looks back over his career as a commissioned officer who reached the rank of major, and about the skills required for leading men.
Recalling how he went from a salesman with a company car and good package to being on the front line, he talks about his training at Sandhurst, how leadership develops, how to instil discipline and leading a unit
There are clear parallels with the transport industry – getting people to do what you want them to do.
“It is not about enforcing discipline as a regular management technique – that’s the difference with leadership,” he says.
“When you enforce discipline it doesn’t work,” he adds.
They chat about great leaders – and why they had a ‘great right-hand man’.
Asked who he admires – the answer is perhaps surprising, before the conversation moves onto current politicians and leaders
We also learn what it’s like to drive a Chieftain tank and why he left the army as an infantry officer to go into road transport, at a time when there wasn’t the recognition that military training and skills could be transferred.
He spills the beans on how he ‘sneaked in’ to the army, and got away with a ‘sleight of hand’ for his medicals… and how he got his HGV driver licence – a story in itself - then ran a haulage business.
Since the 1990s David has been running training, developed in-house when he owned the haulage business.
He explains how it started from looking at how to reduce the number of collisions his drivers were having, using a simple but effective solution.
He also talks about the different between right and wrong, 'avoidability' and how effective coaching makes a genuine difference for companies.
