Geoff sees himself as the applied academic behind Emergent Team Leadership and Leadership Pathway Audit. His academic approach is based on his knowledge of sociology, psychology and the philosophy of science – ‘how do we know what we know’ or epistemology. The science behind the Leadership Pathway Audit comes from looking at the perception of team members not looking at the leader as such. The model behind the LPA is called Emergent Team Leadership (ETL) and is described in our book. Working with Mark Abraham’s field research has grounded the LPA and ETL and made it more applied.
Geoff has lectured to postgraduate students, and post experience management students, in organisational behaviour at several universities: Reading University, Bath University, Birkbeck (University of London), Oxford Brookes University and Buckinghamshire New University. He has considerable experience in consultancy, training, and coaching to a wide variety of organisations both public and private.
