“Richard takes accountability and responsibility for outcomes and the difference with him is that he is fully invested in whatever outcome is required - not just box ticking. Key to his success is a strong focus on all stakeholders, communications and rolling his sleeves up. He will mentor to ensure the outcome is sustainable beyond the project. This was demonstrated when I worked with him on large scale change where, although interim, his relationship building skills quickly brought respect and confidence to those around him.”
