"The path to success today lies in not so much what you make or do, as to how well you utilise your people." David Knowles-Leak helps leaders to get more of what they want for themselves and from their people and teams. He is also one of the Coaching and Development Practice Area leaders.
Key to his effectiveness is his experience, the materials, and processes used: investment in people is like any other investment, it must show a return, and that means engaging to deliver specific results that are measureable along the way and not just after the event.
David was a General Manager in the industrial gas group Air Products, and European Sales Director for PPG Glass; he is a proven and skilled international manger of both, highly structured and very fluid workforces. He set up an international flat glass trading company opening up new supply lines from China and the old Soviet territories; he also led a management buyout of a glass manufacturing group.
Having experienced success and failure at a high level David is a powerful communicator and he brings a very practical edge to his coaching, development, and training: he is recognised by his clients as an extremely effective business and executive coach.
