About Anthony Landale
Anthony Landale is the Editor of
'Future, Engage, Deliver' and 'Leadership Plain and Simple' and as well as being an experienced business writer has over 20 years experience as a coach, facilitator and leadership consultant. He is a core member of the SRA team.
As a leadership consultant my focus is on helping leaders to raise their game, release their energy and deliver faster and/or better performance. This always means helping them to get clear on what matters to them, what impact they want to make and what reputation they want to build. And with my clients’ teams I then help to harness and align team energy and commitment to deliver breakthrough projects and goals.
This consulting is based on what is proven to make a big difference. For individuals it helps them to show up much more powerfully. For teams it can mean transforming the culture. For organisations the intent is to deliver faster and smarter and with a greater sense of purpose.
I think I've got the best job in the world. I help people to see how they can get the best out of themselves and their people. I work with some clients on short term projects but with other clients I have relationships that evolve over years. And in those assignments I act variously as coach, mentor, partner as well as someone who can interrupt unhelpful norms.
Meanwhile at home I have a brilliant team behind me. My wife Margaret and my two teenage daughters make sure I keep my feet firmly on the ground and constantly remind me to bring my best to my home life too. And on top of this I live in the Oxfordshire countryside on the River Evenlode which I believe is one of the most beautiful places in the country.

I’m in London and there’s a huge sign plastered over a council building. On a luminous purple background the signage blazons the characteristics of the borough using words such as ‘amazing’ ‘dynamic’ and ‘vibrant’ and then it trumpets to passers-by ‘Deliver the vision’. I feel despair.
We know of course what the council are trying to do here. They are trying to [...]

I meet lots of people who are passionate about what they are up to. But not all of them are engaging. So what’s missing? Val is just such a person. She knows exactly what she is trying to pull off and why it matters. She has focus and energy and she knows how to get [...]

Marcus is a football coach for kids and he’s recently just done some great FED work with me. In our last session he told a story that demonstrates that this leadership stuff doesn’t only make a difference in the workplace. It can transform situations outside of work too. The coaching problem that Marcus was facing [...]

Following the theme of films that have inspired my leadership thinking I want to suggest there is much to be discovered in ‘Looking for Eric’. Although the Eric in this film is Manchester Utd star Eric Cantona, this is not a film about football. Rather it’s a film about how together we are so much [...]

As well as being a consultant I’m also a writer and I a few years ago I interviewed Ben Zander, the conductor of a major orchestra, the Boston Philharmonic, and a teacher of gifted young musicians to find out about his motivational approach. Now when Zander’s young musicians arrive on the first day, of their [...]

There was an advertisement run not so long ago for that very distinctive relish, Tabasco Sauce. In this advert a stereotypical male God was shown sitting in the heavens on a cloud. Clearly it was meal time and the advert showed the divine being shaking the said sauce onto a waiting sandwich and salivating over [...]

Are you powerful in giving people feedback? It’s such a simple thing to do and it’s so important. So how about your leader? Do you go out of your way to tell him or her how they are doing? I remember working with one senior leader who told me that he learned the value of [...]

What do you do if you are not getting on with someone you have to work with and it’s affecting your morale and performance? I remember many years ago having a dispute with a neighbour and believing I was absolutely in the right. Whenever I thought about him I felt angry and frustrated. The arguments [...]

The following story reminds me just how important it is for leaders to know what impact they have on others and to keep on choosing to bring their best – especially to the people who really matter in their [...]

Those of you who have been on a Future, Engage, Deliver journey, either by way of reading the book or working with a consultant, may well have been encouraged to get really clear on what you care about and then ‘go for it’. But some people – even when they have identified what matters to [...]
