Ian Lock is an experienced leadership consultant and has been a core member of the SRA team for many years. My approach to leadership is grounded in the belief that the best leaders have the people around them feeling great about who they are and what they are up against whilst making sure they deliver outstanding results. The most influential leaders I have worked with are superb at helping their people believe in themselves and brilliant at encouraging them to develop a greater sense of purpose around their work. Not surprisingly this then has a big impact on the colleagues and teams who they lead. I love the work that I do and really enjoy working with leaders who are truly up to something in their lives and their organisations. I’ve learnt over the years that if the leader isn’t thirsty then rarely will the organisation be either. To this end my first conversation with any leader includes questions such as ‘what are you up to, what is important to you here and can you get me excited about your future?' When I’m not working with others on their leadership I enjoy a passion for cars and motor sport including running and driving an older 911 and racing in my own karting team. I also enjoy walking and being a South Downs Warden, socialising and spending precious time with my wife Diane and our 3 mostly wonderful children, Joshua, Roddy and Imogen.
