About John Pringle

John Pringle is a leadership development consultant who has spent many years helping individuals, teams and corporations to build their leadership capability. John is a member of the SRA team and uses Future-Engage-Deliver to help leaders do just this - to build their leadership capability.

My main passion is to help people identify and develop the strengths that they already have and that they bring to their work. After nearly 20 years of working with leaders it is clear to me that people rarely pause long enough to recognize their capabilities. It's as if their busyness and drive to take action gets in the way of them stepping back and seeing how they can best make a difference. A central theme of my work with leaders from different sectors and geographies around the world is to create environments in which they can do exactly this reflecting using F-E-D to think about who they are when they are at their very best and the future that they are leading for.

My other passion is working with leaders when they are 'live' engage with their teams and other stakeholders, exploring with them the impact they have on others as distinct from the impact they intend. This involves me in helping people to build bigger relationships and develop a higher level of trust so that people invite and welcome straight feedback from their colleagues - all part of 'being engaging' with each other as leaders.

Away from work I live in Wimbledon which seems a long way from Newcastle, the place in which I grew up. But this part of London provides an outlet for my love - some would say obsession - for tennis. In fact sports play a big part in my life, helping to give me fresh energy as I travel around in pursuit of my work.
