Dave Stewart is the founder and chief executive at The Fresh Air Leadership Company, specialising in helping business leaders build highly effective teams.

Core to his approach is the facilitation of inquiry into what it means to lead well in clients’ specific contexts. Place is also important. It impacts the way people think and engage with one another, and locations are carefully chosen to support clients’ needs.

Dave’s passion for this work stems from earlier experiences and careers in a rock band, mountain rescue team, and the British Army (including battalion command and leadership of multi-disciplinary business units delivering £1bn portfolios of projects and services).

Dave is a repeat guest on the show and I look forward to talking to him specifically about context-specific leadership of teams of different sizes and types.
