What do all great leaders have in common | Matt Beeton | TEDxOxbridge

Matt has been in leadership positions for the last 20 years and has been conducting research in to the ‘common denominator’ of great leaders over the past two years. Matt will share insight into a few of those most common denominators and use these findings to offer advice to the next generation of leaders. Leadership is there within us all, we just need to know how to harness it.

Matt was educated and awarded at Coventry University, Cambridge University and Harvard Business School. However, his early career path began as a racing cyclist, where he represented a French racing team and also represented Great Britain. Starting on a graduate program at Rolls Royce Aerospace, at just 26 years old, Matt was offered a Director role within the Rolls-Royce Civil Aerospace business. His next challenge took him into the service industry as a Managing Director within Serco PLC and he has since held Chief Operating Officer position at National Express and Vix.
Matt now owns APT Business Solutions and advises organisations such as Transport for the North, Transport for Greater Manchester and is an associate in GLG New York. He is about to publish a book on the importance of emotional and social intelligence in leadership.
He is still a keen cyclist, a multi-rated pilot and arranges charity events for children charities such as BLISS and Clic Sargent.

Gracias por compartir, interesante tema.cuando realizas algo con pasión todo sale bien, porque te gusta lo que haces y contagias a los que te rodean .creando una motivación para los demás y recibiendo su apoyo.

[GJKincses]

Thanks so much for sharing Matt, We also need inspirational leaders who guide, and empower others to capitalise and galvanise on the negatives as positives, resulting in greater awareness and resilience alternatives to all levels of criticism and humour to balance out the day and way .
