He has genuinely impacted how I manage and lead.
Pete has the sort of easy grasp of crisis leadership which has been forged by experience.
He has a laser like ability to dissect a problem and start to coalesce a solution and a team and once you have heard him speak it will change your thinking, approach and philosophy to crisis leadership and emergency planning.
Some people you want on your team, I’d like Pete to be leading it but if I can’t have that I will settle for mentoring. He has genuinely impacted how I manage and lead.
