We know complexity is a big topic in leadership right now. Today’s podcast explores what it means to effectively develop leaders for this, and in particular the role of business schools.

I’m joined by Robert MacIntosh, who is a Professor of Strategic Management and Pro Vice Chancellor for Business and Law at Northumbria University.

His research focuses on strategy and change with senior leadership teams and has involved strategy development and execution with over 100 organisations. He also has significant boardroom experience as a chair and trustee.

He is a Fellow of the Institution for Engineering and Technology, the Academy of Social Sciences, and the British Academy of Management.

He chaired the social care charity, Turning Point Scotland (2019-2021) and currently chairs the Chartered Association of Business Schools as well as sitting on the board of Revenue Scotland, the devolved tax authority of the Scottish Government.

The second edition of his book Strategic Management: Strategists at Work was published in 2023 and he is currently co-leading a major UK research project on EDI in research and innovation settings.

He describes his status as a shareholder of Aberdeen Football Club as a case study in optimism.
