Adrian is passionate about freedom, choice and expression to operate without restraint and is committed to creating that freedom for everyone he interacts with. Mike, his business partner and co-author, is a student of the Austrian economic system and a libertarian. Mike has spent his life bringing freedom and new organisation design to corporations globally. He has worked with the transformation of companies from the boardroom to the shop floor.
Their partnership is a perfect match. Whilst Mike might be a peaceful anarchist, Adrian is a rebellious conformist.
Their passion for freedom in the workplace is paramount. Instead of control, they offer influence, instead of debate, they offer dialogue and instead of opinions, they offer true self-expression.
Their approach works in two ways. It empowers the executives and managers to let go and give people freedom while at the same time it provides clear and powerful rules of the game. The freedom and the rules empower others so that individuals can fully participate and make their best contribution. Those who are engaged in such a way, go beyond the expectations of executives and management to produce extraordinary outcomes.
Adrian is married to his wife Wendy and lives in Devon, where they are regularly invaded by their five children.
