Dinner meeting – Speaker Capt Simon Lash. Bookings are open

Event details

Speaker: Captain Simon Lash

Title of talk: Leadership and in particular followership.

It is a topic that is not widely discussed and many organisations turn away from it, why I do not know. The Army however is a world leader in the concept and is the first NATO country to introduce it in to doctrine.

Captain Lash is a Senior Research Fellow at the Army’s Centre for Army Leadership.

Captain Simon Lash enlisted into the Army in 1996 as a soldier in the Adjutant General’s Corps. In Oct 2019 he was selected for commission, commissioning in Dec 2020. A leadership enthusiast he delivered Command, Leadership and Management Training to newly promoted NCO’s and has written leadership insights on Followership and Coaching as a Leader. He is a co-founder of the Staff and Personnel Support’s Coaching and Mentoring Network which has the aim of promoting coaching and mentoring throughout the Branch.

So far, the Network has created over 50 mentoring pairings, delivered briefs over the UK and established a reward and recognition scheme for coaching and mentoring. Capt Lash is a keen military historian, specialising in the War of 1812 and Normandy, in particular the work of the Royal Army Pay Corps. Capt Lash’s philosophies are leadership flows through followership and providing practical advice on applying leadership at the team level.
