In the latest episode of the OrgDev Podcast, we were joined by the excellent Mike Jones, founder and director of LBI Consulting. In this brilliant conversation, Mike brings a unique combination of experiences from military leadership and elite sports teams to organisational psychology and systems thinking. Mike unpacks what we so often get wrong about military-style command and control and the critical role of system design in organisational operations.

Mike's journey is remarkable: he enlisted in the army at 16 without any qualifications, taught himself psychology and organizational studies, and became an instructor at Sandhurst. Determined to further his education, he wrote to every University in the UK to find one willing to allow him to formalise his learning.
