Previously , a senior manager in food retail and distribution and a short service army officer in people development roles, Ralph also has masters degrees in the sciences (MSc Organisational Behaviour) and the arts (MA Leisure Management).
His first degree in Classics and interest in the ancient world inspired a keen interest in leadership, decision making, communication and the importance of language that remain very relevant today. Tacitus Projects is named after Cornelius Tacitus, a great Roman historian who provides fascinating insights into leadership and political behaviour.
Ralph strives to understand, be open-minded, and to challenge perceived ‘best practice’, while being pragmatic in response to the needs of the situation.
