Brian Roulston

My career has centred on a mentoring approach working with small teams of people to achieve results. My value to an organisation has been defined as:
-people-oriented
-good at reconciling factions, is calming and adds stability
-patient and empathetic
-good listener
-always looking for the logical solutions
-tough-minded
-builds good relationships.

Against that background what I can bring to an advisory board can be summarised as:

Leader :
Strong leader experienced in providing strategic and transformational leadership through a mentoring approach.

Organised:
Focused and well organised, effective and efficient in a changing environment.

Technicality:
Exploits technology and thrives on change in collaborative work environments. Readily able to pick up detailed technical matters and apply a commercial overlay.

Strategic
Thinks and acts strategically and challenges the status quo constructively. Able to think laterally and outside the square, innovative.

Diplomatic:
Builds lasting relationships. Can deal with different people and settings. Manages multiple stakeholders and is an effective communicator.

Motivated:
Has a strong motivation to succeed, and to deliver success to the organisation. Loyal, and does what it takes.
