User talk:Gary R Wilson

Profile: A highly driven, strategic and personable non-executive with cross-sector consultancy experience. I have learned and honed my skills within both Strategy and Talent Acquisition Consultancy and have delivered both personal and team business growth targets and profit targets on a consistent basis, having led multi-location, multi-national and multi-cultural teams to achieve through their improved self-knowledge and team working.

What I do. Function Experience:- 1)	I work with owner managers of Mid-size businesses, Global Divisions and PLCs to understand the strengths 	and weaknesses of the business, the management and the staff. I aid, guide, train, develop and help to deliver across their whole business and at each level to improve market share, profit margins, personal capabilities and to attract high calibre, high performing talent to strengthen the business without destroying the team environment. 2)	I work with Large Global Corporates seeking management level talent, usually currently with a competitor, to add value to their business unit or division. 3)	We also work with their leadership teams, both senior and mid-level on Self-awareness and Team Strength Programmes in which they get to realise the strengths and abilities of each of their colleagues. (How many managers have ever read the CV of their colleagues?) 4)	I work with the Owners, Managers & Shareholders to identify growth markets and business trends, Identify, potential competition and identify, attract and recruit the real performers within those companies. 5)	I work with Private Equity, Venture Capitalists and Angel Investors to strengthen their portfolio companies’ management, identify weaknesses in the proposition and either recruit the talent needed to turn them around and/or build them profitably, or implement Team Strengthening and development Programmes. 6)	I work as a SME NED, to use my experience to aid dynamic but inexperienced business leaders in the delivery of their growth plan. Sometimes in the traditional NED role, other times with a sleeves-rolled-up, hands-on ‘get-it-done’ approach. What are the Outcomes? What my clients say: “Gary turned my business from a small firm suffering awful ups and downs into a profitable business that performs like clockwork, gives my family security and yet still gives me the challenges I needed.” “We were quite sceptical about the Leadership Self-Assessment Programme, but after the first two hours we were really sold on the whole concept, we now use each other in regular Master Minding Sessions” “Gary can be either diplomatic or direct and to the point, he is decisive with unwavering accuracy in his assessment of talent, team members and our leadership”, “Sometimes painfully direct but he has saved me thousands”, "I used to spend hours developing staff that just failed to deliver, Gary helped me to invest in the right people and showed me how to optimise their performance and my time" Who do I help? Market Experience: Automotive – Machine Tools – Control Systems – Fire & Safety – Advanced Manufacturing – Retail/Leisure 	and Mixed-use Developments – Advertising/Marketing – Recruitment Agencies & Executive Search Practices, 	In-house Staffing operations.

How do I work? Summary: A positive influence and motivator of teams and individuals so they can seek out their own strengths and to be able to assist others. A proven track record in Strategic Leadership. An instinctive doer with a go-getter mentality, but who is an active listener, who can analyse complex situations and identify key issues and bring the 	team together to arrive at the factors 	for success within a company, business or organisation and muster all to pull in one direction.Gary R Wilson (talk) 11:53, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
