All leaders are followers, and most followers can lead. Leadership and followership are inseparable, driven by shared purpose. In the Army, roles shift based on context, making followership as important as leadership. From Private to General, we all must follow.

The Accountability Ladder shows the shift from reactive to proactive behaviours. Denial, blame, and excuses hold you back, while owning problems, finding solutions, and taking action drive success. Where do you stand on the ladder?

“If serving is beneath you, then leadership is beyond you.” – Rory Vaden. The British Army’s Servant Leadership philosophy embodies the paradox of Serve to Lead. Leadership is a balancing act, commanding tasks while supporting teams.

Creating a challenge culture boosts performance, but it relies on psychological safety. Teams must feel safe to raise concerns and question the status quo without fear. Mutual respect is key to fostering constructive challenges and driving improvement.

I am enormously grateful and proud to have been awarded a DSO in the King’s New Year’s Honours list.
Commanding on operations, and having the chance to serve at that level, is hugely rewarding and I would do it again given the chance.
This honour is a high watermark. It is humbling for me personally, but also for the recognition of the incredible teams that I have commanded and worked with to achieve extraordinary and courageous things for our nation. This award recognises them.
Surround yourself with the best people, prioritise, provide boundaries, then delegate, and you will see magic happen.
On my behalf and theirs, thank you for this honour.
Wishing you all a happy and prosperous new year.

Guess who's back, back again? Jake is back, tell a friend... 😎
Yesterday, paramedic Jake had his first shift back onboard the Guardian of the North II after spending a couple of months working as an army medic overseas.
We're happy to have him back! 💚

It's a sad fact, but on more than one occasion members of my family have received help from air ambulance services. They're invaluable and life-saving and I'd encourage all Bitcoiners to have a go to see how easy a donation in #Bitcoin can be. Thanks to @CoinCorner - smooth UX!
You can now donate to us in #Bitcoin! 🥳️
We hope the introduction of #crypto will enable us to reach a wider range of supporters, and make it easier to send us those all-important donations to fund our life-saving service. 🙌

3/
1. Expand non desig areas in rest hospital to allow extra patients on each ward, thus reducing crowded ED. @AmandaPritchard and @CareQualityComm this will really help.
2. Buy extra bed capacity from the private sector now.
3. Value NHS staff & resolve pay/ pensions now
