Meet David Fraser – engineering leadership consultant and business coach
Based in Glasgow, Dr David Fraser is an author, speaker, change agent, business coach, leadership development consultant, strategist, critical friend, trusted adviser, interventionist (please pick your preferred label!) with a background in systems engineering, programme management, and technologically or operationally intensive businesses, and an expertise in transformational leadership and influence in complex organisations. An engineer by profession, David unusually combines analytical, professional, and managerial skills on the one hand, with systematic, insightful, and skillfully intuitive approaches and expertise in leadership development and personal growth on the other. Sometimes it comes down to helping people have honest conversations safely. This adds up to a unique and powerful capability.
Modes of leadership coaching delivery depend on your situation. They can include specific interventions and support, individual and team coaching, large group facilitation, open workshops, and talks on leadership, change, and interpersonal effectiveness. Based in Glasgow, David works at both board level and the “messy middle”—that part of organisations where complexity is manifest and conflicting priorities and ambiguities must be reconciled. Development of leadership development and successful implementation of strategy is usually central, as is setting up processes, systems, and structures to stimulate and support a high performance and empowered workforce.

With some books you just know that it is going to be worth every moment spent with it. This is one of those books. David is practical and has a logical way of thinking which is missing in many authors’ approaches to subjects like this. He combines the pragmatic with the creative… quite a talent. This is a superb book full of practical advice. Once I opened this I just knew that it would be one of those books that I come back to time and time again. It is easy to read and invaluable. I recommend this highly.”
