Background

About Guy Griffiths

Manager and leader with 27 years of work experience. Excellent interpersonal skills. Effective in developing and nurturing cross-cultural relationships with external stakeholders. Extensive knowledge of humanitarian, peacekeeping, expeditionary and combat operations. Considerable experience in pre-hospital critical care services across the full spectrum of UK defence activities. I have worked in global operational leadership and instructor roles that have entailed significant responsibility. Calm under pressure, comfortable with uncertainty, with a comprehensive understanding of the need to balance finite logistical resources against competing stakeholders. Nine years of international experience in the Middle East, working in an ethnically diverse environment that required professionalism, composure, and sensitivity coupled with the ability to communicate and reassure clients, enabling cross-cultural relationships and trust to develop. I possess high levels of emotional intelligence; as a leader, I firmly believe that the people are your greatest asset. Their welfare and well-being which as leader you are responsible for and should be your highest priority. Empirical evidence has proven that employee well-being and knowing they are valued improves productivity.
