Background

About Mark Harper

I have come to learn as a leader that you can never say you have finished learning. I value authenticity both in myself and others. I operate from a values based approach that encourages people to bring 'who they are' to work and operate in an environment of mutual respect. I don't use positional power. I build teams that are cohesive, communicative in their exchange of views and opinions. Differing views enrich and acknowledge the teams shared experience. This helps build engagement and avoid mistakes of the past. The people engagement part of my role is sometimes challenging but always the most rewarding. Everything you achieve in a business is in direct correlation to the engagement of your team. I have adopted the philosophy of the CEO of IAG who I quote as saying that "Leadership is the greatest act of subservience". We are there to serve our people.
