Leading With Intent

“Leaders are not paid to make the inevitable happen.”

This year has been a reminder that leadership is never static. For many people and organisations across New Zealand and Australia, 2025 has been demanding. Economic pressure, talent shortages, and persistent productivity challenges have been constant themes. Within that context, Pivot & Pace continued to evolve—stretching how we work, embracing AI-enabled processes, and ultimately delivering our strongest financial results to date. That outcome belongs to our entire team.

Greg has been instrumental in our ongoing success. His diligence, capability as a speaker and consultant, relentless work ethic, good humour and steady guidance anchor our business. Marie has continued to be the backbone of our client support and internal business operations, particularly as our service model and tools have evolved significantly. This year we reshaped our support team and welcomed Lisa, who has already strengthened our rhythm and capacity in her Associate and Executive Support role.

Our board also experienced important renewal. We farewelled two outstanding contributors, Denis Snelgar and Stuart Chrisp, whose wisdom and governance stewardship have shaped the firm’s journey. We also welcomed Mark Revis, who brings fresh energy, property and governance experience as we look to our next horizon. What has got us here won’t get us to where we are going!

As a firm, we continued to build on strong strategic partnerships with John Spence, the University of Canterbury, and through our third year sponsoring the Canterbury Civil Contractors’ Annual Awards and fourth year as a key sponsor of the Canterbury Institute of Directors. These relationships, alongside other professional services partnerships, have contributed to our learning, resilience, market insight and, importantly, enduring professional friendships. It also our way of giving back to those who support us.

Alongside the organisational story sits the personal one. Losing Mum in early January brought the year into sharp focus. Acting as executor alongside my brother was challenging but meaningful, and it also enabled us to complete our family farm succession—transitioning it after 110 years to my brother. That is something I am really proud of. It took compromise, challenging conversations and time to achieve my mothers intent & legacy.

This year marked my 21st year of self-employment, our 19th year of marriage (thanks to my wife for the endless support), and Pivot & Pace’s seventh year as a branded entity. I taught two postgraduate university courses, spent 36 days working in Australia across five trips, and managed seven weeks of leave. Our eldest daughter graduated with her Bachelor of Commerce, made the Dean’s List, and earned a scholarship to continue developing her tech start-up (very proud Dad) & our youngest two thrived at school and sport. The death of a good Army mate (who did some work for us at P&P) was tough reminder of how quickly life shifts and its fragility. In April I was awarded the ED by the NZ Army and made the decision to leave the Army on 1 December, concluding 34 years of service.

The data from the year reinforces my ongoing commitment to discipline and wellbeing—something that is a constant challenge. This years numbers include:

• 145 alcohol-free days – started tracking this year: scary

• 10,008 average daily steps – nailed the 10k

• 89 weights sessions and 133 cardio sessions – whew they hurt!

• 467.7 km fast-walked in dedicated workouts – Infantry knees hanging in there!

• 43 minutes of exercise per day on average (up from 34 in 2024) – Yay

• Average sleep of 7 hours 19 minutes – zzzzz need it!

• Cardio fitness above average – LOL I’ll take that as a win thanks Apple watch!

• 78 flights and 46 nights away from home working – It felt a big travel year & was.

• 31 business and biography books read – most things in the world have already been done….learn from others!

We are lucky enough to work closely with many of New Zealand’s admired businesses as they seek to improve, navigate change and implement their strategic goals. The learning is continuous, the expectations are high and the relationships are ones requiring high trust. I am grateful for the opportunities this presents and am constantly amazed at the international, national, industry and regional awards many of our clients have achieved.

It has also been a tough year for all leaders and businesses. Change has been constant. There have been really tough decisions, many courageous conversations and all have worked hard. Some industries have struggled while others have thrived. Through it all there has been a need to exercise judgement and to support key decisions – leadership is never easy.

From a client delivery perspective—relating to my own client work— annual highlights included:

• 26 executives coached individually within our Executive Leadership Programme

• Working closely as a strategist and advisor contracted to 18 different senior leadership teams and a number of Boards.

• 43 board meetings in a formal governance (chairing 34) including my first Australian board chair role.

• 41 strategic implementation planning sessions

• Four keynotes delivered and a black-tie dinner hosted

Across all of this, these key leadership lessons/reflections were my top 5;

  1. When we don’t reflect, we repeat. Reflection, self-awareness and understanding how we are perceived remain such underdeveloped skills in many senior leaders. Without reflection, mistakes recur, opportunities are missed and agility is lost. At a national level, persistent low productivity reflects this gap. Reflection is not a luxury—it is foundational to resilient leadership and building high-performing organisations.
  2. Leaders who avoid the frontline lose relevance. Tied in to point 1, absence at the frontline means leaders are not situationally aware. This erodes customer insight, safety awareness, operational understanding and credibility. Worse than that the opportunity to influence and motivate is lost. Teams acutely feel the absence of their invisible leaders. Leaders who are visible, curious and connected make better decisions—because they are grounded in reality, not assumptions.
  3. A three-year strategy without a long-term vision creates risk. Too many organisations anchor themselves to short-cycle planning that masquerades as strategy. Without a 10-year (or longer) vision and a clear mid-term strategy, companies drift into lists of operational preferences. Long-term intent forces discipline, prioritisation and investment thinking; without it, businesses default to being transactional, constantly needing to react & decline.
  4. Succession remains one of leadership’s biggest failures. Weak talent pipelines, unclear pathways and avoided conversations create disengagement among the very people organisations most need to keep. Boards who have directors with no clear tenure and no succession create the same in their management teams. This year I have seen banks seeking reassurance about board and CEO succession before lending—a signal of how material this risk has become. Succession is not an event; it is an ongoing critical process that requires strong leadership and courage.
  5. Exploitation dominates while exploration is neglected. Many organisations optimise relentlessly for today while underinvesting in exploration. This imbalance increases mid-term risk and erodes long-term value. The leaders who will win the next decade are those who rebalance intentionally and very few organisations invest in the processes to allow both activities to occur concurrently.

Leading with intent does not mean getting everything right. It means owning the learnings, staying connected to people, and intentionally committing to disciplined improvement.

It has been a full year—one I look back on with a mix of satisfaction and pride. Reflection highlighted to me just how much happens over twelve months: the mistakes, the learning & growth, the moments of overwhelm, and of course the wins! It is so easy to forget the great stuff that happens! Being able to laugh, take time out, work as a team and confide in like minded professionals keeps things real and grounded.

A long summer break now beckons. I look forward to returning in 2026 to review & challenge our own business vision and strategy implementation plan – live what we teach! Then to continue the journey alongside the leaders and organisations we are privileged to support as they work to “get it done” amid the complexity of modern business.

2022: Leadership Lessons I Learnt

Did we have a good year? 

That’s the question I put to my business partner Greg Allnutt on the 16th of December 2022 at our team function as we shared a number of Central Otago Pinot Noirs.

It might be an odd question and although I knew it had been a good year, we were both exhausted that afternoon and eager to start a 4 week summer break.

The year had screamed past in a blur for all of us at Pivot & Pace!

We have grown our business & our team, launched a new service into the market, invested in ongoing learning & education, sponsorships, grown partnerships with other like minded professional organisations & focussed relentlessly on helping our clients to grow, evolve, change…..to get break throughs. 

The outcome was a range of client metrics & client successes we are proud of. A lot of work but upon reflection fun work, challenging work and meaningful work. It has been a year of leading change, planning, supporting governance and business restructures, being involved in funding/capital raises, business sales & merges, innovation projects, training, coaching, learning, studying, collaborating, facilitating, networking and at times counselling. As a company and team we made definitely a big impact in 2022!

As I reflect, there were times I felt overwhelmed at the amount of work and complexity of it, It seemed far more serious than other years and sometimes I felt quite isolated given the amount of travel and the requirement to work alone away from the office and team support. I know that many directors and CEO’s have felt the same way and in reality it was year 3 of the covid pandemic & there are a myriad of other converging uncertainty we face in the business world.

In fact many executive teams and individuals reported feeling exhausted mid year and again in October and many were like me…..eagerly anticipating a good summer break.

What leadership lessons did I learn? I looked back over my reflections journal and there are many, many learnings. Here are my top 5 big ones.

  1. Leadership is not a popularity contest. Not a new learning but perhaps a good reminder. Not everyone will like you, your approach, your decisions or how you do it….. & that’s ok. There have been a number of times I have had to stop, reflect, challenge my thinking, reflect on values and either change or be comfortable that it is OK. Moral courage, a documented leadership philosophy and values have paid dividends in time of constant change & lots of ambiguity. Lead yourself well before expecting to do well in other areas of leadership. Remain humble, always seek to be better & don’t take yourself too seriously!
  2. When you care you give a bit of yourself. When woking closely with good leaders as their trusted adviser it is hard not to take on some of their stress. When dealing with complex issues at board and executive level & constant, ongoing change it takes a toll. The regular breaks, keeping fit and pursuit of personal interest are important to maintain and easy to skip. Plan and stay focussed.
  3. Be connected & Keep Learning. A network of mentors, like minded professionals, coaches, friends and family are critical for support & to keep you grounded, on track and to have a bit of fun. Success makes you soft (certainly it is a lousy teacher). Stay true to who you are and when things go off track – reflect, regroup and start again.
  4. We are in a period of ongoing and relentless change (& it is just beginning!). With that comes risk (for sure) but more importantly huge opportunities for those leaders and organisations that can remain agile, focussed and who have a long term vision. Disrupt Business as usual to ensure the important stuff is being implemented rather than just the next urgent thing. A ten year Vision allows you to adjust the strategy many times.
  5. Give back. Each year I work with a number of future leaders and organisations (for no pay) because I love their passion and potential. Some of these investments have paid huge dividends in terms of the impact it has made, the networks it has allowed me to join and the leaders who have gone on to do many things. Givers definitely get….in may ways. Serve with pride.

Always be prepared – Opportunities do not schedule appointments

The future of Governance

Governance is an important component of any business. All companies have directors but not all place an emphasis on its importance nor the value it can add. It is a key part of succession (allowing owners the transition or sell), accessing external funding, maximising value to shareholders and reduces business risk as the organisation navigates change or challenge. On top of that it supports talented CEO’s to thrive and reach their potential.

The Fog of (War) Business

Out of Chaos comes Clarity

On the battle field the fog of war refers to the fact that it can be very hard to see the full picture of what is happening let alone how you are progressing your part of it. Smoke, dust, noise, reactions of the enemy, weather, other friendly forces in the area all contribute to a situation that can be hard to navigate, easy for clear communication to fail & difficult to make clear decisions amongst.

So too in the current business environment. How do you as a leader get the clarity and confidence needed to make good solid decisions when the future seems full of uncertainty, technology change, economic disruption, challenged supply chains and changes that require rapid responses?

A few proven big ideas to consider;

  1. Invest in your team. Continually building trust, close relationships and digging deeper in the “self” awareness and “other” awareness space builds support and empathy. Teams who have each others back can have robust discussions, align and then roll their sleeves up and get the mahi (work) done. Now is a very good time to invest in your team collectively and individually. Little bits regularly on an ongoing basis creates confidence and helps with alignment & effective communication.
  2. Bring the outside in. It can be too easy to be inwardly focussed within your own business and this increases your risk profile. Share insights, information and seek to understand the bigger picture across the market. By taking a much broader approach it will allow you to make better informed and timely decisions. Engage broadly with trusted advisers, collaborate with like minded professionals & constantly ask your clients for feedback. There has never been more collaboration between organisations including competitors.
  3. Schedule and prioritise regular reviews, strategic updates and industry scans. If things are moving fast increase your meeting rhythm. This means scheduling more reviews (not less) and opportunities to pause, take stock of the situation, make clear decisions, review previous decisions and execute change in an aligned and coordinated way. It can be too easy to cancel these important reviews and become consumed by immediate challenges. Sadly this creates confusion, increases the workload, levels of frustration and chaos. Plan, plan and plan.
  4. Make good clear decisions with the best data and information available but be prepared to adapt and iterate the plan as things change. It is important to execute through a series of reviews and decision points. Data wins arguments and moves a discussion away from strong opinions so it is always worth looking at the key numbers and the patterns that are emerging.
  5. Bank the valuable lessons learnt. Reflect regularly on what is working, what isn’t and ensure the same mistakes are not made time and time again. Success breeds more success and confidence.
  6. Take regular breaks, have fun and celebrate the wins. Keep across your team and ensure they take time out, look after their family and recharge. This period of change will be ongoing and a marathon (rather than a sprint). Teams who make it a priority to celebrate the key wins regularly have a sense that hard work is paying dividends. It is just as important to acknowledge what is going right than to constantly focus on what isn’t. Celebrations don’t have to be huge in fact most don’t need anything more than setting aside some time to acknowledge people and achievements.
  7. Ask for Help. Seek help from those in your team, your mentors, coaches, members of your board, others in your peer group. You don’t need to know & in fact can’t have all the answers, rather seek to build a network around you from whom you can seek expertise, experience and information.

Without a doubt the current environment an exciting time to be leading in business. As professional leaders we owe it to those within our team, company and their wider families to be at the top of our game. The fog of (war) business can be challenging and even overwhelming at times and we can all learn from how others approach it.

How are you leading in times of uncertainty?

2020: The Leadership Lessons I Learnt

Landing back in CHCH.

2020 has been an amazing year really. As I reflect back on the first year of the new decade…..it really has been quite fascinating from a leadership point of view. We entered the year with the anticipation of a brand new decade and very early on the world changed forever in the face of Covid-19. Looking back it has been busy, full of challenge, uncertainty and yet one full of new opportunities.

The whole year has been a leadership case study. We have witnessed examples of excellent and completely incompetent leadership as governments and organisations have grappled with decisions, change and communication. Locally in New Zealand we leveraged the fact we are on an Island & able to shut the borders going hard in lockdown. Despite initial scepticism this has proven to be a game changing decision that our government took. In fact they got a second term largely based on this success.

“Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith.” Steve Jobs

I feel it is important to reflect back over the year on achievements, failures and the valuable lessons learnt & I have published a summary of these over the last four years. As I prepare to take some time off I have looked back over 2020 and have published the highlights from my notes.

Personal Milestones

I got to work from home for 7 weeks and to spend time with my family, in particular hanging out with my wee kids (now 3.5 & 2). Our consulting practice remained busy & I really enjoyed being based at home.

Sadly my wife lost her father to cancer (fortunately his funeral was several weeks prior to shut down) & 2 of my elderly Uncles & an Aunty also passed away. One of these Uncles (Bruce Alexander) was a real mentor and a close friend throughout my life & I miss him a lot.

As a family we purchased our dream home on nearly an acre in an area we love in August. This was fortunately just before the property boom really started.

I managed to take my annual 7 weeks leave over the year and as family we did a 6 night camper van holiday down the West Coast of the South Island & over the Haast Pass into Central Otago. It reminded me of what a beautiful country we have!

We have supported my father through some serious health issues which at age 77 is an ongoing concern. It makes me realise that life is indeed precious and short.

According to my Apple watch I averaged 9092 steps per day, 38 mins of exercise per day, had a resting heart rate of 52, slept an average of 7 hours 15 mins per night, completed 193 workouts.

During the lock down I worked as part of the NZ Army response to Covid-19. Our men & women stepped up to do their bit as they always do in a time of need. On 11 July I handed over command of 2/4 Battalion, Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment after 3 years & 8 months as the Commanding Officer. This job was a bucket list role for me (not one many get to do in their career) and marked 28 years service in the NZ Army as an Infantry Officer (18 in the regular Army and a further 10 as an active reservist) & had required a 70-80 days per year time commitment. I am proud of what the unit achieved and the change that I got to lead within the Battalion. I also have a lot more spare time after 10 years serving 40 (+) days with the Army largely during weekends and breaks from my normal work.

Business & Consulting Milestones

Despite a disrupted year & some concerning times, we significantly grew our business during 2020. We launched our own brand (Pivot & Pace which is our legal name) into the market, moved offices and iterated the way we deliver our services. We intentionally chose to change our structures to future proof against further shut downs & to respond to what our clients want (vs what we want).

This change challenged the mindset of everyone in the team (me included) to do things differently, to challenge the status quo & to look at new ways of delivering more client centric services as we continue to iterate & evolve our services. Our focus has very much remained about making an impact for those we work with. Helping them to get the break throughs they need to thrive (not to simply survive) in the current economic environment.

Client function.

As we launched our new brand we committed to an enduring agreement to collaborate with our good friends at Advisory.Works. This is an important relationship & the future of high values professional services is very much going to be about collaborating with like minded partner companies.

We retained all of our clients over the year (Less 2: One we decided to fire due to a misalignment on values & another in the retail sector who was sadly severely impacted by Covid-19). Over the year we also engaged a number of well known established companies/brands across NZ who, through referral & our networks, sought executive leadership coaching & strategic execution support. We continued to deliver services to our Australian clients and to a number in the USA working alongside John Spence.

We worked closely alongside New Zealand Trade & Enterprise supporting some of New Zealand’s best export companies on the “F700”, “Springboard” & regional business programmes. It has been very satisfying to be able to do this work & to make a difference.

We committed (starting Jan 2021) to being a sponsor of the Canterbury Branch of the Institute of Directors. This is a growing area of our practice as we support succession and the professionalisation of governance with many clients.

I enjoyed working as part of a number of Boards of Directors. I was chairing some of them but very much enjoyed working as part of a professional team supporting clever CEO’s to navigate the challenges of the market. I am proud of the achievements we made in these roles.I was MC for a University of Canterbury panel event about “Leadership in the Digital Age” in October. This focussed on some of the lessons learnt from the changes in 2020 around the use of digital platforms and dispersed leadership & teams.

This was our 6th year in a strategic partnership working with my good friend John Spence in the USA & of course his business changed considerably as Covid-19 impacted the US economy.This was my 16th year of self employment, my 5th teaching a Master class at the University of Canterbury on the MBA programme, I took 33 flights (normally annually over 60) & had only one overseas trip (Adelaide in Feb 2020).

Across the year I attended 51 Board meetings (chairing 32 of them), facilitated 22 contingency planning sessions, 36 Strategic planning workshops & 34 leadership development workshops for groups. I led 182 executive coaching sessions, coached 68 CEO’s, founders & senior executives, worked with 31 companies & actively supported the development of 15 Senior Leadership Teams. A busy year for sure.

The top 10 Valuable Leadership Lessons I Learnt in 2020;

  1. The most intentional leaders used the market disruption of Covid -19 to redefine how they deliver core business. It was a real opportunity to challenge and refine the way business is conducted. Sadly the vast majority in NZ businesses simply wanted to return to business as usual as soon as they could. Personally I think this was a missed opportunity but humans typically hate change & of course some industries couldn’t effect change. Whilst for a period as a country we have have a competitive advantage (in that we can operate normally), the rest of the world continues to innovate as the pandemic continues and I am concerned we run the risk of being left behind here in NZ. We certainly have an opportunity to innovate, to build better processes & methods of commerce, ones that move from commodities to highly valuable products & that also look after our environment, climate & invests in the people living & working in our country. We can really leverage our thriving tech industries.
  2. We have seen a decade of change in 6 months. It certainly felt like it. (This was reinforced by the findings of some recent McKinsey research). For those who were not actively tracking the trends this came as a big surprise. For the majority it created a tidal wave of change and overwhelm. Certainly most leaders found the edges of the amount of change they can cope with.
  3. Never underestimate the impact of being intentional in your leadership role and caring deeply about your people. Empathetic leaders enabling high levels of engagement have thrived in this period of constant change. Leadership is so much more than management. The best people leaders tend to be the best managers but sadly the best managers are not the best people leaders.
  4. The best people step up & lean in during a time of need. You see your culture in action as people respond to a crisis. Those leaders who created engagement and alignment have achieved a lot in terms of adapting to change. Those organisations who have not have really struggled to do anything other than survive.
  5. Those leaders who don’t lead themselves well, have struggled to cope over 2020. This year has highlighted the gaps in many leaders communication skills, leadership styles and delegation skills. To be agile & adaptable while leading a complex organisation requires a team of aligned professionals. You will never lead others well if you don’t lead yourself well so it very much starts there with self awareness.
  6. Many business owners simply don’t have the energy to lead through the next few years. They have been through recessions before, they have resources & they want out of their businesses & sadly for those whose business relies on them personally this creates a big challenge. For those under management are a lot of acquisitions & business sales occurring & that will occur over the coming year or two.
  7. In many cases governance has been found seriously lacking the needed horsepower. Some boards have not kept their management teams ahead of the change and are simply reactive, mediocre and tactical. I predict that many boards will have a high turnover in the next 6-12 months & that good directors (and in particular Chairs) will be highly sought after.
  8. Never before have we seen such a demand for leadership coaching. Investing in high performing professional governance, trusted advisers & intentionally building a network of aligned strategic partners creates confidence, resilience and peace of mind. Our main area of growth this year came from CEO’s, founders, directors and executives seeking support to become more effective and intentional leaders. Leading in constant change for long periods of time is not sustainable simply by doing the same thing for longer hours each day/week.
  9. Those who truly are close to and own the voice of their customer – win! Many businesses simply focussed inwards as they tried to address change. Those who stayed very close to their customers delivering what they needed have quickly evolved and adapted to deliver value.

So it has been a busy & fulfilling year. I am thankful to work as part of a great team of professionals & to be working for clever clients who are committed to constantly being better at what they do. I am also thankful to live in this part of the world & I really feel for those living in areas where Covid-19 brings daily uncertainty. I think 2021 will see a continuation of many of these changes and no doubt a few more challenges to navigate.

How have you reflected on the year? What will you do differently to thrive in constant change?

Reflections on the Last Two weeks: USA & NZ/Australia

I caught up with John Spence today & we reflected on a busy two weeks since we last spoke. A lot has changed in both the USA & in our part of the world here in NZ & Australia. Whilst each country faces a different situation there are some common emerging patterns & challenges that leaders are facing across industries as they lean into the Covid-19 impact.

Our Philosophy on Executive Leadership Coaching

A short video with Top 50 Global Leadership Expert John Spence on how we each approach Executive Leadership Coaching. There are many approaches to coaching but without doubt if you get the right fit the impact it makes to your effectiveness as a leader is significant. John has been coaching for many years and his approach, although similar, is different to mine.

I learnt through my career as an Army Officer the importance of coaching, mentoring and guiding and was lucky enough to have some very good leaders invest their time with me. Years of practical leadership followed by some post graduate study at Cornell University in the High Performance Leadership space allowed us to develop our framework that we use to work with many to the top CEO’s, Sports leaders and emerging leaders in New Zealand, Australia and the USA.

Check out this short video.

Hosting: John Spence

I am looking forward to hosting my good friend and mentor John Spence (www.Johnspence.com)down under in August. we will be working with a number of clients in Australia & New Zealand as we prepare them to lead in tougher times.

2 Mins on Executive Leadership Coaching

I am lucky enough to work one on one with many prominent CEO’s, Founders and senior leaders across NZ, Australia & the USA. These are highly motivated professional leaders already achieving some amazing things. They seek to be more intentional in their leadership role and to stay ahead of the crowd/competition. The courage to seek external help really sets them apart because the average CEO stops their professional development once they reach the top role whilst the top performers know the journey is just beginning. You are only as good as your last game and as with anything in the high performance space you need to apply top of mine application to it.
