Stephen (Steve) Wyatt is the Professor of Leadership at the University of Bath as well as the founder and lead consultant at Corporate Rebirth.   He is author of four books, the two most recent being 'Antidote to the Crisis of Leadership' (April 2024, Degruyter) and 'Management & Leadership in the 4th Industrial Revolution' (Nov. 2020, Kogan Page).    His perspective on leadership whilst refined through rigorous research is also informed by his direct personal experiences.   Prof. Steve previously lived in Asia leading, founding and building several enterprises as well as advising governments and companies through his roles as Regional Managing Partner at Monitor (Deloitte) and at Heidrick & Struggles (Leadership Consulting).   Notable in his national policy work has been revitalisation, growth and navigating significant unfolding changes in sectors including HealthCare, Tourism, Retail and Media. His corporate work has mainly focused on transformation to thrive in the dynamic 4th Industrial Revolution and managing international growth and complexity.   His most recognised personal venture is the introduction of the sport of polo to mainland China (taking the ‘Sport of Kings to Communist China’), where he founded the legendary Nine-Dragons Hill Polo Club and inaugurated the Gold Cup international polo tournament under the umbrella of the International Federation of Polo.   Prof. Steve’s approach is to partner with leadership teams in a process that holistically reimagines complex systems such that they are future-fit; embracing multiple stakeholders with divergent perspectives to create break-through insights and ideas and then to navigate adaptive change journeys whilst building the capacity and expectation of ongoing evolution.   Steve currently lives in Bath whilst continuing to provide consulting support globally.   His two most recent books are available from Amazon.
