Our heritage and ethos have their roots in the lessons of high performance teams and the pursuit of excellence learned through service in the SAS (Special Air Service) blended with the experience and expertise of others with a similar background in elite performance, from sport, business and the military.
Our associates have a proven track record in developing leaders, share our values and ethos and have experience as exceptional leaders. What motivates all of us is the opportunity to share our knowledge and experience to help others become the best leaders they can and to help those leaders build exceptional teams.
I spent my early years growing up in the Highlands of Kenya and ever since I can remember I wanted to be a soldier.
When I set out on the selection process for the Special Forces it was because I wanted to seek out adventure and do it in the company of others who shared a similar vision of what that meant.
The greatest privilege of my military career was to serve with so many remarkable men and women and it is only because of what they taught me that I have anything to pass on and to share with others.
When I left the Army I wished it could have been possible to travel back in time and talk to my younger self, to relay something of what I had learnt about leadership and teams. Experience was hard won but it also struck me that my development had been quite haphazard and very much a story of randomness and chance. With a different and more deliberate approach I know that the development of leaders can be greatly accelerated and not simply left to the hope that experience will fix all.
I founded and run Metris to work with like-minded people and to put my talents at the service of others who appreciate the value of high quality leadership and great teams, which are always the foundations of any organisation’s success.
High performance teams deliver results, consistently and often against the odds. They are full of dynamic self-starting individuals who each take personal responsibility for the goals of the team. Metris Leadership is a business with its roots in the SAS - an outstanding example of a high performance team. It is the knowledge and experience of this environment combined with a passion for learning and performance development that inspires us to work with the most dynamic and ambitious businesses in order to maximise their potential.
