Will Harvey, MPhil, BA, PhD—When we recorded this episode of BELS Brief Chats, Will was a Professor of Leadership at the University of Bristol School of Management. He is presently Professor of Leadership at Melbourne University and Director of the Social Purpose Centre. Will conducts research, teaches and consults in the areas of reputation, leadership, talent management and migration. He is also an International Research Fellow at the Oxford University Centre for Corporate Reputation. He has worked with pharmaceutical, healthcare, energy, mining, management consulting, executive search, local and national government, supranational, aviation and food organisations. He has studied, taught and worked with multiple organisations in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and Oceania.
Will’s new book, Reputations at Stake, investigates how reputation requires careful management and explains the influence of reputations—from the big picture to the minutiae. Nigel and Will have a timely discussion about the UK’s reputation globally in the face of much negative reporting on the political and economic fronts. They consider the potential power of the BELS community of British-educated life scientists working abroad to enhance the UK’s fortunes in the sector.
“Britain has so much talent that gets sent all over the world.
But we’re not particularly good at leveraging that talent. It is an enormous opportunity.”
