Stephen Barden is a renowned leadership coach and mediator with over a decade of experience at CEO and executive board level in the media, technology and communications sectors. He has been in private practice since 2001, working across Europe and the USA, helping both individual senior leaders and organisations develop sustainable and ethical cultures aligned with their strategy and overall purpose.

• Why did you write your book, "How Successful Leaders do Business with their World?"
• How do you define organizational culture and why is it important for leaders to understand it?
• What is the "Navigational Stance" approach?

Stephen's approach is pragmatic and holistic, emphasising the value of treating the organisation as an eco-system with both internal and external linkages and interdependencies. He also advises senior management and HR departments on Governance and sustainable work practices.

Stephen is the author of the researched book, How Successful Leaders Do Business with Their World. Based on interviews with military, corporate and educational leaders, the book presents compelling evidence that top leaders learn from a very early age to 'do business with the world' by using their power and authority to partner with it, rather than impose themselves on it. Stephen uses these findings and insights, as well as studies from his own corporate leadership.
