BELS Brief Chats #13 – Professor Will Harvey

Will Harvey, MPhil, BA, PhD—Professor of Leadership at the University of Bristol School of Management when we recorded this episode of BELS Brief Chats—conducts research, teaches and consults in the areas of reputation, leadership, talent management and migration. 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.
