Dr Jed Moore

Dr Jed Moore designs and delivers executive education that takes leadership beyond the heroic individual and into the harder, more interesting territory of how organisations actually function. He draws on critical leadership theory, strategy and change management, and on his own experience of continuous improvement in industry, where the gap between the org chart and the way work really gets done is impossible to ignore. His sessions are built on dialogue, live facilitation and real organisational complexity rather than tidy problems with tidy answers, and participants leave better equipped to share power, surface dissent productively, and build organisations people want to work in. He leads two modules on our MBA. The Boardroom Challenge calls for students to design and pitch initiatives into a boardroom environment in which fair and decent work, distributed leadership and employee voice are treated not as ethical add-ons but as economically practicable choices that strengthen performance and resilience. Strategic Leadership Development turns the attention inward, to the interpersonal and intrapersonal drivers of effective leadership, and gives participants the chance to test what they learn against demanding strategic cases, and to carry the habit of reflection well beyond their time with us.
