Mike Watson is trying to retire from a career in project management and leadership consultancy. With the last 20 years spent travelling the world training the next generation of leaders, he has developed an interest in the transition that many people make almost completely unaided - namely from technical expert to team leader. He is also actively researching new approaches to teaching and coaching, feeling that the old-fashioned didactic styles of training (stand at the front and tell folks what to do) is no longer precisely suited to modern life.
