Creating a high-performing team

Major General Zac Stenning OBE, Commandant, Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and Director, Leadership, British Army
Dom Taylor, Head Chef, The Good Front Room, The Langham and Founder, Chef Dom Taylor Kitchen
Tom Allen, Head of Sports Science & Performance, Arsenal FC

In this unique discussion of leadership, we’re honoured to be joined by three experts on high performance environments: Major General Zac Stenning, Commandant of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and Director, Leadership for the British Army; Dom Taylor, Head Chef of The Good Front Room at London’s The Langham, and standard bearer of modern Caribbean cuisine; and Tom Allen, Head of Performance at Arsenal. Zac is an officer of the Green Howards who’s served extensively in the former Yugoslavia, Iraq and Afghanistan over an almost 30-year career in the armed forces. Immediately prior to his appointment as Commandant of Sandhurst, he was Commander of the 1st Armoured Infantry Brigade. Dom - the winner of Channel 4’s Five Star Kitchen: Britain’s Next Great Chef - has built a high-performing team both in the kitchen and in front-of-house, and he’s keen to share his leadership insights with us. Tom leads the effort to drive performance at Arsenal, having previously held similar roles at Aston Villa. The term ‘high performance’ is often used in business as a catch-all phrase relating to improvement and growth. Taking both a Finance and a non-Finance perspective, we’ll looking at driving performance, and we’ll also discuss the challenges of building cohesive teams in our dynamic, fast-changing world.
