  • Exploring Parallels Between Sport Leadership and Organisational Performance

     

    Interview – Tony Walmsley and Martin Kerr on Leadership, Change, and Team Dynamics in the context of Asset Management

    In this compelling conversation, Martin Kerr interviews Tony Walmsley, a former professional football manager turned leadership advisor, about the intersection between high-performance sport and organizational leadership. Drawing from over 30 years in elite football and his subsequent transition into consultancy, Tony explores the common threads that tie sport and business together—people, performance, and purpose.

    The interview reflects on how Tony’s passion for helping individuals and teams achieve beyond what they believe possible continues to shape his work with industry leaders. Through rich analogies, such as asset management being a “team sport,” Tony and Martin delve into the nuances of leadership in complex environments, the dynamics of trust and motivation, and how clarity of purpose can align disparate individuals toward a shared outcome.

    With reflections on real-world challenges—ranging from micromanagement to organisational silos—Tony unpacks how emotional readiness, autonomy, and empathy are central to building resilient, high-functioning teams. This conversation provides valuable insight for leaders navigating change, managing performance, and striving to build unity in diverse organisational settings.

    Different types of Change

    Change can be categorized into one of three types:

    • Strategic Change
  • Tactical Change

    • Positioning the type of change creates a context for stakeholders. Types of change are a great way to align Risk and Opportunity.

  • Change Hierarchy

    What is a Change Hierarchy?

    • Sets the scene for change by separating the WHY from the HOW.
  • It is a simple, agnostic and scalable way in which to position change effort in an organization.
  • An effective way to discuss the change in the correct context.
  • Assists with visualizing and measuring the change.
  • Supports business cases for change because people understand how the organization pictures itself now and the change ahead.

    • The hierarchy is narrow at the top but then spreads out across the organization.
