Anthony Ward Rushton
Director, Active Cohesion
Anthony has been in the banking finance industry for over 30 years. Starting his career as a frontline banker in both retail and wholesale, he has since worked around the world in a wide variety of learning and development, primarily specializing in delivering strategic leadership programmes. His experience has allowed him to identify key traits and behaviours of high performing cohesive teams versus mediocre ones.
Active Cohesion was born out of his observations of seeing motivated and successful individuals on executive teams failing to live up to maximizing their contribution in being a part of a dynamic team.
Anthony has closely worked with many senior executives to radically change company culture from a siloed mentality to enterprise powerful leadership teams. He gained valuable experience in working in an international environment, across different business groupings and with a wide variety of cultures at all levels of management.
Anthony’s main focus has been in designing and delivering team cohesion and team dynamics workshops for all levels of business leaders across the globe including general managers, regional and country CEOs.
As a facilitator and coach, Anthony emphasises the need for designing pragmatic solutions to obtain a true buy in from teams to change their routines and habits. His vast experience has made him aware that there is never a “one size fits all” approach and undertakes comprehensive diagnostics to fully understand the organisation and team(s) to ensure the correct bespoke solution is executed.
His style blends straight talking, creativity and resilience when facilitating the interventions
At Active Cohesion, we believe in a collaborative approach and work closely with clients in creating long and trusted partnerships by:
truly understanding their organization’s DNA/culture
creating sustainable learning interventions that ensure a return on investment
operationally executing pragmatic training solutions to achieve solid and realistic behavioural changes
