Professor David Pendleton is a Professor in Leadership at Henley Business School, where he works extensively in executive education.
As a business psychologist, educator, consultant and author, David has published extensively on medical communication in healthcare and on organisational leadership. His latest work on leadership, authored with Professor Adrian Furnham of the Norwegian School of Business and Jon Cowell of the Edgecumbe Consulting Group, is entitled 'Leadership: No More Heroes' and is in its third edition (published by Palgrave Macmillan, London, 2021). His latest book is a sideways look at work-life balance and an introduction to job-crafting. It reviews the history and future of work and highlights the need to fit jobs to people rather than the reverse. It is entitled ‘Work-Life Matters’ and is also published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2021.
David completed a doctorate in psychology at Oxford University and devoted the first half of his career to research and teaching in doctor-patient communication. As a consultant he has worked on four continents and in all sectors: commercial, public and charity. He was co-founder and executive chairman of the Edgecumbe Consulting Group from 1995-2015. During his career, he also lived and worked in Hong Kong (1993-1995) and was seconded to Innogy PLC to be Director People and Organisation Development (2001-2003).
