Dr Kevin Flinn is Senior Lecturer in Executive Education at Liverpool Business School.
Following twenty years as a leadership and organisational development practitioner in the Financial Services, Management Consultancy and Higher Education sectors, Kevin's teaching, research and community interests unsurprisingly revolve around leadership and OD with a special (and specialist) focus on complexity and group analytic perspectives on management, organisation, change, group process and citizenship.
A second edition of his first book, Leadership Development in Practice: A Complexity Approach, was published by Routledge in October 2023. His forthcoming second book, Organisational Development in Practice: A Complexity Approach, is due for publication in 2025.
