Gareth Jones Biography
Gareth's career has spanned both the academic and business worlds. He began as a university academic in economic and social studies at the University of East Anglia before moving to the London Business School, where he joined the Organizational Behavior Group.
During this period he directed the School's Accelerated Development Program. At this point the attractions of a "real" job in business proved too great and he joined Polygram, then the world's largest recorded music company. Appointed as Senior Vice President for Polygram's global human resources, his responsibilities covered more than 30 countries. In 1996 he reverted to academia when he became the BT professor of organizational development at Henley where he also served on the Board of Governors. His most recent job was as director of human resources and internal communications at the BBC.
Gareth's research interests are in organizational design, culture, leadership and change. He has published several books, including "The Character of a Corporation: How Your Culture Can Make or Break Your Business," co-authored with Rob Goffee, and "Why Should Anyone Be Led by You?," also with Rob Goffee, and published by Harvard Business School Press in February 2006.
This latest leadership title was based on an article of the same name, which won the prestigious McKinsey Award for the best article in HBR in 2001. The theme of authenticity was developed in another HBR article, "Managing Authenticity," which appeared in the December 2005 issue. Their latest article, which deals with the special challenges of leading in the knowledge economy, "Leading Clever People," was also published in HBR and was awarded runner-up for the 2008 McKinsey Award.
Gareth’s and Rob’s book "Clever; leading your smartest, most creative people" was published by Harvard Business School Press in September 2009 and deals with the peculiar challenges of leading individuals and teams with the capacity to create disproportionate amounts of value, many of whom are to be found in the knowledge economy. Other articles have appeared in the European Management Journal, in Human Relations and in the Harvard Business Review. Gareth serves on the Editorial Advisory Board of People Management Magazine and has recently published in Management Today.
He is a founding partner of Creative Management Associates (CMA), a consultancy focused on organizations where creativity is a source of competitive strength, and is the proud owner of an honorary doctorate from his home County of Glamorgan.
