Javier Bajer is a cognitive psychologist and one of the foremost specialists in Leadership Performance. He focuses on what gets people to engage, collaborate and make things happen.

Javier moved from Accenture to set up the Talent Foundation. He has since worked with senior executive teams and boards from the World Economic Forum and dozens of blue chips. He also founded Project Red Stripe for The Economist.

Javier Bajer believes organisations should not simply look to hire 'personality types' and then teach them relevant skills. Successful leaders do not pretend they are like someone else; they have a powerful alignment between their beliefs, intentions, promises and actions.

Whatever one's role in the workplace, we can all either be leaders or victims. Javier explains that the true definition of leadership is 'the ability to create movement and deliver value.' The opposite, victimship, is the tendency to find reasons to justify why things can't be changed.

In his presentations and workshops, Javier explores the fundamentals of human behaviour and shows how change can be achieved in a relatively short period of time. He highlights ways to inspire trust, work efficiently as a team, deal with difficult conversations, increase employee engagement and improve commitment from the sales force. With a humorous and challenging approach, he leaves audiences wanting to take immediate action.

Javier Bajer is a member of the RSA Council and an advisor to the Royal Household and Investors in People. He sits on the editorial board of HR Strategy Review, chairs and addresses international conferences and frequently contributes to the media.
