RED LEADERSHIP
LEADERSHIP FORGED IN PRESSURE, GROUNDED IN PURPOSE
IMMERSIVE LEADERSHIP PROGRAMMES
RED Leadership designs, customises and delivers high-impact, experiential programmes that prepare leaders to perform with clarity, courage, and integrity in complex, high-pressure environments.
Our approach blends immersive simulation, behavioural insight, and real-world intensity. We work with leaders across pharma, finance, retail, manufacturing, technology, and beyond — helping them navigate uncertainty, make decisions under pressure, and lead with conviction in moments that matter most.
OPERATION STORM ®
Operation Storm® provides a high pressure, exciting and stimulating experiential learning event, giving a realistic insight into the work of investigators, exposing delegates to multiple leadership challenges whilst addressing the key objective of making critical decisions in conditions of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA).
ECOSYSTEM DYNAMICS ™
Ecosystem Dynamics is a business simulation designed to replicate the hierarchies, silos and complexities inherent in organisations. The simulation creates an organizational ‘system’ with leaders, middle managers, operations and external stakeholders, all of whom interact as tasks, challenges and business opportunities are introduced.
RED WATCH ™
This unique hands-on workshop guides participants through real-world fire crew training. Learn the fire crew basics of teamwork and leadership focused on common goals.
Your team will perform a number of challenges that enable them to become a highly effective unit through the lessons of leadership in responding to a 'shout'.
OPERATION STORM ON TOUR
We're helping leaders in a global business to transform through leading others. 'Operation Storm' provides delegates with an immersive experience based on a major crime in action. This high tempo exercise tests agility, adaptive leadership and collaboration, using the specialist functions in an investigation and an incident command room as metaphors for the headquarters and market divisions of the company.
We have the privilege of working with a fantastic client team in locations around the world.
Great people, great fun with a purpose. We love our work!
WHERE THE EVIDENCE TAKES US:
A MEMOIR OF A SCOTLAND YARD DETECTIVE
Kevin O'Leary, Director of RED Leadership has committed his unique story to print. This raw and unfiltered account provides an unprecedented glimpse into the life of a seasoned Met detective, inviting readers to traverse the highs and lows, the victories and defeats, and the evolution of policing in one of the world's most iconic cities.
Told over a period of public service spanning thirty years, this compelling true story unravels the nuts and bolts of policing, providing an insider's perspective on the challenges, triumphs, and transformations that shaped an era.
Immerse yourself in the heart-pounding narratives of high-profile cases, including the intensity of the Broadwater Farm riots, the relentless pursuit of serial murderers, the cloak-and-dagger world of undercover operations, and the delicate art of negotiations during harrowing kidnappings. With a seasoned detective's keen eye for detail, Kevin O’Leary deftly weaves together the intricate threads of investigations, offering readers a front-row seat to the pulse-quickening realities of policing.
HUNTED (CHANNEL 4, SHINE TV) THE HEIST (SKY ONE, SHINE TV)
Kevin O'Leary is the adjudicator and policing subject matter expert for Hunted, Celebrity Hunted & The Heist. He was part of the team at Shine TV that designed both original series, ensuring authenticity in the replication of investigative methods.
Behind the scenes on TV, Kevin runs 'TV Command' which is the engine room of the programmes, providing the information to the investigators if, and only if, they develop the leads and successful enquiries to earn it. He is also the referee, making decisions and judgement calls, which are often challenged by the passionate parties trying to outwit each other. Often tense, usually taking flak from one side or the other, but a great experience working with some fantastic people in telly.
Kevin is on Twitter as @kevinoleary123 where he participates in some lively and, mostly, good humoured discussions with viewers about the programmes and the people involved.
