In this episode of The Leadership Lounge, we discuss Military Leadership in politics with Jonny Ball. Jonny’s civilian career has seen him run campaigns at every level of government, from local to National & European elections and across the veterans’ sector including project managing Deloitte’s Veterans Work campaign and as a consultant to Defence charities. Vitally, his experience from the time he led an MOD’s employer relationship management team has meant that he has become a trusted networker within the armed forces community. His lengthy Army Reservist service includes operational tours of Northern Ireland and Afghanistan. In 2013, following a tour of Afghanistan the previous year, he was awarded a Commander Land Forces’ Commendation for his work as a Pashto Linguist and Intelligence Analyst. This resume of political experience, veterans affairs knowledge and military service places Jonny in a unique position as the UK’s pioneer of transferable military skills to wider UK civil society.
