Anthony Holmes is a British author and active expert in the turnaround and business recovery field.

Biography

His books include Complex Infrastructure Projects, and Managing Through Turbulent Times. Holmes is best known for his arguments and published works on the inherent difference between leaders and managers and why managers at the top of large organisations are unlikely to ever become true leaders. The themes 'leadership cannot be taught' and 'how leaders should behave in crises' are recurrent in all published work and public appearances. He is a regular lecturer and contributor to many UK business publications seeking authority on corporate behaviour in recession. He was cited extensively in the Financial Times 'Road to Recovery' Report on recovery from recession, the Sunday Times, Management Today and numerous other business titles including The Director (Institute of Directors) and Financial World.

His comments on complex infrastructure projects focus on the systematic errors made in the evaluation of benefits and costs.

After a career in investment banking and corporate management he has recently focused on how and why large complex infrastructure become impaired and is co-founder of the Institute for Infrastructure Studies think tank.
