He was Commandant of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst before retiring in 2012. Patrick now serves as a Reservist Major General, sharing the highest level of Service Complaints Board for the Army. Recorded on: 7th February 2018 Show Notes: In this week's show, Major General Patrick Marriott talks to us about his career in the military and how he learned his leadership skills. Good leadership is still highly important to Patrick and this inspired him along with his love of the countryside to lead a trek for children coast to coast. He also talks about the book he is writing for his children and why on special occasions he likes to fire his cannon!! All this and more… Significant quotes: "You can develop courage in people and that's hugely important. It's the great virtue that enables businesses and everything else to succeed."
