Peter F. Gallagher is a Top 7 Global Leadership Authority, the world’s #1 ranked Change Leadership Thought Leader, and a 15-time author who advises boards and C‑suites worldwide. He is recognised internationally for advancing the Leadership of Change® and, now, AI‑OCM Leadership — the discipline that helps leaders navigate the AI wow, the AI oh no, and the disciplined AI how that delivers responsible, measurable transformation.
Peter’s leadership philosophy is simple yet provocative: Change waits for no leader. All leadership is about change and improvement — and if you are not leading these, you are managing. His mission is to redefine leadership as the act of influencing people through vision to embrace change and deliver continuous improvement, a human responsibility rooted in our evolutionary drive to adapt. Leadership, in Peter’s view, is the human expression of our evolutionary arc — a force that shapes possibility rather than preserves comfort.
