John (Eric) Adair - Source

British leadership-development consultant and writer. He studied at Cambridge, London, and Oxford universities, and developed his Action-Centred Leadership model while involved with leadership training at Sandhurst Military Academy (1963–9) and as an associate director of the Industrial Society (1969–73). The model states that a leader has to ensure that needs are met in three related areas - getting the task done, maintaining the team, and establishing the personal requirements of individual members.
