James Allerton is a pseudonym.
The author is a managing director at a UK company. He has ADHD and two burnouts in his past, and the business has run better since he stopped hiding both. Everything in Bandwidth comes from practice rather than reading: the protected day, the way he delegates, the difficult conversations are all in use now, at a real company with real people in it.
The name is withheld for a plain reason. A serving MD cannot write openly about burnout, performance management and his own neurology while his colleagues, clients and board are reading, and also be named. The pseudonym is what lets him be open. It is worth reading anything published on these subjects under a real senior name with that trade-off in mind.
There is no photograph, no CV and no social media here. The writing has to stand on its own.
Correspondence: [email protected]. Everything gets read; replies are written on the day without meetings, so they arrive weekly rather than instantly.
