Young was Head of Recruiting for the Navy. Prior to that he was Head of Wellbeing devising the ‘NavyFit’ programme which increased participation in physical activity, morale and retention.[citation needed] Previously, as Dean of the Navy’s engineering college, Young introduced an output-focussed strategy management system, and a coaching culture, which underpinned the first ever military OFSTED ‘Outstanding’ award achieved in the UK. [4] He also spent four years as the Royal Navy's Head of Leadership and Management Development, developing the model on which the Navy's leadership selection and training is based.[5]
