From the Back Cover
What you actually need to do to manage, lead and succeed
There has been a long search for the alchemy of leadership; we all want to find the elusive pixie dust that we can sprinkle on ourselves to turn us into glittering leaders. Few of us, however, are likely to become the ideal mix of Nelson Mandela and Lord Nelson. Instead we need something simple and practical.
How to Lead
is based on original research into over 70 of the world’s best, and a few of the world’s worst, organisations. It cuts through all the daunting hero talk and shows you, in real terms, how to develop the skills and behaviours to succeed as a leader.
With new sections on hiring and firing, dealing with the awkward squad and coaching for success, this second edition is your ultimate guide on how to lead and succeed.
‘A rare gem of a book. Highly recommended’
John Hempsey, CEO, Moneygram International
‘Wonderfully clear, engaging, detailed and practical’
Professor Nigel Nicholson, London Business School
‘Useful for anyone keen to develop leadership skills at whatever level’
David Gregson, Chairman, Phoenix Private Equity
‘…has the ability to make everyone pause, ponder and think on’
Nick Kitchen, VP Human Resources, Unilever
