Industry Reviews
Whatever stage you've reached in your personal leadership journey, this book is provocative, challenging and invaluable. Using a skilful blend of observation, analysis, storytelling and exercises, John Adair provokes healthy self-examination. Unlike many books on leadership, it's also a cracking read. -- Christopher Rodrigues CBE * Chairman, British Council *
Management has Peter Drucker. But Leadership has John Adair. With his customary clear style, John Adair has created a simple, easy-to-follow text which will allow any leader from novice to those with years of experience to become more effective. Guidance is through straightforward text, powerful exercises and thorough check-lists. It's a fast read but one with all the depth you need. -- Nicholas Bate * Founder, Strategic Edge; author of 20 books on leadership *
It was from Professor John Adair that I first learned that leadership is a verb. How to Lead Others is full of practical tips and exercises underpinned by John's inimitable wisdom. Read this book reflectively as a source of inspiration and guidance for your own journey as a leader. -- Georgina Noakes * Founder and Director, Brightside *
John has written a practical guide to leadership brought beautifully to life by quotes drawn from many cultures and moments in time. At its heart he reinforces the critical importance for any aspiring leader to relentlessly build shared purpose, to earn respect and always be a leader for good. -- Emma Fitzgerald * Managing Director Wholesale Operations, Severn Trent plc *
Alas today the very concept of leadership has become one of mockery, but John Adair's new book makes it only too clear how important it is to study the qualities that make effective leaders.
Both in civil and military life this is as important as ever, even more so in these uncertain times. How to Lead Others gives straightforward advice and guidance that is well worth the attention of all who find themselves in a commanding position with a need to communicate with a team and inspire them to achieve. -- Colonel John Blashford-Snell * President, The Scientific Exploration Society *
