Media Reviews
I found this book to be both an informative and enjoyable read and, in answer to the question you pose at the beginning 'Will it help to develop the leaders, who develop the people, who develop the business?', the answer is a firm 'yes'. I think from the 'practitioner's' perspective, the book maps a clear path through the myriad of theories and concepts which abound about leadership. I particularly found Chapter 2 to be very useful in this context. Where the book is very good is that it gives the practising CEO some food for thought, rather than dictating theory to them. The Dimensions to Management and Leadership' Model (fig10 p58 ) and the summary chart (pp108 - 109), listing the thirteen activities for leaders to explore as to how they can foster talent, are both excellent examples of the guiding thought process, familiar throughout the book.

Very enjoyable. --Paul Winter, CEO, The Leadership Trust
