Liquid Leadership: Inspirational lessons from the world's great leaders

A practical, jargon-free and easily accessible book on making a difference as a leader, Damian Hughes' Liquid Leadership draws on a diverse list of leaders in everyday life (Kim England, National Sales Training Manager at Unilever) , to showbiz celebrities (John Lennon, Walt Disney) , to renowned historical leaders (Shackleton, Eisenhower, Steve Jobs) . There are no stuffy theories here. Instead, the book jumps energetically between film references from the Wizard of Oz, Alfie and Superman to the leadership styles of World-Cup winning coaches Alf Ramsay and Clive Woodward. Speckled throughout are examples of 'Liquid Leaders', from people you know - like James Timpson, head of the UK-wide group of key-cutting and shoe repair outlets - to people we don't know, including Fergus Findlay of Barnardo's in Ireland. This book offers you a joyous diversion that pushes home important theory effortlessly. It ends with practical exercises designed to galvanise the reader into identifying how they need to change, as well as a very useful annotated bibliography.Both of Damian's books have been credited with helping people build their own houses, fight cancer and run marathons, so come on and be a fellow Liquid Leader!
