Below is the the first chapter of How To Lead. Amazon stocks the book at their normal competitive prices. The intention of the book is not just to illuminate, but also to entertain. And if I can do that on a management subject, I should be able to make the telephone directory entertaining: at least that is full of characters. In the meantime, go to:

I also include a few reviews from my previous Management Stripped Bare (Kogan Page) include:
Prof Philip Kotler, Kellogg: "A brave and entertaining assault on the sacred cows of management. Be preapred to lose your business innocence."
Global Investor: "Punchy, edgy and refreshingly honest"
The Times "controversial...more readable than most management textbooks"
Rolf Dobelli, Get AbstractAG "If painful truth is at the heart of all humor then this unbitter, honest book will leave you snickering in your cubicle or corner suite. We highly recommend taking a break and learning the lessons business school skipped."
American Management Association: "Boldly explores the naked truth about every day challenges; brilliantly manages to supply real world managers with practical guidance and proven solutions"
TrainingZone: "He takes the reader through the very material that they not only don't teach you at business school, but they can't teach you."
The Success Centre (Australia) "Jo Owen serves up the juiciest burgers in town. And while it's amazing that someone with tongue so firmly planted in cheek can speak so clearly, more impressive is the wealth of real solutions you'll be able to apply to your own work environment."
Management Stripped Bare is also available from Amazon at http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/tg/stores/detail/glance/-/books/0749436972/202-4091508-2827046
