Product Description

Review

'This leadership model is practical, simple, understandable and, most importantly, it works at all levels.' – John Rishton, CEO, Rolls Royce
 
'Amidst the clutter of books on leadership, this book stands out. It helps make sense of a whole range of leadership theories and integrates it all into the authors' own compelling view of what makes leaders effective. I've found their framework very
helpful in my own work.' – Larry Benjamin, Capwell Partners, Chicago, IL

'Wonderful stuff… . A really important and worthwhile book.' – David Haslam,President, British Medical Association

'I would recommend it particularly to people who are contemplating a leadership role and are not quite sure they have the attributes to tackle it … an inspirational read.' – Dr Elisabeth Taylor, Divisional Director, University of Bristol Hospitals NHS Trust, UK

'An important step for a company to secure future success is to have effective leader teams. Working with the ideas in this book has been very useful to us and very inspiring.' – Asa Gabriel, SVP HR, ICA Group, Sweden

'This book introduces a model to apply the concept of incomplete leadership. What we have seen in our company is that managers take an immediate liking to its simplicity and clarity. In our journey to build a single leadership team for a multinational company it helped them to play to their strengths and trust others to complete the team.' – Klaas Miedema, SVP Management Development & HR, Royal Ahold, Amsterdam

'Clear analysis of effective leadership and how leadership teams need to work together to be complete. The authors take us beyond 'heroic leadership' – the concepts are new, powerful and provocative.' – Richard Olivier, Leadership Development Consultant and Artistic Director of Olivier Mythodrama

'I have seen the application of these ideas enable individuals and teams from around the world understand what they need to do, and why, and align their personal and collective efforts to work together effectively and deliver results in a way they found
astonishing.' – Dr Paul Chapman, Fellow in Operations Management, Said Business School, University of Oxford

'Keep this book at your elbow. The ideas it brings to life are profoundly useful. And it's an enjoyable read along the way.' – Sir Rod Eddington, Chairman, JP Morgan Australia and New Zealand

Format: Hardcover
Pendleton & Furnham's work offers a practical and accessible insight into the subject of leadership and management.

As a recent graduate currently considering setting up a small business, I was concerned that the book may only be applicable to those operating within large, multinational organisations. In reality, this could not be further from the truth; indeed the ideas communicated within Leadership: All You Need to Know can be relevant at all levels - regardless of the size/structure of the firm.

Being completely new to the subject matter, I was naturally unfamiliar with lots of the background theory - as detailed in the opening chapters. Nevertheless, this theory is generally communicated simply and coherently (in part through simple case studies), and should not serve to exclude anyone without experience in the field. My advice would still be to not get too `bogged down' in chapters 1-2 which summarise leadership theory; whilst they were useful to me as a novice, the authors' own new ideas appear in chapters 3-6 - which are the most interesting.

Underpinned by the concept there is perhaps no such thing as `complete' leader, Pendleton's primary colours model offers an original viewpoint on what constitutes effective leadership. It outlines the three central domains in which leaders operate (strategic/interpersonal/organisational), before exploring the five key tasks that constitute complete leadership (inspire/focus/enable/reinforce/learn). What this does is propose a simple formula with which to approach and subsequently analyse any leadership function.

One notable feature of the book is a blend in `tone'. By this, I simply mean there is an obvious mix between an academic and non-academic/informal approach.

Format: Hardcover
A refreshing take on leadership and the concept that we cannot be all encompassing as a leader. The idea of 'an incomplete leader' is realistic and helps us to recognise and own the qualities we possess and ensure we recruit others to complement our own skills and style. Bringing to life the primary colours of leadership is practical and helps you recognise the part you play best in the model. The book is peppered with great case studies to further illustrate the message of developing a team that leads and a leadership 'that is based on buy-in and mutual sense-making with a vision that is cultural and owned by all'. A great addition to the library of leadership and underpinned by both psychological and experiential evidence.

This book joined up a lot of thoughts that I had before reading it. The most important thing I picked up was that jobs naturally change, especially leadership ones, as every season (period of 5-7 years) will be, should be different from the last - meaning that different leaders are needed with different skill sets, often for a 'what is seen as' a similar job in order to maintain the continual improvement momentum. I guess this is why many HR practitioners advise against 'leavers' sitting on the recruitment panel for their successors...

Format: Hardcover
This book starts from the premise that no one can be perfect in leadership. Whereas one may think this to be self-evident, alas, many books and models pretend that one can learn to be perfect. This book is a notable and refreshing exception. Starting with a complete overview of leadership thinking in the past 100 years or so, the book describes its model of Primary Colors. This model distinguishes between seven behaviors in the three domains (strategic, operational and interpersonal) in which leadership operates. Effective leadership is a combination of behaviors and personality preferences. The book takes its inspiration from several theories and findings on leadership competencies. True to its logic, a chapter is dedicated to how to construct a leadership team, made up of individuals whose profiles complement each other so that the team corresponds to the ideal of the Primary Colors.
