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

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

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

complete the team.' – Klaas Miedema, SVP Management Development & HR, Royal
Ahold, Amsterdam

Product Description
When times are hard, leadership makes the greatest difference. So says the evidence. This book shows how to make the kind of difference that all organizations, both public and private sector, want and need. Early chapters show the powerful effect leadership can have on organizations; subsequent chapters present new ideas that are elegantly simple, conceptually coherent and radically different, based on the best research in the field. The ideas in this book have also been tested in major multinational organizations over recent years. The aim is to provide leaders and those who work with them with a practical guide to how to increase the effectiveness of leadership in any organization.

Informative and enjoyable,
This review is from: Leadership: All You Need To Know (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. Whilst some may deem this to be a potential weakness (after all, most are likely to use this as a reference text, rather than reading simply for pleasure as they would a novel), for someone like me this was a real strength. The hypothetical case study presented in the final chapter, for example, summarised in the simplest possible fashion the key lessons I had learnt throughout the course of the book. Recommended.
