    Simple practitioners guide - highly recommended
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 March 2009*

There are many business books that offer advice based on research and academic theories.  There are very few that start from the perspective of finding people who have suceeded and in some cases failed then suceeded and asking them what they do and would do differently - a practitioners view.  The results are interesting, engaging and ones that can be readily used in any workplace, such as the 7 C's test described in one of the other reviews.This book is clear and concise, filled with practical examples that are easy to grasp and relate to.  I was impressed and would recommend this to anyone interested in looking to improve their own performance, improve their organisations performance or requiring a means to evaluate other people and companies.

    A wealth of practical leadership advice -  and inflatable bananas. What more could you ask for?
  

*by J***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 October 2009*

On Leadership is an admirable book, obviously written from a genuine desire to share ideas about best leadership practice and successful business solutions with aspiring leaders, managers, would-be entrepreneurs, students of business - and anybody else who might actually give a damn about the reality of creating business success. Leighton has no axe to grind and the book is largely free from the kind of surreptitious self-aggrandisement that infects so many corporate leaders' writings.  In his introduction, Leighton says, refreshingly and correctly, that merely delivering a list of exhortations -`Be decisive!', `Obey your gut instincts!' - is not particularly useful or enlightening.  So he draws on his impressive list of friends and acquaintances - an address book of A-grade executives and entrepreneurs that any financial journalist would presumably kill to get their hands on.  The reader is treated to an intelligently-edited series of quotations from some sixty leading chief executives, business leaders and entrepreneurs, with a sprinkling of government ministers and  leading media figures thrown in for good measure.  The depth and quality of the advice on offer is breathtaking.My only complaint about the book is that, perversely, I eventually found the sheer clamour of these different voices to be slightly overwhelming.  And I wanted to hear more from Allen Leighton himself.  Here is a man who released 600 three-foot long inflatable bananas onto a conference of ASDA store managers, to make the point that the business depended on improving like-for-like sales (the humble banana is the biggest-selling item in any supermarket). The assembled managers were obliged to make an oath of allegiance to the banana.`Everybody still remembers it,' says Leighton.  I'll bet they do. Leighton also invented an effective internal management forum known by an unforgettable acronym too Anglo Saxon to be printed here: the`Stores Head-Office Interactive Trading meetings'. In these carefully managed and deliberately confrontational meetings, regional managers would be encouraged to have a go at head office policies, and store managers would air their grievances against the goods foisted on them by central buyers. To add some (rather dark) humour to the occasion, Leighton would get executives who were being given a particularly hard time by their colleagues to`walk the plank' - a real plank set up on the meeting room table.  Every hesitant response would mean another pace along the plank towards a hypothetical watery grave. It apparently encouraged a frank exchange of views (I think we can agree on that) and probably did a great deal to draw the poison from the internal dissatisfactions which can, in so many organisations, be allowed to persist and fester. Robust and intriguing stuff.On Leadership is a hugely valuable and practical contribution to the study of business leadership. Leighton himself, despite his deliberately back seat and editorial approach, emerges as a clear-sighted, incisive, adventurous and rigorous leader.  Impressive.
