Each year at about this time I like to share with you some summer reading – my favourite books for leaders this year.
Both of these are readable, practical, and full of good, well-researched ideas to reflect on whilst you are lying on your sunbed or relaxing anywhere else.

If you’ve enjoyed the four articles I’ve written recently on Changing our Team Culture then you’ll love our Manchester Masterclass on Winning Teams. Our May event sold out quickly so we’re running another half-day event on 12th October.
This is not a massive ‘presentation’. We want you to have our personal attention so the event is capped at 18 people. Half the places have already gone, so don’t delay if you want a place.
You can find all the details here.
Look forward to seeing you there!
