"I have read lots of management books; however this book was different. I couldn't put it down!" -- Sarah Parr * Director of SIA Service and Customer Access Service, Liverpool Direct Limited * "A distinctive approach... (for) all those faced with the common challenge of leading businesses and organizations of any shape and size in the modern world. This is a practical book, grounded in sound scholarship which will help anyone to make sense of leadership." -- Professor David Major * consultant in work-based and lifelong learning * "Comprehensive, provides a fresh perspective and illustrates what the best leaders do well to develop competitive advantage... brings together the best thinking on this topic to provide leaders with a practical, insightful and informative toolkit." -- David Roberston * Vice President and Executive Consultant, The Forum Corporation (EMEA) * "Uncommon Leadership is a tour de force of the experiences and lessons learned from seasoned, successful leaders all integrated into a fascinating intellectual package. It reveals an exigent and compelling alternative to the leadership of the contemporary powerbrokers existing on today's world stage. It seems that people really are much more engaged by leaders who consistently offer the power of their own example - rather than by leaders who consistently offer only examples of their own power." * Professor Dennis J. Garritan, Adjunct Professor, Harvard University, Academic Dean at the Mountbatten Institute *
