Barack Obama has put leadership at centre stage – so it’s not surprising that there has been great interest in management thinking, theory and skills. So, if you’re interested in executive development, this is the page for you!

You can also sign up here to our monthly Leadership email bulletin, with exclusive interviews, and the chance to ask questions of leadership ‘greats’ like John Adair, Ken Blanchard, Tom Peters and David Taylor. We'll also talk about team building in this section.

The leadership hall of fame

Several leadership 'greats' have spoken exclusively to Mike Levy, our great profile writer. Have a look through our 'leadership hall of fame.'

 The world is driven by financial greed and economic dogma- one controls the earth's resources and the others are its apologists.   Henry Mintzberg: Practice, not best practice

 

 We need to win back in the country, and business is a very important part of doing that; creating jobs, creating a structure, creating trust in the system.   Karren Brady: Being the new Margaret 

 

 The knowledge worker age, which we’re in now, means that you create a culture where competency is spread everywhere, and where the people, even at the bottom, are involved significantly in discussing key business decisions.  In the Spotlight: Stephen Covey

 The big heresy of our times is that all you have to do is get the top level right. 

John Adair: The rise of the new leader

 One of the reasons why people make lousy leaders is that they don’t know who they are. 

Ken Blanchard: An exclusive interview with the One Minute Manager

 Don't position yourself as an NLP trainer or an expert in one area: position yourself in offering results. 

Naked simplicity: The David Taylor interview

 A learning organisation is one that is renewing itself on a daily basis. 

Spraying the message: The Garry Ridge interview

 Leadership should be seen as an honour – you have an astonishing responsibility to those in your care. 

Tom Peters: In search of leadership heroes
