In his 14 years as CEO of Tesco, Sir Terry Leahy not only turned the company into the largest supermarket chain in the UK but also transformed it into a global enterprise. As a result, Sir Terry is now one of the world's most admired business leaders, widely acclaimed for his drive, flair and no-nonsense approach.

In Management in 10 Words he draws on his experience and expertise to pinpoint the ten vital attributes that make successful managers and underpin great organisations. He tackles the challenges that every manager faces, in a series of insights that are personal, provocative, and down to earth. And he explains:

Why initial failure often leads to ultimate success.
Why profits stem from a company's values, not its day-to-day business.
Why competition should always be welcomed.
Why simplicity leads to innovation.
Why trust is the bedrock of effective leadership

The result is an inspiring, thoughtful and supremely practical guide that will prove invaluable to all managers in all types of organisation.

The Tesco of Terry Leahy's day is a slightly different beast to the one you experience today. Though when he started to have an impact on the business it was smaller, and much more different. But then so was the retail grocery business. Terry Leahy's description of his time at Tesco is not just a story about him and time at Tesco but very interesting look at management: of people, of a growing business, of the supermarket industry, and of adapting to rapid changes. His ideas are born of old-school good values, how to treat people and how to do good business. Though the Tesco today has changed somewhat, and many resent it's intrusions into the High Street, some of things he and his team implemented over the years have revolutionised the supermarket business, and make sense when you hear his story. A good listen with very easily digestible chunks of management ideas and how the industry changed.

A very good listen - even if you don't like Tesco

Wow, what common sense and wise advice without arrogance. Each chapter has a clear message & is transferable to a range of businesses. A good holiday or car journey listen though possibly better studied in print.
Procurement, especially of IT, is never easy - this book needs to be read by Civil Servants & politicians before the country makes more expensive mistakes ...BDUK?

Far better than expected

What did you like most about Management in 10 Words?

Easy to listen. Not overly complicated and complex methods to improve self. He’s not invented the wheel but lots of gems and common sense (that at times is not so common) that can be applied to all businesses. Everyone will gain something from this book, regardless of industry. Made a number of notes whilst listening to this book, which il refer too in my career.

Excellent book. Not inventing the Wheel but...
