For once, a well-written book that lives up to its subtitle: A practical guide for ordinary heroes is certainly what this is. It was highly commended in the 2005 MCA/MT Writing Awards. The authors take an enlightened approach to leadership, informed by four years’ worth of interviews with real business leaders. A fine compendium of practical advice that should well serve any aspiring, new or seasoned leader.

Leadership
James B Rieley
Hodder Arnold
£14.99
This latest offering from the Telegraph Business Club is targeted specifically at SMEs. Mindful that the average entrepreneur doesn’t have much time to worry about the luxury of differing leadership styles, the book concentrates on getting the essentials right. Though his analogies can be a tad self-indulgent and there’s a little too much business-speak, this is a useful book.
