Summary
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.
Additionally, 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; and
- 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 organisations.

Megalomaniac retailer gets publishing contract
I don't think this book gets very deeply into the causes of the success that Tesco enjoyed during the period of Terry Leahy's leadership. To the extent that it does, it is because the character of the man comes through in his style of writing, and not because he has explained retailing truths in the content of the book. So, read this if you are interested in what makes Mr Leahy tick, but not if you want a thoughtful review of issues such as loyalty cards or international expansion.

Another book spoiled by no titles for the chapters
Very interesting story, well read, but I cant go back and enjoy particular chapters because "AUDIOBOOKS" does not give title to these 10 chapters.
Each Chapter is presented under a specific title, one of the "10 Words", but which chapter is which word ??
Audiobooks has no respect for the listener or the Author.
