About this listen

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.

Critic reviews

“The most inspiring autobiography you will read this year” ( Daily Mail)
“Should be required reading for anyone running a business, or indeed any organisation” (Chris Blackhurst Evening Standard)
“An insight into Sir Terry’s influences, his management style, the techniques he used to deliver results and his recollections on the genesis of some of his numerous achievements – Management in 10 Words is a revelation” ( The Grocer)
“Enlightening” ( Independent)
“This is the authentic voice of the man … the nearest any outsider is likely to get to understanding what motivated one of Britain’s most successful businesspeople” ( Financial Times)
“One’s heart usually sinks at management books by famous managers. They tend to be boastful, un-illuminating and loaded with jargon and cliché. Leahy is conscious of these traps, and rarely falls into them. His prose is as simple as his precepts, and although he is clearly proud of what he has achieved, this really is a book about what a great business should be, rather than about what a great man its author is.” (Charles Moore, Daily Telegraph)
“A veritable management page turner that has interesting things to say about everything from the evolution of British society to the art of transforming huge organisations.” ( The Economist)
