Sex, Leadership and Rock’n’Roll synthesises leading edge thinking on Leadership, Creativity, Innovation, Relationships, Motivation, High Performance and Change with a music metaphor, balancing visionary thinking with earthy pragmatism. Imagine a leadership guru met Madonna, Meatloaf, Mozart, Motorhead et al for a dialogue on these topics and you have an idea of what makes this book special. It's MBA level thinking 'tamed' with rock and pop culture!
Tom Peters, top business thinker, speaker and author of 'Thriving on Chaos' and 'In Search of Excellence' said of the book: "None would doubt that we live in a Rock’n’Roll Age - so what makes more sense than a brilliant, original, rockin' Rock’n’Roll model of business management and leadership? Sex, Leadership and Rock’n’Roll is a marvellous book, which closes the door on the tidy, hierarchical, know-your-place 'Orchestral Age' and ushers in a new, creative era of challenge and change. Hooray!"
Phil Beadle, Guardian Columnist, Award winning teacher, and author of 'Could do Better' added:
Sarah Goodwin, Fellow of the Institute of Business Consultants thought: Fun, funky and focused - a heady combination that made for a great romping read. Using an eclectic range of musical metaphors, supported by real substance and underlying understanding of the issues at the heart of true dynamic and effective leadership, Peter Cook really brings this read to life. The eye catching, enticing title does not disappoint, nor does the aligning of Sex, Rock and Roll, and indeed music of many genres, with our experiences of Leadership in the business world: you will be stirred, engaged, enraged and indeed amused in different ways. Do not however underestimate the power of the message underlying the metaphor. There is meat behind the fun facade that makes this book a valuable addition for those looking to encourage a fresh look at business leadership - and to be able to 'mosh' and thrash their 'air guitars' at work legitimately! School of Rock Fans will love it.
