About this audiobook
Want to be a better boss?
Make the most of your talent?
Great doesn’t have to be awful. Start with this guide to the innovative management style that built the Admiral Group into one of the world’s most successful and admired companies. Written by founder and former CEO Henry Engelhardt, Be a Better Boss is part memoir, part management philosophy and part practical manual, providing valuable leadership lessons for aspiring managers and existing managers alike.
Be a Better Boss will help any manager in any business to think creatively, make smarter decisions and manage people better. Admiral Group earns GBP4 billion a year in revenue and profits of GBP500 million. How? In Engelhardt’s words, ‘When people like what they do, they’ll do it better.’
This book shows you how to build, lead and motivate a team that loves challenges, pulls together and succeeds as a business.
