Churchill's Secret Skills: It takes more than tough leadership and fine speeches to win a war

This book is so much more than just another business improvement book. Churchill published his memoirs of WWII in 1947, all 8000 pages of them including the appendices. I discovered them by accident, started reading Vol 1. Every so often Churchill would describe a situation from the war and offer the reader some advice, in the 5th volume he gave another piece of advice that really chimed with a business issue I recalled. It seemed a shame that his advice and secret skills learned over decades would never be passed on. This book captures Churchill's advice for a new audience. Each chapter describes the war situation the advice or skill emanates from and then places it into a business context. Unlike most business books, each chapter is full of surprising war stories. Once people start reading it they don't want to put it down. Everyone takes something away that enhances the way they work. It is a great read, improves business performance and provides lots of information about the war.

About the Author
I am the wrong side of 40, have a career as a manager in a big company in the UK. I am lucky enough to live with my wife and kids in a lovely part of the English countryside. After coming across his memoirs by accident I have spent years researching Churchill for my new book Churchill's Secret Skills. Whilst I find the subject absolutely fascinating I have finally worked out that for those around me such as family and work colleagues I have become a Churchill bore. I went through a phase of talking about Churchill and my book all the time, I can't quite put my finger on when it happened but I realised that peoples eyes would start to glaze over when I started talking about Churchill and my book. I was like a wind up toy. someone would only have to mention the War or Churchill and I was off, almost unstoppable as spewed out a great diatribe of information. Thankfully I have managed to get things under control now, I have a simple approach I just don't talk about Churchill or my book, and when asked by a colleague I limit my response. I wonder if other authors end up the same way.
