Publisher's Summary

In September 2012, a YouGov poll conducted in Britain found that the person British workers would most like as their manager was Sir Richard Branson.

With over 40 years in business, Richard Branson is an inspiring pioneer of humanitarian projects and an iconic business leader. In The Virgin Way: How to Listen, Learn, Laugh and Lead, Richard shares and distils his secrets of leadership and success. Featuring anecdotes from his own business dealings, as well as his observations of many others who have inspired him - from politicians, business leaders, explorers, scientists, and philanthropists - Richard reflects on the qualities he feels are essential for success in today's world.This is not a conventional book on leadership. There are no rules - but rather the secrets of leadership that he has learned along the way from his days at Virgin Records, to his recent work with The Elders. Whether you're at the beginning of your career, or head of a Fortune 500 company, this is your guide to being your own CEO (Chief Enabling Officer) and becoming a true leader, not just a boss.

Great way

It is interesting, exciting and funny at the same time. Even though it is not for everyone to follow Richards' methods, it is good to get an overview of his career and stories.

One of my biggest role models

Richard Branson is, after this book even more, one of my biggest heroes. I will "just start it" now.

Generally okay

This book was strongly recommended as a guide on leadership. however, although the story was enjoyable, it was quite repetitive. there was lots of praise for his employees which is nice but i was looking for more.

If you want to be inspired - listen to this.

I want to work for this guy.
That is what Richard Branson is capable of.
Like minded people want to work for this guy.
His method is so simple, it is called serving people.
Every business he has, has one purpose - to improve the life of the customer.
