"A lot has been written about organisational transformation and leadership skills. Douglas McEncroe has had a long and successful career consulting on both. He has now delivered his ideas in a very useful book, using the interesting and clever analogy of slow cooking.

In my career in stockbroking and as a company director I have seen successful-sounding strategies fail to be implemented, usually due to the lack of depth in leadership.

I commend this book as I think it makes a very worthwhile contribution to help improve leadership in organisations."
